All eyes are on Cupertino as Apple gets ready to kick off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 9. The five-day event, held at the company’s Apple Park headquarters in California, begins with a keynote address from CEO Tim Cook at 10 a.m. PT (that’s 10:30 p.m. IST for viewers in India). As always, Apple’s made sure the world can tune in, with the keynote streaming live on its official website, YouTube channel, Developer app, and Apple TV app.
Now, if you’re waiting on flashy new hardware—don’t hold your breath. This year’s WWDC seems to be more about refining the software that powers Apple’s ecosystem. Expect deep dives into updates across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. The big theme? Artificial intelligence. Apple’s been a bit behind in the AI race, and it’s widely expected they’ll use this event to push forward their "Apple Intelligence" vision—something they teased back in 2024. Whether it lives up to the hype? We'll soon find out.
Once the keynote wraps up, the Platforms State of the Union session will kick off at 1 p.m. PT (1:30 a.m. IST), where Apple plans to unpack the technical nuts and bolts of the upcoming software changes. This session usually flies under the radar for casual viewers, but for developers, it’s where the real meat is.
Over the course of the week, Apple will run more than 100 technical sessions, offering developers a closer look at new tools, frameworks, and design principles. Participants in the Apple Developer and Enterprise programs will also have the chance to connect directly with Apple engineers through online labs and one-on-one consultations—a rare and valuable opportunity.
And it’s not all business. The company will also welcome winners of the Swift Student Challenge to Apple Park. Fifty standout young developers have been invited to experience the heart of Apple HQ for three days, an initiative that continues to spotlight fresh talent in the coding world.
In short, WWDC 2025 might not bring new gadgets, but it’s shaping up to be a pivotal moment in Apple’s evolving software and AI strategy.
