Apple Releases Official WWDC 2026 Schedule

Apple has officially shared the details for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which will take place from June 8 to June 12. The entire event will be held online, giving developers from across the globe free access to the latest software and tools.

The event kicks off on June 8 with the main Apple Keynote presentation at 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m EDT again. During this opening presentation, the company will showcase upcoming updates for its major operating systems. Apple confirmed that this year’s updates will place a heavy focus on artificial intelligence advancements, alongside new software features and developer tools. So maybe we’ll finally get to see the new AI Siri.

Following the main keynote, Apple will host the Platforms State of the Union at 1 p.m. PDT on June 8. This session will offer a deeper look into the new technologies, programming interfaces, and tools that developers can use to build their applications.

Both presentation broadcasts will be available to stream live on the official Apple website, the Apple TV app, and the company’s YouTube channel. On-demand recordings will be published immediately after the live streams finish.

Beyond the major presentations, the week-long conference includes more than 100 technical video sessions, curated guides, and digital engineering forums. Apple is also introducing online Group Labs running from Tuesday through Friday. These live interactive sessions will allow developers to ask questions directly to Apple engineers regarding machine learning, Apple Intelligence, design, and graphics.

While the conference is primarily digital, Apple will host a small in-person celebration at Apple Park on June 8. More than 1,000 developers, designers, and students have been invited to the campus. This group includes 50 distinguished winners of the Swift Student Challenge, who received a special three-day trip to Cupertino.

Apple also revealed the 36 finalists for the annual Apple Design Awards today, with the winners set to be announced in the coming weeks.

We are looking forward to seeing the new AI Siri (powered by Google Gemini nonetheless). Siri was the first voice assistant to launch in 20211, but soon became the worst. Apple has some work to do here.
