From the rumors, it seems like this is going to be a Snow Leopard year, so we'll all be trying to read the tea leaves in any changes in software or designs that align with hardware rumors for the fall!

Let’s be honest this year all the update will be boring, with just bug fix updates that won’t actually be fixed after 3 months beta testing. Also it will just be talking about ai and Siri blah blah blah, no exciting new features
Bug fix update is good , no need for more new useless features , just give us a polished iOS

Can we have a % of how likely it is for a developer to actually go in person?
I signed up as a registered developer from 2023 - 2025 and have been denied every year, yet people who have developer accounts for no reason but to install developer betas (which you dont even need anymore) went in person lol...

Don't believe that for one second. All the focus on Siri and foldables will introduce many, many new issues and challenges. They might have an internal memo saying they want to prioritize performance and bug fixes, but they will keep putting out new features and introducing new bugs because new sells.
