Apple CEO Tim Cook's last WWDC is set to be both bittersweet and groundbreaking. The event promises new OS releases, an upgraded Siri powered by Google’s Gemini AI, and potential hints at future hardware.

The keynote, scheduled for June 8th, will focus on integrating artificial intelligence more deeply into Apple’s ecosystem. Expect macOS, iOS and watchOS 27 to bring enhanced performance and stability, with a heavy dose of AI features like digital passes and receipt splitting through photos.

Siri is getting a significant overhaul, moving from its frustrating past to a smarter, more integrated assistant. A darker interface, dedicated Dynamic Island presence, and chatbot-like capabilities could make Siri indispensable. The partnership with Google suggests Apple is leveraging external tech to improve user experience—could this be the dawn of a more seamless integration?

Hardware-wise, whispers hint at upcoming smart glasses or an iPhone foldable device. While these may not materialise here, they are indicative of Apple’s future plans. The absence of new Mac announcements suggests fall events might hold those surprises.

The event reflects Cook's leadership by prioritising AI and subscriptions over big feature releases, cementing his legacy as the architect of Apple's subscription strategy. As we watch, will Siri truly rise to the top or just become a stepping stone in Apple’s tech evolution?
