Apple will soon shift its attention from hardware to software. Following the recent slew of iterative upgrades to its devices, including the AirPods Max, MacBook Pro, and iPad Air, the Cupertino giant has announced the dates for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), in which it typically unveils the latest slate of software and features across its offerings.
WWDC 2026 will be held from 8 to 12 June and focus on “AI advancements,” per the company, alongside new developer tools and updates for its various operating systems. The conference is set to take place at Apple Park, but will also stream live on the Apple Developer app, the official Apple website and YouTube channel, and Bilibili in China.
Last year’s event introduced the Liquid Glass redesign that arrived with iOS 26, boasting a see-through look for elements like buttons, switches, sliders, text, widgets, and media controls, and various system experiences, including Home Screen, notifications, and more. Apple is expected to debut iOS 27, MacOS 27, iPadOS 27, WatchOS 27, VisionOS 27 and TVOS 27 during the conference, as well as a revamped Siri with advanced AI capabilities.
The WWDC 2026 news comes after the earlier announcement of Apple Business, a new one-stop enterprise suite that integrates device management, communication tools, and business service into a single platform. When it rolls out to over 200 countries in April, it will replace existing Apple Business Essentials, Apple Business Manager, and Apple Business Connect services.
