Apple’s next Worldwide Developers Conference will be held online and at its headquarters in Cupertino, California, from June 8 to June 12, the company announced Monday.
The iPhone maker said this year’s conference, which typically announces new software and features across a variety of devices, will focus on updates to platforms such as iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS, as well as “advances in AI” along with new software and developer tools.
The conference will be livestreamed 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 on its “liquid glass” interface design at WWDC, but AI was barely mentioned. This conference will probably be different. Apple is expected to launch a new Siri with advanced AI capabilities, and earlier this year it signed a deal with Google to use Gemini to power AI capabilities on its platform. This year’s WWDC may finally see an improved version of Siri, with more personal context and improved on-screen recognition.
At last year’s conference, the company announced Apple’s Foundation Model framework, which features AI models that can work offline, and may announce its progress during this year’s event. The company had also introduced models such as ChatGPT for coding in Xcode. Earlier this year, Apple brought agent coding tools like Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex to Xcode.
