Apple WWDC 2025: Everything You Need to Know Before the Keynote
Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 is right around the corner, kicking off on June 9 with its annual keynote. This year’s event is highly anticipated as Apple is expected to unveil major updates to its software ecosystem, including iOS 26, macOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 12, and visionOS 2. Here’s everything you need to know before the big day.
When and Where to Watch WWDC 2025
The WWDC 2025 keynote will be streamed live on Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. PT via Apple.com, YouTube, and the Apple TV app. Like previous years, the event will be entirely virtual, offering free access to developers and fans worldwide.
What to Expect: iOS 26 and AI Features
The biggest reveal is expected to be iOS 26, which may include a complete design refresh inspired by visionOS, along with new AI-powered features branded as “Apple Intelligence.” These could include smarter Siri responses, auto-generated Shortcuts, and real-time language translation in AirPods.
macOS 26 “Tahoe” and iPadOS 26 Updates
macOS 26 is rumored to be named “Tahoe” and may adopt a new visual design with transparent elements. It’s expected to bring improved multitasking, app grouping, and privacy tools. iPadOS 26 may introduce windowed multitasking similar to macOS, making iPads even more like laptops.
watchOS 12 and Health Advancements
Apple Watch users might see new health tracking tools in watchOS 12, including blood pressure trend detection, mental wellness features, and more accurate sleep tracking. Fitness rings may also gain social upgrades.
visionOS 2 for Apple Vision Pro
visionOS 2 is expected to enable more multitasking capabilities for Vision Pro users, such as multiple floating windows, split-screen modes, and support for third-party app development.
No New Hardware Expected
While WWDC is typically software-focused, fans hoping for new hardware may be disappointed. Apple is not expected to reveal new iPhones or MacBooks during this event. However, an M4 MacBook Air and Vision Pro updates may come later this year.
Why It Matters
Even if you’re not a developer, WWDC 2025 gives you a glimpse into the future of Apple products. From AI upgrades to design improvements and health innovations, the announcements could shape how you use your iPhone, Mac, or Apple Watch for years to come.
