• iOS 27
• iPadOS 27
• macOS 27
• watchOS 27
• visionOS 27
• tvOS 27

Apart from these, the key focus is expected to move towards AI, especially the refined Siri, smarter suggestions and better integration of Apple Intelligence across the Apple ecosystem. Over the years, WWDC has become the place where Apple shows its software roadmap for the coming months. Developers usually get access to the first beta versions right after the keynote.

When will you get these updates?

While everything gets announced in June, the rollout follows a familiar pattern. Developer beta usually rolls out right after the keynote, while the public beta comes around July. And the final and stable rollout of the updates is expected to reach everyone around September (alongside new iPhones). So while you’ll see the features early, most of you will get them later in the year. If you’re an iPhone or Mac user, this is one keynote worth keeping an eye on.

Where can you watch it? Apple has confirmed that the conference will take place on the Apple Developer app, website, and YouTube channel.
