Does anyone know the inner information about the next macOS version - macOS 16? I know that WWDC 2025 will be held on June 6 - 13, 2025, and am curious about the new designs and features of macOS 16.

Based on the trajectory set by macOS Sequoia (macOS 15) and Apple’s broader ecosystem developments, I have some informed predictions for macOS 16.
Undisputed stability and performance enhancements
macOS Sequoia introduced several features powered by Apple Intelligence, such as Memory movies in Photos and Smart Reply in Mail and Messages. However, some users reported issues like external display problems and VoiceOver navigation errors. macOS 16 is expected to focus on refining these features, enhancing system stability, and optimizing performance, particularly for Apple Silicon Macs
M5 chip rollout
Likewise, the former M1, M2, M3, M4, Apple will probably roll out the next generation of Apple silicon chip - M5 on WWDC 2025. It will bring far unexpected performance for laptops.
Advanced AI Integration
Sequoia introduced Apple Intelligence features ChatGPT integration in Siri. To bring users a better experience and cater to the AI trend, macOS 16 is likely to expand on this foundation with AI-powered search and on-device AI models. Greater utilization of the Apple Neural Engine for local AI tasks.

AI involvement would be the main change in macOS 16. Features like Spotlight, space management may involve AI.
No big changes but small improvements on original features. Guess macOS 16 will add some new features related to AI for designing apps, search functions.
I heard that macOS 16 will bring improved work consistency with iOS and iPadOS, such as screen sharing, file sharing, etc. Apple bundles more tightly with its products after every system update.
