More from WWDC 2026: All the news from Apple’s developers conference
At a tech talk during WWDC 2026, Apple revealed that the company worked with Nvidia, Google, and Intel to make Private Cloud Compute work on the industry-leading AI hardware. Apple Foundational Model runs on Nvidia hardware within Google’s cloud. For more details, see our live blog.

While Apple is launching Siri AI in English later this year, it wants EU users to have someone to blame for why it won’t be available there immediately on all of its platforms (only macOS, watchOS, and visionOS at first), similar to other EU-delayed Apple Intelligence updates:
Siri AI is private by design and deeply integrated across Apple’s platforms using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud. However, under EU regulators’ extreme interpretation of the DMA, Apple would have to give any virtual assistant direct access to users’ private data — and the ability to directly control other installed applications — as soon as Siri AI is made available in the EU, without the essential protections necessary to keep users and their data safe.
According to Apple, iOS 27 will offer “consolidated notifications for multiple tapbacks in messages.” Praise the Apple gods! Your group chats are saved!
The update-filled keynote showed an AI-upgraded Siri along with new features across Apple’s operating systems.
An on-the-record chat about Apple Intelligence.
Well that was a strange keynote! While Nilay, Vee, and Allison go run around Apple Park trying to learn more about the future of Siri, Hayden Field and Jake Kastrenakes are joining me in a half-hour-ish to break down this year’s WWDC. Come hang!
As part of its upcoming iOS 27 update, AirPods are finally getting a custom equalizer. The new feature will let you adjust how AirPods represent any audio, with a custom profile where you can adjust the lows, mids, and highs. Previously, AirPods have had a fixed sound profile provided by Apple, so this new option gives AirPods owners a lot more flexibility.
AI Siri, take two? Definitely everything coming to iOS 27, macOS 27, and more.
Apple’s Greg Joswiak is teasing a very glowy logo ahead of next week’s WWDC — one that could match the rumored design for Siri’s big upgrade that’s expected to be revealed at the show. I like it.
