Although the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is primarily designed for developers, it attracts attention from a wider audience. Apple’s announcements often touch on significant operating system enhancements that benefit all Apple users, not just those creating apps.

WWDC 2025 is just around the corner. This year’s event promises to unveil the latest iterations of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, along with fresh insights into Apple Intelligence. To stay updated on the latest Apple developments, here’s how to tune in. For real-time updates, don’t forget to check out our live blog.

How to Tune Into WWDC 2025

Even if you’re not among the lucky few attending in Cupertino at the Steve Jobs Theater, you can enjoy the event from home or wherever you have internet access. Apple plans to stream the event via its official website, and also on its YouTube channel. The video is already live for those who wish to prepare before the presentation.

Understanding WWDC

The Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, is an annual event hosted by Apple for developers. Although the conference lasts a whole week, the majority of public interest centers on the first day, which features a keynote address packed with major announcements. The latter portion of the week primarily includes technical sessions geared toward developers.

Transitioning from in-person events, Apple has continued the trend of pre-recorded sessions post-COVID. This method allows for a polished presentation, reducing the risk of live mishaps, though it does mean that viewers should keep in mind that not all features showcased may be available immediately. Last year, for instance, Apple introduced several AI features for Siri that were in earlier testing stages and have not yet launched.

WWDC 2025 Date and Time

WWDC typically happens at the beginning of June, and 2025 will stay true to this pattern. The event kicks off on Monday, June 9, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). Although Apple’s livestream will be available prior to that, the keynote presentation itself is set to start at 1 p.m.

Anticipated Announcements at WWDC

Apple is known for keeping most announcements under wraps until the event. While the company shares a few details about accessibility improvements—such as those for iOS 26 this year—most information comes from leaks and speculation leading up to the conference.

Based on prevailing rumors and leaks, there are exciting changes on the horizon. Apple is reportedly rebranding its software lineup with a uniform naming structure based on the year, meaning iOS 19 will now be iOS 26, and macOS will similarly align. Additionally, significant user interface enhancements are anticipated, aiming to harmonize the appearance across all devices.

Furthermore, new features are expected for each software update, particularly for iOS 26. Enhancements may include AI-driven battery management, a desktop mode akin to Stage Manager when connecting to external displays, and Live Translate functionality for AirPods.
