— Apple Hub (@theapplehub) June 8, 2026The updated Siri will be available first in English, then expand to other languages. It is expected to work across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro, with deeper device context, back-and-forth conversations, and more integration with Spotlight and system files. Apple also showed a customizable Siri voice, revamped dictation, and a 3D Siri experience for Vision Pro.Safari is getting AI-powered automatic tab grouping, along with a feature that monitors web pages and notifies users of changes. Apple also highlighted privacy messaging, taking a shot at rival AI browsers that track user activity.Headlines from MacWorld:1. Tim opens the show for the last time: Tim Cook is giving his usual intro talking about how great Apple’s devices and tools are and praising its developers. Show a pic of the Earth taken from the journey to the moon. Apple Intelligence and Siri starting things off!2. Three areas of focus: Platform improvements, Trust and safety, Apple Intelligence, and Siri3. A new version of macOS has been revealed, called Golden Gate4. They're not announcing features for each iOS (just yet), but rather talking about system-wide changes that affect all OSes. For example, there’s now a Liquid Glass slider as well as a unified menu bar. In macOS, sidebar icons will be clearer and more consistent. App icons will get a new Liquid Glass layer that add depth and refraction. System optimization is smooth, and “a lot” of things are faster. iPhone and iPad launch up to 30% faster.5. Improved Search: iOS, iPad, and macOS rebuilt the foundation of search that powers Spotlight, Settings, and Mail. It’s more stable and more efficient, indexed immediately. This is the only thing I wanted and I can’t wait to try it out.6. A new voice for Siri: Siri AI, as Apple is calling it, has a new customizable voice with sliders for pace and expressivity.7. Siri does what other chatbots do: Apple is spending a bit of time demoing Siri doesn things that ChatGPT and Gemini already do, like making plans, messaging groups of friends, getting information from the web, create a menu on the iPhone. On the Mac, Siri is integrated into Spotlight, which could be trouble if Apple hasn’t fixed it like it said.8. Siri, Siri, Siri: The Siri section is long as expected, but there’s not a lot here that wasn’t previewed back in 2024. And of course, other chatbots and AI platforms are already doing a lot of this stuff. It remains to be seen whether the deep integration with Apple products will be enough.9. WatchOS: It took almost an hour, but Apple finally mentioned watchOS in the WWDC keynote. It will be getting a new app layout and some Apple Intelligence features including the new Siri.10. Visual Intelligence gets new abilities: Visual Intelligence with Siri can understand more about what’s on your screen and will be able to get contextual answers about the things it sees around you and on your screen. I have to wonder how many of these features will elicit yawns from users. We’ll have to see how it works.The market reaction was underwhelming.*APPLE SHARES TURN NEGATIVE AFTER GAINING AS MUCH AS 3.3% https://t.co/L0jRH6shpZ
