WWDC is a week-long event for developers, but its first morning has become an opportunity for Apple to make major announcements for users, too. Invariably, there will be improvements to the iPhone and all of Apple’s operating systems, and this year there will be updates to Apple Intelligence.
This year’s event will start on June 9 and run until June 13. As usual, it will be a free-to-view event online, with the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union aired on the first day.
Further sessions will be available on the Apple Developer app, Apple Developer website, and Apple Developer YouTube channel throughout the week.
Apple is holding an in-person experience on June 9 at Apple Park, with developers able to watch the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union, if they manage to secure an invite. Attendees will also get to meet one-on-one with Apple experts and in group labs, and also take part in special activities.
Winners of the Swift Student Challenge will be notified of their status on March 27, and will be eligible to apply for the special event at Apple Park. Also, 50 Distinguished Winners will be invited to Apple Park for a three-day experience.
« We’re excited to mark another incredible year of WWDC with our global developer community », said Apple VP of Worldwide Developer Relations, Susan Prescott. « We can’t wait to share the latest tools and technologies that will empower developers and help them continue to innovate. »
Based on previous WWDC launches, it’s likely that WWDC 25 will feature some big announcements, especially surrounding Apple Intelligence.
It was at WWDC 2024 that Apple’s artificial intelligence plans were first revealed. Hand in hand with the new generative AI features for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, Apple also stressed its commitment to privacy with Private Cloud Compute.
That’s the feature that means even when Siri and Apple Intelligence pass user requests on to ChatGPT, that OpenAI service does not get any of the personal information it normally would. For WWDC 2025, don’t expect any feature developments to Private Cloud Compute, but do expect Apple to say it’s been a success.
Siri could be the star
Whereas, it’s close to certain that Siri will play a major part in the keynote. Of all the Apple Intelligence features that Apple has promised, the ones that are both impressive and potentially useful, have centered on Siri — and have not been delivered yet.
That’s despite one of Apple’s own adverts about Apple Intelligence that was released back in September 2024.
