Apple teases features for new iPhones at conference

  • Apple has introduced a "Liquid Glass" design for all its products, featuring transparent and dynamic menus that react to movement, inspired by visionOS on the Vision Pro.
  • Apple is rebranding its operating systems to be named after the year of release, such as iOS 26 instead of iOS 19, aligning all systems under a unified naming convention.
  • Apple is opening its foundational AI model for third-party developers and integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT into its Image Playground app.
  • New iPhone features include "Call Screening", which automatically answers unknown calls and transcribes the caller's purpose, and live translation for phone calls, compatible with non-iPhones.
  • Apple's Visual Intelligence app will be enhanced to analyse screen items and link them with apps, allowing users to find similar products online through installed apps.
