Apple is set to focus its upcoming announcements on Apple Intelligence during WWDC 2025, primarily targeting developer tools and enhanced translation features. Among these features is live translation through AirPods. This development was hinted at in various pre-WWDC leaks, despite initial expectations that there would be limited news on Apple Intelligence following last year’s launch. According to reports from Bloomberg, Apple has identified two major priorities for Apple Intelligence this year, along with two additional minor focuses.
The first major emphasis will be on translation capabilities, which are expected to expand across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS platforms. This includes automatic translation of Messages and live call translations, enhancing user communication. Additionally, Apple is reportedly working on providing live conversation translation through AirPods. Earlier discussions suggested that this feature would automatically detect the spoken language, streamlining multilingual interactions for users.
For developers, a significant enhancement is on the horizon, granting access to Apple Intelligence tools similar to those used for Genmoji and Writing Tools. This access will enable developers to create applications leveraging the same advanced AI functionalities that Apple utilizes. Genmoji, one of the smaller areas of focus, is anticipated to receive a minor upgrade, allowing users to combine existing emojis into new images. Alongside these specific features, Apple is expected to refresh its Shortcuts app to simplify the automation process across Macs, iPhones, and iPads.
All these features are poised for unveiling during the WWDC opening keynote on June 9, which will also include an extensive redesign of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, making this event a significant milestone in Apple’s development journey.
