Apple’s annual software event, the Worldwide Developer Conference, is back. The WWDC26 keynote will begin at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern, and 6 pm British Summer Time.
This is a livestreamed event, and you can watch it on this page or open the video feed in a separate tab; Apple is streaming the video on its developer website and YouTube channel.
WWDC is Apple’s annual conference for software developers. During the keynote, the company will announce all of the changes coming to the software that powers iPhones, Macs, Apple Watches, and the rest of Apple’s hardware. This year’s headline is expected to be around Siri, and the long-awaited improvements coming to Apple’s long-lived voice assistant.
Sometimes, Apple will make a surprise announcement during the WWDC keynote for a new hardware or software platform—for example, we first learned about the Apple Vision Pro during the 2023 WWDC keynote. This year, we’re only expecting software announcements, though these will likely revolve around artificial intelligence (or as Apple calls it, Apple Intelligence). You can read more about what to expect here.
Once the keynote starts, we’ll post important updates on this live blog. That includes release dates, new features, and important context to help you understand Apple’s announcements. We’ll also have analysis from our expert reporters who are either attending WWDC or watching from afar. Most of us have been covering Apple for well over a decade, so we can offer unique insights about what’s being shown during the presentation.
Our coverage will kick off around half an hour before the keynote is scheduled to start. So come back at 9:30 am PDT (12:30 pm EDT, and 5:30 pm in the UK). You’ll see the text on this page be replaced by live updates.
