Apple’s annual developer conference will span June 8 through June 12, including a main keynote on the opening date.
The company is teasing “AI advancements and exciting new software and developer tools” will be revealed during WWDC 2026.
WWDC 2026 could give us our first look at how Google AI models will power Apple Intelligence features, following a joint partnership announced in January.
All our focus is on Google I/O 2026, but on the eve of Google’s annual developer conference, Apple announced the date of its own. The company’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) for 2026 kicks off June 8 and will conclude June 12. The catchphrase for WWDC 2026 is “Coming bright up,” paired with a glowing render of its Apple Park render and a light-refracting logo of Swift, its programming language. The developer-focused event will serve as the first official look at Apple’s next operating system updates, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27.
The main WWDC 2026 keynote begins June 8 at 10 AM ET / 1 PM PT, with in-person festivities occurring at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. The event will also be live-streamed on YouTube, Apple’s website, and the Apple TV app. It’s unclear whether this year’s WWDC keynote will have a “live” component — recent Apple events have been pre-recorded, even for in-person audiences.
