2. watchOS 12

The updated watchOS 12 is expected to get new features like the integration of Apple Intelligence. While not all AI features might be included at the beginning, the company might introduce select features that rely on the iPhone for processing.

4. Smarter Siri

Siri is expected to get long-awaited improvements with iOS 19. It will introduce on-screen awareness powered by Apple Intelligence so users will be able to perform more complex tasks effortlessly. Voice assistant will be able to extract info from the screen, offer cross-app functionality, and enhance hands-free usage.

5. Apple Intelligence

Even though AI features announced in 2024 are yet to roll out, Apple might hover over this category in WWDC 2025. AI might be a key topic at the upcoming conference, but since Apple has been facing problems in rolling out AI capabilities, the company might take it slow this time.
