Apple has officially announced the dates for its Worldwide Developers Conference: June 8 to 12, starting with a special event at Apple Park on Monday, June 8.
As is customary, Apple will talk about its software platforms, which most likely includes the next version of Apple’s mobile platform, iOS 27, as well as new versions of macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS.
In a news post accompanying the announcement, Apple said it will spotlight “incredible updates for Apple platforms, including AI advancements.”
While artificial intelligence is a ubiquitous topic for tech companies these days, it’s a particularly important one for Apple, which has been very slow to launch an improved version of Siri.

In particular, Apple’s revamped Siri (Siri 2.0, if you will) should come with onscreen awareness, personal context, and be more deeply integrated with apps. We might also see a version of Siri that has chatbot capabilities similar to the ones in OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude.
As for the rest of WWDC, Apple says the conference will have more than 100 video sessions and interactive group labs and appointments. Developers who would like to attend the event in person can apply here until March 30. Not everyone gets to go; instead, Apple will randomly select the winning tickets and notify the winners on April 2.
