Apple is set to hold its annual summer software event, WWDC, next week at its Apple Park HQ in Cupertino, California. The company has already revealed the lineup for its developer conference, which is scheduled to take place from June 9 to June 13.
This year’s WWDC promises to be exciting, with Apple traditionally unveiling major software updates, including the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, and WatchOS. While it’s unclear whether iOS 19 will arrive this year or later in September, WWDC will provide insight into new features and potential design overhauls.
According to rumors, Apple may drop its traditional number-based system for its operating systems, instead opting for a more modern naming convention like the upcoming iOS 26. The company has also hinted at advancements in Apple Intelligence, which could impact AI-powered tools across its platforms.
During WWDC, attendees can expect to see updates on:
* iOS 19 and other software updates
* New design elements and menus
* Progress in AI technology
* Potential hardware announcements (though this is unlikely)
The online event will be free for developers, while those who attend the June 9 event at Apple Park must apply in advance. Sessions will include a deeper dive into new tools and features, allowing attendees to ensure their apps are compatible with upcoming changes.
WWDC has become an eagerly anticipated event for both developers and tech enthusiasts. This year’s conference promises to deliver significant updates on what’s next for Apple’s platforms.
