<p><span class="pagebody-location"><strong>CUPERTINO</strong> &#8212;</span> Apple previewed its upcoming software releases at its Worldwide Developers Conference that will deliver the next version of <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/apple-intelligence-brings-powerful-ai-capabilities-into-everyday-experiences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Intelligence</a> and introduce <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/apple-introduces-siri-ai-a-profoundly-more-capable-and-personal-assistant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Siri AI</a>, an entirely new version of Siri that the company says is more intelligent, knowledgeable, and capable. The releases also bring <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/apple-previews-new-child-safety-features/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-focus-method="mouse">new features to help parents create safe digital experiences for kids</a>, as well as improvements that further elevate the software design and performance of Apple products while making them more responsive, delightful, and easier to use with <a href="https://www.apple.com/os/ios/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iOS 27</a>, <a href="https://www.apple.com/os/ipados/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iPadOS 27</a>, <a href="https://www.apple.com/os/macos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">macOS 27</a>, <a href="https://www.apple.com/os/watchos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">watchOS 27</a>, <a href="https://www.apple.com/os/visionos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">visionOS 27</a>, and tvOS 27.</p>
<p>“Apple products are an essential part of people’s lives, and this year we’re bringing powerful new capabilities to empower our users in even more ways,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “We’re delivering the next generation of Apple Intelligence across our platforms; introducing Siri AI, a profoundly more intelligent, knowledgeable, and capable Siri; expanding child safety features with intuitive new tools for families; and making our software platforms faster, more reliable, and more delightful than ever before.”</p>
<p>Siri AI is an entirely new version of Siri deeply integrated into iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. It can draw on personal context understanding to search across messages, emails, photos, and more, and get things done across apps with even more systemwide app actions. Additionally, Siri AI can answer questions related to the content on a user’s screen or go out to the web to get up-to-date information using broad world knowledge and generate a helpful answer. A dedicated Siri app allows users to revisit a past conversation or kick off a new one — all in one place — and uses iCloud to privately sync conversational history across a user’s products.</p>
<p>Apple didn&#8217;t say when Siri AI will be released to the general public but is targeting this fall.</p>
<p>In addition to Siri AI, the next generation of Apple Intelligence powers tremendous new features in apps across the system to simplify the things users do every day, like editing images in Photos, browsing across multiple tabs in Safari, expressing creativity with Image Playground, communicating in Messages and Mail, and so much more.</p>
<p>Apple will improve parental controls on its devices with features that are easy to use help parents manage what their kids can see, who they can talk to, and when they have access to apps. By setting up a child account, parents can immediately enable age-appropriate protections across the system, and with Setup Assistant, parents can choose exactly which apps to make available and stay in control of what gets added over time. With communication safety features, parents can require approval for each new contact their kids connect with and enable automatic interventions if explicit or violent content is being shared.</p>
