Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from June 8 to 12, with this year’s edition continuing in a primarily online format while also including a limited in-person gathering at Apple Park.
The conference, commonly known as WWDC, is a key date in Apple’s calendar, offering developers a first look at updates across its software ecosystem. This year’s programme is expected to highlight advancements in Apple Intelligence (the company’s bouquet of artificial intelligence features), alongside updates to Apple’s operating systems and developer tools.
Recent reports suggest Apple may split its next iPhone launch (expected to be the iPhone 18 series), with the Pro model debuting ahead of the standard version by several months. Bloomberg has also indicated that other products — including a smart home hub, an updated HomePod, and a new Apple TV device — could be delayed until the next iteration of Siri is ready.
Proceedings will begin on June 8 with the keynote presentation, followed by the Platforms State of the Union. As in previous years, the bulk of the conference will unfold online, with more than 100 video sessions, as well as group labs and one-on-one appointments designed to give developers direct access to Apple’s engineers and designers.
While the event remains largely virtual, Apple will host a parallel in-person experience on the opening day at its Cupertino headquarters. Attendance will be limited, with selected developers and students invited to watch the keynote, participate in sessions, and interact with Apple teams.
