Introduction of Liquid Glass
The tech giant introduced Liquid Glass – a translucent material that emulates glass in the real world. This leverages real-time rendering and reacts dynamically to movement with highlights. Largely inspired by the depth of visionOS, this new design creates a new and more engaging experience on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.

Apple Intelligence with a Boost
Apple Intelligence is getting more intelligent – and more fun – across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. New features like Live Translation make it easier to break through language barriers in conversations, whether you’re texting or talking. You’ll also see playful updates to Genmoji and Image Playground, adding creativity to your chats.
On-screen Visual Intelligence takes things further by letting you search or act on anything you’re viewing – right from within your apps. Need more context? Ask ChatGPT about what’s on your screen, or quickly find similar images and products on Google and more. Imagine being able to quickly search for products while browsing in any app, and adding it to your cart – just by tapping on ChatGPT.

Two new AirPods features are coming to AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and AirPods Pro 2: studio‑quality audio recording and camera remote control.

Meanwhile, the camera remote lets users press and hold the AirPods stem to snap photos or start/stop video in Apple’s Camera app and supported third-party camera apps.
