New versions of Apple's software platforms are available today (www.apple.com)

Apple pushed major updates across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS today, pairing a new “Liquid Glass” design with a big expansion of Apple Intelligence — Apple’s on-device multimodal AI stack — that surfaces everywhere from Messages and FaceTime to Apple Watch workouts and Vision Pro spatial apps. Key user-facing features include Live Translation across Messages/FaceTime/Phone/AirPods, visual intelligence that lets you take a screenshot and ask follow‑up questions (including searching Google, Etsy and other apps for similar images/products), Genmoji creation, and a new Workout Buddy that provides personalized, spoken motivation using a dynamic generative voice built from Apple Fitness+ trainer audio. For developers and the AI/ML community the headline is that Apple’s on‑device foundation model is now available to apps and Shortcuts, enabling privacy‑protected, offline intelligent features and automated workflows. Apple highlighted early integrations (task suggestion in Streaks, conversational weather in CARROT, teleprompter/script generation in Detail) to show practical use cases. Apple also shipped clinically validated, ML‑based hypertension notifications on Apple Watch and richer multimodal capabilities in visionOS (widgets, Personas, spatial browsing), signaling a push toward local, real‑time AI across health, vision and creative workflows. These updates tighten the platform’s support for on‑device ML, lower latency/privacy barriers, and broaden opportunities for developers to build composable, offline AI experiences.
