Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is back June 8-12, and the tech world is buzzing with anticipation. Onlookers and Apple fans are hoping for updates on the company's somewhat stalled Apple Intelligence rollout, Siri's Gemini-backed future, and a pair of rumored AI glasses pushed back to 2027. The keynote address will kick off the event on June 8 at 10 a.m.
PST/1 p.m. ET, and can be streamed on YouTube, Apple's website, Apple TV, and in the Apple Developer app. This WWDC will also be CEO Tim Cook's last, as he winds down through September and John Ternus takes his place.
Much of the anticipation around WWDC centers on how Apple handles its AI narrative for the rest of the year, but Apple has a chance to do something even bigger: reveal its upcoming hardware products in some way, shape, or form. The company has been working on a pair of smart glasses, competing against the likes of Meta, Spectacles, and now, Google and Samsung. A revamped Siri, backed by a partnership with Google's Gemini assistant, is finally expected to land on Monday.
The new Siri would function more like a full AI agent, able to assess what's on your screen and use it as context for your queries. WWDC will also give us a look at the new operating systems coming in the fall, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, MacOS 27, TVOS 27, WatchOS 27, and VisionOS 27. These new operating systems are expected to come with some new AI features, including natural language updates that let you tell Apple Intelligence to intuitively run tasks for you, like creating shortcuts.
Apple may also release a high-end line of 'Ultra' devices this year, balancing out the company's new budget Neo laptop.
