                       WWDC 2026 Scheduled for June 8-12

   Adam Engst

   Apple has announced that its [1]2026 Worldwide Developer Conference
   will take place from June 8 through June 12. It will be free and
   online, as in recent years, although Apple is once again hosting [2]a
   special event at Apple Park on the first day for a set of randomly
   selected developers and students who request to attend.

   Apple says, 'WWDC26 will spotlight incredible updates for Apple
   platforms, including AI advancements and exciting new software and
   developer tools.'

   It's a safe bet that the opening day WWDC keynote will feature most, if
   not all, of the OS 27 operating systems, as well as the latest demo
   of the 'more personalized' Siri that the company first promised in 2024
   and has since delayed repeatedly. We're looking forward to seeing
   whether any of these 'AI advancements' seem likely to affect the
   overall Apple experience in ways that Apple Intelligence has not, as
   suggested in '[3]How Siri Could Become the Mac's New Help System' (9
   February 2026).
