We have high expectations for this year’s event.
The calendar has flipped to June, which means Apple is about to hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. It’s a week-long affair that typically focuses on what’s going to happen in the company’s software and operating systems departments. While things will happen in Cupertino from June 8 to 12, the reveals will mainly take place on this first day. The WWDC 2026 keynote is scheduled for Monday, June 8 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, and it’s shaping up to be an event to watch.
For starters, this will likely be longtime CEO Tim Cook’s final speech before John Ternus assumes the title in September. It’s reasonable to assume that the company’s outgoing leader will say some heartfelt words about Apple at some point during the debates.
In terms of technology, Apple has sworn loud and clear that it will be ready to unveil big advances around artificial intelligence at this year’s conference. We’ve been promised the new AI-powered model of Siri, which will be tightly integrated with Apple’s operating systems. After so many months of rumors and delays, it seems like the time has come for Apple to take bold action.
All in all, 2026 is shaping up to be a banner time to follow the WWDC action as it unfolds. If you want to watch the keynote, Apple will have a live stream of the event available on its own website as well as its YouTube channel. The company also broadcasts the keynote speech on its Bilibili channel for Chinese viewers. Once the YouTube stream is live, this video will be embedded right here in this article. And as usual, our team will be live blogging all announcements as they happen and sharing their spontaneous reactions to the news.
