It’s conference season\! Today, we’re back at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, for Apple’s annual developer keynote\. Unlike other conferences, there’s a distinct rhythm to WWDC\. We know we’re going to get a peek at everything coming to iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27 — basically all the “Class of ’27” operating systems\. As for what those updates will entail? Given the “All Systems Glow” tagline, probably a lot of Apple Intelligence\. After all, in the lead\-up to the event, the rumor mill has been buzzing that we may see Apple take another run at an AI Siri\.
The pressure is particularly high this year\. This will be Tim Cook’s final WWDC as CEO before handing over the reins to John Ternus, so everyone will be hungry for any hint of what the forthcoming era will look like\. Will we see Liquid Glass refinements? Perhaps iOS 27 updates that nod at a foldable iPhone? A video featuring Craig Federighi’s hair? \(We’re most confident about that last one\.\)
One thing we’re not expecting is new hardware — though you can’t fully rule out a surprise M5 refresh\. However, Apple’s already had several launches this year, including the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, and[AirTag 2](https://www.theverge.com/tech/875314/airtags-second-gen-review-item-tracker)\. Plus there are RAM shortages to consider, and the company tends to save its core product launches for its September event\.
The keynote will kick off at 10AM PT / 1PM ET\. You can watch and follow along here for minute\-by\-minute updates\.
