WWDC 2025
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference took place June 9–13, 2025.

WWDC 2025 Overview
Apple's 36th annual Worldwide Developers Conference began on Monday, June 9, 2025, and ended on Friday, June 13. Apple kicked things off with a keynote event on Monday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
WWDC 2025 featured online sessions and labs so that developers worldwide could learn about the new software features and how to incorporate those features into their apps. Both the keynote and the online sessions were available on the Apple Developer app, Apple website, and YouTube. WWDC has been a free, online event since 2020, and the format allows developers in many countries to interface with Apple engineers for app help.
While WWDC 2025 is an online event, Apple included a special in-person component for select developers, students, and members of the media. The in-person WWDC event took place on June 9 at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California. Invited attendees were able to watch the keynote and Platforms State of the Union at Apple Park, as well as meet with Apple employees. Current Apple Developer Program members, Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni, prior Swift Student Challenge winners, and current Apple Developer Enterprise Program members were able to enter to attend the June 9 Apple Park event, and Apple selected participants through a random lottery.
WWDC provides developers and Apple customers with a first look at new versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Developers can attend engineering sessions, one-on-one labs, and participate in Apple Developer Forums, all with the aim of learning how to integrate new OS features into their apps. Apple's Developer app serves as a one-stop hub for everything new that debuts at WWDC.
Every year, WWDC begins with a keynote event where Apple walks through all of the new software features and sometimes unveils new hardware. This year, we saw iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26 Tahoe, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26.
As always, Apple streamed the WWDC keynote on Apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple Developer website, the Apple TV, and YouTube.
If you weren't able to watch the Keynote Live, we offered a text-and-photo livestream on MacRumors.com and on the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.
