Apple has announced a June schedule for WWDC 2026, hinting at ‘AI progress.’

Apple has declared that its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from June 8 to June 12, both online and at its headquarters located in Cupertino, California.

The iPhone manufacturer noted that this year’s event — where it usually reveals new software and features for its various devices — will center on “AI advancements” alongside updates for platforms such as iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, as well as new software and tools for developers.

The conference will be broadcast live via the Apple Developer app, Apple’s official website, and Apple Developer’s YouTube channel. In China, the event will be streamed on the Apple Developer Bilibili channel.

Last year, Apple emphasized WWDC on its “Liquid Glass” interface design, with AI receiving limited attention. This year’s conference is expected to be different. Apple is anticipated to unveil a new Siri equipped with advanced AI features and earlier this year struck a deal with Google to utilize Gemini for AI capabilities on its platform. This year’s WWDC may showcase the updated Siri with improved personal context and on-screen awareness.

During last year’s conference, the company introduced Apple’s Foundation Model framework featuring AI models capable of functioning offline and may reveal enhancements to it at this year’s event. The company also introduced models such as ChatGPT for coding within Xcode. Earlier this year, Apple added agentic coding tools like Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex to Xcode.
