Apple announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be June 8-12 this year, beginning with a keynote on Monday, June 8. 

Each year, WWDC is used to unveil the company's latest slate of software coming to iPhones, iPads, Macs and more. The news comes after the company released the iPhone 17E, iPad Air M4, and a number of new Macs, including the $599 MacBook Neo earlier in March. While we have seen some hardware announced during previous WWDC keynotes, like the Vision Pro in 2023, the developers conference has recently been focused on software and Apple Intelligence.

At the 2026 event, we expect Apple to introduce new versions of operating systems, like iOS 27, MacOS 27, iPadOS 27, WatchOS 27, VisionOS 27 and TVOS 27. 

"WWDC is one of the most exciting times for us at Apple because it's a chance for our incredible global developer community to come together for an electrifying week that celebrates technology, innovation and collaboration," Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations, said in a statement.
