Apple is hosting its big fall event on September 9th, 2025, to announce its latest iPhones and Apple Watches. We’re expecting Apple to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and a brand-new thinner model called the iPhone Air. The big question: Do people want thinner phones? Will it sacrifice battery life? Also on deck: AirPods Pro 3 are possible, and we’ll likely see the Apple Watch Series 11, a new budget Apple Watch SE, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Now that we’ve had a couple of days to digest all the Siri AI updates, the new corner radii, and everything else Apple announced at its developer conference, we spend the episode answering all your most burning questions. What non-AI stuff are we excited about? How much catching up did Siri really do this week? And wait: what about the HomePod?

AI health coach fatigue is creeping in, and it’s doing the concept more harm than good.
Last year’s macOS Tahoe was the last version to officially support Intel Macs, so it’s not a big surprise that Apple now doesn’t require Mac developers to offer versions of their apps that are compatible with Intel machines.

“This includes the ability to redistribute, amplify, or interact with user-generated content through a social feed or similar discovery method that visibly spreads content to many users,” Apple says.
If an app has these “social media capabilities,” it will affect the app’s age rating and it’s measured in Screen Time’s Time Allowance. Whether or not those capabilities are available to users under 13 will also affect the rating and Time Allowance measurement.
The company has some new ideas on ‘What is a photo?’
The company is going all in on AI agents, but how will its years-late promises compete in today’s AI market?
Literally — the upcoming visionOS 27 update lets you add a glowing, animated Siri AI ball anywhere on your workspace, and ask questions when you look at it. It’ll even shine light on any nearby surfaces, making it truly feel like part of the environment.
At a tech talk during WWDC 2026, Apple revealed that the company worked with Nvidia, Google, and Intel to make Private Cloud Compute work on the industry-leading AI hardware. Apple Foundational Model runs on Nvidia hardware within Google’s cloud. For more details, see our live blog.
While Apple is launching Siri AI in English later this year, it wants EU users to have someone to blame for why it won’t be available there immediately on all of its platforms (only macOS, watchOS, and visionOS at first), similar to other EU-delayed Apple Intelligence updates:
Siri AI is private by design and deeply integrated across Apple’s platforms using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud. However, under EU regulators’ extreme interpretation of the DMA, Apple would have to give any virtual assistant direct access to users’ private data — and the ability to directly control other installed applications — as soon as Siri AI is made available in the EU, without the essential protections necessary to keep users and their data safe.
The update-filled keynote showed an AI-upgraded Siri along with new features across Apple’s operating systems.
An on-the-record chat about Apple Intelligence.
Well that was a strange keynote! While Nilay, Vee, and Allison go run around Apple Park trying to learn more about the future of Siri, Hayden Field and Jake Kastrenakes are joining me in a half-hour-ish to break down this year’s WWDC. Come hang!
As part of its upcoming iOS 27 update, AirPods are finally getting a custom equalizer. The new feature will let you adjust how AirPods represent any audio, with a custom profile where you can adjust the lows, mids, and highs. Previously, AirPods have had a fixed sound profile provided by Apple, so this new option gives AirPods owners a lot more flexibility.
AI Siri, take two? Definitely everything coming to iOS 27, macOS 27, and more.
While Google’s I/O developer event is about to start tomorrow, Apple’s own event is scheduled to begin on June 8th, as it just reminded potential attendees.
Apple event invites can sometimes tease what we’ll see, but your guess is as good as mine as to what these visuals might mean.
