While WWDC 2025 is likely to be the destination where Apple previews its overhaul of the Shortcuts app, not all of them may immediately be released. Gurman notes that while these additions were previously expected to be introduced this year, delays could push them till 2026.

This may let creators leverage its on-device AI technology which is currently used for text summarisation and other lightweight tasks.

Meanwhile, an AI doctor service dubbed Mulberry is also said to be in development alongside a redesigned Health app, and could be introduced as a spring update for iOS 26. The company is also reportedly working on a chatbot that will serve as a competitor to ChatGPT. It may be able to pull in data from the web.
