Apple Adds AI Features, Delays Smarter Siri at WWDC

At WWDC 2025, Apple announced incremental AI-powered enhancements across its operating systems, including iOS 26 and visionOS 26. The Vision Pro headset received AI-driven updates, such as 'spatial scenes' adding 3D depth to photos and more realistic avatar Personas for FaceTime. Live translation features now support eight additional languages, and Genmoji and Image Playground capabilities were expanded with ChatGPT integration. Visual intelligence tools enable users to interact with on-screen content and extract actionable details like event information. Developers now have access to Apple's Foundation Models Framework, bolstering on-device AI with a continued emphasis on privacy. However, major upgrades like a smarter Siri were delayed, raising some concerns about Apple's AI leadership.
