Apple’s next Worldwide Developers Conference will be held from June 8 to June 12 online and at its headquarters in Cupertino, California, the company announced Monday.
The iPhone maker said this year’s conference — in which it typically announces new software and features across its range of devices — will focus on “AI advancements” along with updates for platforms like iOS, macOS, tvOS, and WatchOS, and new software and developer tools.
The conference will stream live on the Apple Developer app, Apple’s website, and the Apple Developer YouTube channel. In China, the conference will be streamed on the Apple Developer bilibili channel.
Last year, Apple focused WWDC on its “Liquid Glass” interface design, with AI largely unmentioned. This conference will likely be different. Apple has been expected to launch a new Siri with advanced AI capabilities, and earlier this year signed a deal with Google to use Gemini to power AI features on its platform. This year’s WWDC might finally show the revamped Siri with better personal context and on-screen awareness.
The company announced Apple’s Foundation Model framework with AI models that could work offline at last year’s conference, and may announce advancements to it during this year’s event. The company had also brought models like ChatGPT for coding to Xcode. Earlier this year, the company introduced agentic coding tools like Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex to Xcode.
