The stage is set for Tim Cook's final big event as Apple CEO, and to millions of Apple users like me, there's a lot on the line at WWDC 2026. We've seen Apple start to trail in Artificial Intelligence to the likes of Google and Anthropic, and the promised Siri 2.0 has yet to appear.Apple has many different platforms that serve all kinds of users. As such, some of today's announcements will be more relevant to you than others. I, like many people, decided not to purchase a $3,500 Vision Pro, so I don't worry too much about any new visionOS features. But I use my iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch a lot. So I'll be waiting to see what's unveiled for those products.Finally, I do want to see Apple step up its game with Siri. I currently use Siri for all the basic tasks: setting reminders, responding to a message or playing some music. But if I have a particular query that I want to deep-dive on, I'm going straight to Gemini or ChatGPT.All that being said, here are three key things I'm expecting — and most excited to see — at today's event.iOS 27's AI photo editing tools
(Image credit: Future)I have a mirrorless camera, but 90% of the photos I take are with my phone. And since a lot of the time I'm using an iPhone, Apple's camera app does a lot of the heavy lifting. So when I saw the rumor Apple will be adding Pro controls to the iPhone camera app, I caught myself nodding along, thinking: Yes, this is a good idea.It's been suggested that iPhone photographers can switch from the simple camera controls to an advanced version that unlocks more customization around depth-of-field and exposure. Sometimes, I deliberately want to make a shot look lighter or darker — such as when shooting listing pictures for eBay to give a more true-to-life look.Other improvements are reportedly new controls for timer and photo styles, better grid and leveling options, and a repositioned toggle for seeing all the new controls at a glance. It's also been leaked that we'll be seeing new AI editing tools called Extend, Enhance and Reframe for photos once they're taken, and I'm looking forward to trying them.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.Apple Health Upgrades
