2. New design for iOS 18?
What is striking about the announcement of the WWDC 2024 is the design that Apple has chosen. Usually the letters have a sleek white design, but this year Apple has gone for a colorful font. This may indicate a new design for iOS 18. Previous rumors already predicted a new design, which now seems to be confirmed. That’s about time, because it’s been a while since iOS got a new design.
It has been more than ten years since Apple introduced a completely new interface for the iPhone with iOS 7.

We will undoubtedly see this at WWDC 2024, when Apple announces iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. The Mac reportedly has to wait a while for a new design.
3. Major update for Siri
On Apple’s website we also see a round colored circle with the announcement of the WWDC 2024. This refers to the Apple Park, where Apple’s round headquarters are located. Yet there seems to be a meaning behind it, because Siri is expected to receive a huge update this year. Apple’s voice assistant is becoming much smarter through the use of new AI functions and language models.
Siri is going to change a lot this year and Apple will undoubtedly show all the new features at WWDC 2024. The new generation of Siri may have a new icon that looks something like the round circle on the website. There is also a chance that the round circle refers to the circular apps in visionOS, or the new design of iOS 18. Will round app icons come to your iPhone?
