Apple has scheduled its Worldwide Developers Conference for June 8 through 12, 2026. The event will offer initial glimpses into significant updates across Apple’s ecosystem, emphasizing AI progress and new software alongside developer tools.
On June 8, a special in-person keynote will take place at Apple Park, with live streaming available through YouTube and the Apple Developer app. This presentation typically centers on major software releases that undergo summer testing before launching in the fall alongside new hardware like iPhones.
Anticipated software versions include iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. These updates are expected to enhance the Liquid Glass design language and deliver on promised AI advancements. Support for the last Intel-based Macs will likely be discontinued.
While hardware announcements occasionally occur at WWDC, the focus remains predominantly on software. The keynote and Platforms State of the Union presentation on June 8 will be live and in-person, providing opportunities for attendees to engage with Apple engineers and designers.
Most developer-focused sessions will be held online, continuing the trend from recent years. In-person access for the June 8 events will be allocated via a lottery system for those who apply.
