Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicks off on June 10, and alongside the usual upgrades to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, we expect Apple to finally show us what it’s been working on regarding AI.
We’ll also see next-gen versions of watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS; all of them might get AI capabilities. And look for announcements about Apple’s digital services: Apple Music, Apple News, Apple TV+, iCloud, and more. Here’s everything you need to know.How to Watch the WWDC Keynote
The event will take place online and in-person at the company’s Apple Park campus in Cupertino. The main keynote begins on Monday, June 5 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET and there are more technical sessions through June 14. Registration for the in-person event is closed, but anyone can watch remotely via the Apple Developer app, Apple website, and YouTube (above).
Similar to Microsoft Build and Google I/O, Apple’s WWDC is a developer-focused event. That said, there are some nuggets for the general public since we get a first look at the new software capabilities coming to iPhones, iPads, and Macs. After all, software is at least half the equation of all personal and professional technology offerings.Apple Needs Generative AI—Badly!

Google, Microsoft, and even Amazon have all announced or released generative AI features. Never one to quickly embrace a trend, Apple has lagged behind, though in February, CEO Tim Cook promised generative AI features « later this year.
