Apple today announced a more detailed schedule for its annual developers conference WWDC, which runs from June 9 through June 13. The schedule confirms that Apple's keynote will begin on Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with a live stream to be available on Apple.com, in the Apple TV app, and on YouTube.

During the keynote, Apple is expected to announce iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, visionOS 3, and other software updates, along with new Apple Intelligence features. In some years, there are also hardware announcements at WWDC, but there has yet to be any rumors about new devices being unveiled at this year's conference.

Apple has reminded developers that WWDC 2025 is "on the horizon" on its developer news page, where developers can now register for group labs.

The keynote will be followed by the Platforms State of the Union video on June 9 at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. This video will provide a deeper dive into the latest features and tools for developers across Apple's software platforms. Apple says the video will be available to stream via the Apple Developer website, app, and YouTube channel.

Both the keynote and the Platforms State of the Union will be available for on-demand playback after each live stream concludes.

In the past, the WWDC schedule included an in-person Apple Design Awards event, but Apple moved to pre-announcing the winning apps last year.

WWDC 2025 will primarily take place online, with more than a hundred videos to be shared across the Apple Developer website, Apple Developer app, and YouTube for free. There will also be an in-person component, as more than 1,000 developers and students have been invited to attend a special day at Apple Park on June 9 to watch the keynote video together, meet some of Apple's teams, socialize, and more.

The opening keynote will be followed by the Platforms State of the Union on June 9 at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

As has been the case since 2020, WWDC 2025 will primarily be online, with more than a hundred videos to be shared across the Apple Developer website and the Apple Developer app for free. There will also be an in-person component, as developers and students who won a lottery have been invited to attend a special day at Apple Park on June 9 to watch the keynote video together, meet some of Apple's teams, socialize, and more.

So this logo basically confirms we getting the frost glass redesign of the UI… pretty interesting can’t wait to see how it looks! To be honest here that gradient bleed color of the text looks very nice.
 
Meh, the Mac Pro like I gave up on because Apple does not seem to care about pro users like they did a decade or so ago
While I agree to some extent, I disagree in regards to Pro hardware.

The M Max and Ultra were a huge leap forward for Apple's Pro users. The Mac Studio proves that there is little need for the Mac Pro these days. Not saying there aren't people who need or would want a Mac Pro, just that the Mac Studio and even the MacBook Pro meet most Pro needs.

I consider myself a Pro user who uses After Effects and Photoshop daily while also using Final Cut Pro periodically and my 2021 M1 Max MBP has been suiting my needs just fine. For me, Apple has been meeting my Pro needs.
 
WWDC used to be interesting, because it usually announced what what coming in September.

Now, Apple announces what they plan to release 6-12 months from now, with the better stuff coming in the 9-12 month range. Some things will even get canceled or reduced. WWDC now just seems to be a hype event designed to keep people thinking that Apple is keeping up with its competitors. I wished they only give a 4 month look ahead, and actually deliver what they put out there.

So, I'm not going to even bother watching. I'll wait to see features that are actually when they are in Beta. Then we can be pretty sure those features are coming, and coming in a timely manner.

Apple really lost my trust in Apple software announcements when they heavily advertised iphone 16 for AI, then canceled a lot of the AI stuff, then finally allowed iphone 15 to run their AI. This was messed up on many levels.
 
well that logo certainly points to the new visual redesign using VisionOS as inspiration.
I really like it. As long as it looks good in dark mode.

I hope the developer videos are more interesting this year. They used to have more theoretical presentations, like Dave Abraham's Crusty/POP talk, but lately its all been practical stuff.

Whenever I watch the September event or WWDC, my wife says I'm just watching an hour long ad. I really miss the actual conference presentation style from before the pandemic.

No question that their hardware has improved for sure, but the software side of it Apple has lost its focus I feel
 
I know WWDC is literally a developer’s conference but the only thing worth looking forward to this year (to me, a not-developer) is what they name the next MacOS.
 
"Dub Dub" (how I hate it when tech YouTubers call it that like it's a thing) is probably the least interesting of the many annual Apple events. I didn't used to feel that way, but the increasing gulf between what's announced and what's released (both in terms of the delay between the announcements and the releases and the unfulfilled promises) has me less attuned to it. I still find the release of new products exciting, but the announcement of new software features that may never come is difficult to get excited about. I do look forward to the improvement of Siri, but Apple is clearly nowhere near achieving that. At the very least, I hope this year we do not see any useless "concept videos" that show off tech that even Apple has not been able to see functioning properly yet.

I don't know about "many annual Apple events." There's WWDC in June, the iPhone intro in September, and occasionally an October event. I wouldn't call 2-3 many, but I take your point. Unless you're a developer, WWDC really doesn't seem as interesting as they used to.

While I always hated the demo's at live events because of how cringe they always are; it did mean that Apple had to have the tech working in order to demonstrate it. I do like that aspect. We knew that we were either going to get it right away, or maybe with the first update. The tech was obviously far enough along to demo.

I’m looking for features that will be delivered within the communicated timeframe. I also don’t want Apple to remain passive while other companies drive innovation forward.

The Mac Pro machine, maybe. But pro users? Not really. The studio is an excellent machine for people that need power. Not so much for tinkerers, but they’re not pros necessarily, in fact I don’t know any pros that tinker. They need stable machines. Besides, I think that was all put to bed with the advent of Apple silicon and its integrated way.
 
Be very interesting to see what features they actually announce in light of the Siri and Apple Intelligence mess they have created for themselves.
