Apple reveals the official lineup for WWDC 2026 developer conference

Apple's WWDC 2026 annual developer conference will start on June 8 with the Keynote stream at 10 am PT.

It's been almost two months since Apple announced the official dates for WWDC 2026 (aka dub dub), the latest iteration of its annual developer event. We already know that WWDC 2026 will kick off on June 8 and run for five days through June 12.

Apple made a new announcement to reveal the official lineup for WWDC 2026. The official Apple Keynote on June 8 will be livestreamed at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm GMT / 10:30 pm IST / 3:00 am AET (June 9). You'll be able to catch the livestream on Apple.com, Apple TV app, and Apple YouTube channel.

Continuing its decade-old tradition, Apple is expected to talk about the new software updates coming to different platforms, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27. It's been years since Apple fans have been waiting for an upgraded Siri. Hopefully, Apple might share some positive news this time.

Interestingly, Apple entered a multi-year deal with Google to power an upcoming version of Siri and Apple Foundation Models. The company knocked on OpenAI's door in the past to fulfill its AI dream, but things didn't go as planned, and OpenAI is now planning to sue Apple.

Following the main keynote, Apple will stream the "Platforms State of the Union" to explore new features, APIs, and technologies in detail for developers. Starting at 1:00 pm PT, the Platforms State of the Union will be streamed on the Apple Developer app, website, YouTube channel, and bilibili account.

During the five-day event, developers and students can watch over 100 new video sessions and take part in Group Labs to interact with Apple engineers, among various activities. Apple said it will invite more than 1,000 developers, designers, and students to Apple Park for an in-person experience.

The company has invited 50 Distinguished Winners from this year's Swift Challenge for a special three-day experience during the WWDC week. Apple recently showcased some cool app ideas presented by student developers during the challenge.

Speaking of tech events, Google is about to kick off Google I/O 2026 on May 19. You can read our detailed piece to know about the livestream schedule for its official keynotes.
