Apple has officially announced macOS Tahoe, version 26, at its annual WWDC event. The new operating system introduces a visually striking Liquid Glass design, offering a refreshed user experience with a cohesive design language spanning across Apple’s entire ecosystem, including iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. This marks the first time Apple has implemented a universal design philosophy across its platforms, aiming to bring a new level of vitality while maintaining the familiarity of Apple's software. The Liquid Glass aesthetic features translucent elements that dynamically reflect and refract their surroundings, creating a sense of depth and movement, enhancing the user experience.
The Liquid Glass design extends throughout the system, with glossy translucent menu bars, windows, and icons. The surfaces softly reflect light and display subtle color tints, allowing users to customize folders with various accent colors. Widgets and buttons now have a more three-dimensional feel while remaining crisp. The Dock appears to float on a frosted glass shelf, and Control Center icons animate with a soft glow when activated. These changes provide macOS Tahoe with a more modern look while keeping familiar layouts and workflows intact. Furthermore, macOS Tahoe includes a dedicated Phone app that mirrors the iPhone Phone app through Continuity integration. Users can see Live Activities directly on their Mac lock screen and screen unknown callers with Call Screening and Hold Assist. In addition to the design overhaul, Apple is embedding generative AI models directly into Xcode and iOS apps, emphasizing privacy and user control. The company introduced the Foundation Models framework, allowing developers to add Apple's AI models to their apps with just three lines of Swift code. These models run entirely on the device, requiring no cloud connection and designed to protect user privacy. The framework includes features like "Guided Generation" and "Tool Calling," making it easier to add generative AI to existing apps. Additionally, Xcode 26 now allows developers to access ChatGPT directly inside the IDE, even without a personal OpenAI account.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 highlighted the continued development of Apple Intelligence, despite initial delays and underwhelming features from the previous year. While the spotlight shifted towards software revamps and new apps, Apple reaffirmed its commitment to AI by unveiling a series of enhancements and integrations across its ecosystem. Notably, the company emphasized the progression of Apple Intelligence with more capable and efficient models, teasing additional features to be revealed throughout the presentation.
Apple is expanding Apple Intelligence through access to its on-device foundation model to third-party developers, allowing them to implement offline AI features. These AI features will be private and come without API fees. Users gain deeper access through new Shortcuts actions that offer direct access to Apple Intelligence models. The AI action will also include the option to use ChatGPT instead. A key update is the introduction of Live Translation, integrated into Messages, FaceTime, and the Phone app. This feature facilitates real-time language translation, automatically translating texts and displaying captions during conversations. Visual intelligence, will allow users to select an object and search for similar products. These enhancements demonstrate Apple's focus on providing practical and user-friendly AI tools across its devices, aiming to streamline communication and improve user experience.
