Apple has revealed the schedule for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), slated to occur between June 8 and 12. The event follows the company's usual pattern for such gatherings, meaning CEO Tim Cook is expected to deliver the opening keynote on June 8, probably starting at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
The majority of the conference will happen virtually and at no cost, but a limited number of developers, students, and journalists can join in person at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. Participants can follow the proceedings through the Apple Developer application, the official site, and YouTube. In China, content will also stream on the Apple Developer channel on Bilibili.
As a gathering centered on software, WWDC is likely to showcase the next generation of operating systems, designated with the '27' version number. Anticipated updates encompass iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, visionOS 27, watchOS 27, and macOS 27.
Details on innovations in these software releases remain unclear, and according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the event might feel somewhat subdued compared to past years. Speculation points to iOS 27 offering key enhancements to Apple Intelligence features, plus the long-awaited redesign of Siri. Other whispers include support for split-screen multitasking, an updated Health application interface, and improved power optimization tools for iPhone devices.
The countdown to the conference is relatively short, and Engadget plans to deliver live updates on every major disclosure and introduction.
