WWDC 2026 - the full list of enhancements from the keynote slide.
Stacey Ford at Apple’s keynote:
We scoured every part of the OS for opportunities to refine our systems from the UI to the foundations.
Nothing was off limits, no enhancement too small.
We made things faster, smoother, even easier to use and we took care of a bunch of things you've been asking about.
At the 6 minutes and 22 seconds mark into the keynote, every single enhancement (at least that’s my assumption) was listed on the screen for all platforms, and I listed them here for your perusal if you should so choose to scroll down the rabbit hole.
