Summary
Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote, likely Tim Cook's last as CEO, introduced Siri AI (rebranded assistant), iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and three generative AI photo editing tools. The announcements were described as iterative rather than innovative. Notably, the new Siri AI will be blocked in the EU and China at launch due to regulatory concerns. The event also marks a leadership transition with hardware SVP John Ternus taking over as CEO in September.

An iterative rather than innovative set of announcements, especially as EU and China users won't see the new Siri at launch.
It's a transition that may hopefully see the end of the over-produced video presentations that Apple has relied on since the pandemic.
