Apple just confirmed its WWDC event for June 8–12, and this year’s focus is clear: AI. After barely mentioning it last year, the company is now expected to showcase major advancements, including a smarter, more context-aware Siri and deeper AI integration across iOS, macOS, and its developer tools.

With partnerships like Google’s Gemini and tools like ChatGPT and Claude already entering Apple’s ecosystem, this could mark a turning point in how Apple approaches artificial intelligence. The real question is whether Apple can catch up — or redefine the AI race on its own terms.
