Software, software and even more software. That's what Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is all about, and this year won't be any different.
Apple may be best known for its hardware, but it's really the seamless integration of its hardware with its software that has set it apart from rivals. It's critical that Apple make a strong impression at WWDC with the next versions of its software, including iOS for iPhones. The company's ability to control every aspect of its products -- something that began when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple 40 years ago -- has been key in making Apple the most powerful company in tech.
CNET will be on hand at Apple's keynote presentation at 10 a.m. PT on Monday to bring you all the news, reviews and photos from the event, as it happens. Our live blog will start an hour before the event kicks off.

Never before has Apple had so many different operating systems. There's iOS for iPhones and iPads, Mac OS X for its computers, tvOS for Apple TV and watchOS for the Apple Watch. Then there's Apple Pay, iTunes, Apple Music, the App Store, iCloud, HomeKit and various other apps and services. If rumors prove true, most of those areas will get an update this year.
Already, Apple has unveiled upcoming changes to the App Store. Expected on Monday is a smarter version of Siri, Apple's digital assistant that has lagged behind Google's helper, Amazon's Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana. Apple may let third-party apps work with Siri, and the voice assistant may come to the Macintosh computer.
Also on the likely update list is Apple Music. The company launched its streaming-music service a year ago, but Apple Music hasn't measured up to the hopes of some users. Many market watchers expect an overhaul of the service's design and functions. Then there are all the tweaks to Apple's other software and services, like Apple Pay, which could roll out peer-to-peer payments.
