Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to host his final Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, marking a significant milestone for the outgoing leader. On Monday, June 8, at 10 am PT (1 pm Eastern), Cook will take the stage to announce new software features for Siri, iOS, and Apple's artificial intelligence efforts. The keynote address will be livestreamed on Apple's WWDC website, YouTube, and the Apple TV app.

For those looking to stay up-to-date on the latest announcements, WIRED will be running a live blog, providing a drip feed of updates as they happen. Additionally, we'll have comprehensive roundups of the changes coming to iOS, MacOS, and other Apple products. As is customary for WWDC events, rumors have been swirling about Apple's upcoming announcements.

One thing is certain: Apple will unveil new software operating systems for its products, likely bearing the OS 27 moniker. This means we can expect iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and more. According to reports, Apple is focusing on boosting performance across its operating systems, prioritizing fixes and stability over major new features.

Apple's AI efforts, branded as Apple Intelligence, are also expected to take center stage. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple may introduce AI-powered features that enable users to create digital passes for events and split bills by taking a picture of receipts. Furthermore, Apple's virtual assistant, Siri, is due for a significant update, courtesy of a partnership with Google to infuse Siri with its Gemini AI.

The partnership between Apple and Google, announced in January, promises a more personalized Siri experience. With WWDC approaching, it's likely that we'll see the fruits of this collaboration. For now, everyone is eagerly awaiting the big Siri upgrade that could finally make the virtual assistant more useful and less frustrating.

As the keynote address approaches, anticipation is building. With Apple's focus on subscription services and AI-driven features, it's clear that Cook's final WWDC keynote will be a significant event. Stay tuned for live updates and in-depth analysis of Apple's latest announcements.
