Apple Readies WWDC Stream on YouTube Ahead of Keynote Next Week

[MacRumors]

WWDC 2025 will kick off with Apple's keynote on Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, and the page where the presentation will be live streamed is now available on YouTube. On the page, you can set a reminder to be notified before the keynote begins.

Apple will announce its latest software updates, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26, which are all rumored to feature a sleek new glass-like design. There might not be any hardware announcements, however, as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that Apple has no major new devices ready to ship.

Apple has also readied its stream for the Platforms State of the Union, which will provide more details about the new features and tools for developers that are announced during the keynote. This video will begin on June 9 at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

The keynote and Platforms State of the Union will also be streamed on Apple's website, and in the Apple TV app. On-demand playback will be available afterwards.

WWDC 2025 runs from June 9 through June 13. Ahead of the developer conference, Apple shared a new "Sleek peek" tagline on its website earlier today.

I wish they'd quit with the pre-recorded BS. It's so boring.

Agreed. The pre-recorded stuff feels personal. Makes it feel like they don't really care about the products they're showing you compared to when they were up on stage giving demos.

Yeah, thanks MacRumors for watching them for us!

 

[Shalev Lazarof]

Let's GO.

 

[reden]

You can thank Tim Cook for that. Just how you can thank him for the 40 variations of iPhones we have now.

pre-recorded is better. gets rid of dumb moments tbh and gets points across faster. plus it always starts on time.

I wish they'd go back to in-person demos. It feels much more real and personal, which is exactly how Apple products are supposed to be. The pre-recorded demos and cheesy Apple Park flythrough transitions had their day. But let's get back to what made Apple great. Or do they not have enough people who could pull it off anymore?

100% agree but its probably quite difficult to demo things in person that don't actually exist.

 

[Octavius8]

I expect nothing from Apple yet Apple will mange to disappoint me. Again.

 

[wonderings]

They are more showy now then they ever have been. When you go back and watch the old keynotes with Steve Jobs you really get a feel for how good he was. You wanted to listen to him and hear his thoughts and especially "one more thing". Now it seems like Apple has gone down the path of trying to be the "cool kid" and they think they are very funny and people just love them. It has had the opposite effect on me. I have been following all the keynotes since I first had a Mac back in OS 9 days and remember when OS X was first announced, the excitement and build up for that, being there on day one to get the OS X installer disc. All the subsequent events with all the amazing releases after that which were so simple, just people on a stage yet I would watch the whole thing. The pre-recorded stuff is just boring and I scrub through and watch at my own pace as it does not feel like a live event that I want to be there for.

 

[Rayansb]

The last several ones have been consistently lackluster and disappointing. No reason to be hopeful this will be any different. I know it's a tired cliche but damn it do I miss stevenotes! Popcorn worthy events!

 

[WarmWinterHat]

Meh, I'll read the highlights on here the next day. Couldn't be less excited if I tried.

 

[wonderings]

I normally read some things a day or two after then scrub through and watch a bit about that. But I agree, there has been nothing really wow for a long time. I can only be wowed by emojis so many times!

 

[Naraxus]

pre-recorded is better. gets rid of dumb moments tbh and gets points across faster. plus it always starts on time.

And that right there is the issue - it allows for the editing out of mistakes etc.

Go back and look at all of the keynotes with Jobs. There's mistakes (Rokr demo), flubs (the clicker not working & Jobs telling a story of Wozniak), Schiller leaping 30ft down holding an iBook. Those keynotes had charm, spontaneity and were generally fun to watch.

Today's keynote videos are more akin to watching a boilerplate list getting checked off.

 

[germanbeer007]

why would I want to see mistakes? it's cringeworthy and generates useless headlines like Craig Federighi failing to unlock his iPhone with his face.

Go back and look at all of the keynotes with Jobs.

Watching jobs figuring out why the internet isn't working on a revolutionary device was a distraction, not really fun to watch actually.

Today's keynote videos are more akin to watching a boilerplate list getting checked off.

Plenty of enjoyable craig memes were spawned because of pre-recording.

 

[needsomecoffee]

For likely the first time, I will not watch. Just wait for the video summaries. FWIW I find the high-level of coaching re: speech patterns and movements to be upsetting. Seeing everyone using similar hand gestures and phrasing seems just sorta weird... very much like cult leaders. Tim's Apple has crushed -- imho -- idivuduality and creativity in the name of branding (shareholder value). Flame away if you think I am wrong. Just an opinion. But... I likely will not watch for the first time since Steve gave the first keynote available via the Tubes. NSC.

A few memorable moments from live Apple events:
2017 - AirPower announced but was never released to the public even after almost 8 years later
2018 - redemption through iOS 12 after a buggy iOS 11 release
2019 - the audience reaction at the price of the Pro stand

A few memorable moments from pre-recorded Apple events:
Craig got his nickname Hair Force One
2020 - 5G, 5G, 5G
2024 - Apple intelligence which never lived to the hype. Overpromised but underdelivered.

 

[Jashar7]

I wish they'd quit with the pre-recorded BS. It's so boring.

The visuals and the editing are phenomenal tho but still i can see why people would love like the back on the day live presentations.

 

[Plutonius]

I have no interest in the stream.

I'll wait until its summarized on MacRumors and I can complain in the forum thread .

 

[garranhado]

2025 it’s a great time for Tim to leave the company.

 

[Ghengis LeMond]

The style of the prerecorded, personal distancing, Apple infomercial reeks of pandemic era chic……probably appropriate as the last 4 years have witnessed the company standing still.

 

[PilotTiny]

The pre recored keynotes are fine, however that's the problem.

Fine is not good enough. It's great to cover everything in fancy transitions and animations. Makes it look more showy.

However you have to ask. if last years WWDC was a live keynote, would Apple intelligence be such a problem? I mean if the keynote was live, they would have had to make sure to have a running demo of all features. Just a thought.

It just feels to me like Apple has become lazy because of the pre recored videos. To me they just feel clinical and Corporate. Not personal, engaging and human.

Some may disagree with me, it feels like Apple thinks it has become too big to fail.

 

[Leon Nash]

However you have to ask. if last years WWDC was a live keynote, would Apple intelligence be such a problem? I mean if the keynote was live, they would have had to make sure to have a running demo of all features. Just a thought.

That is a very good point.

 

[BigBlur]

I mean if the keynote was live, they would have had to make sure to have a running demo of all features. Just a thought.

They still wouldn't need an actual working version if they were to do it live. They could mock up an app or feature to make it behave the way they want according to their script.

Say they were going to demo Visual Intelligence and add an event on a poster to the calendar. They already know what's on the poster they're going to demo with, so they could just hardcode everything and make it look like it's using AI. They're in control and know what prompts to say/do in order to give the illusion that the mockup is the actual thing.
