Apple has set the date for this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), with the event kicking off with an in-person experience to watch the keynote and Platforms State of the Union on June 9th at Apple Park and running through June 13th. Announcements will focus on the upcoming versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Apple reportedly has major visual design changes planned for its software platforms this year. WWDC could also see the debut of new hardware and an update on the AI-powered Siri features that were recently delayed.
The company used last year’s WWDC to introduce Apple Intelligence, showcasing still-unreleased advanced features for Siri that would allow the voice assistant to see your screen and perform actions based on what’s being displayed, integrate more deeply with your apps, and understand personal context when completing tasks.
With any luck, Apple might offer a more evolved AI strategy alongside a specific timeline at WWDC, including the rumored smart display that’s seemingly impacted by the Siri setback. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously reported that Siri’s more advanced conversational features might not arrive until iOS 20 “at best,” however, and Apple reportedly restructured the team in charge of the project, replacing John Giannandrea with Vision Pro leader Mike Rockwell.
Details around iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and the next Californication of macOS are likely to be included during WWDC 2025, which Gurman also reported could include a significantly redesigned look, updating icons, menus, and buttons to make things more consistent across Apple devices.
While we don’t know for sure what will be announced at WWDC 2025, we at least now have a date to stick in our calendars while we wait to find out.
