- Apple's WWDC 2025 developer conference begins today.
- CEO Tim Cook is expected to kick things off with a pre-recorded 1 p.m. ET keynote.
- Apple's design language for its iPhone software, which is rumored to be called iOS 26, is expected to get an overhaul.
Employees at Apple's "spaceship" campus in Cupertino, California, are preparing to welcome crowds of developers, students, and press for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
The software-focused event, WWDC 2025, is typically when Apple shows off its coming version of Mac as well as iOS, which this year is rumored to be called "iOS 26" in a major naming overhaul. The design language of the update is also expected to look different.
Wall Street analysts say the keynote could be a "critical opportunity" for Apple to reassure investors and fans that it can stay competitive on AI. Last year, Apple unveiled its AI software suite, Apple Intelligence, which has suffered setbacks and delays. We might get some updates on Apple's AI plans — and there's always the chance Apple shows off some surprises too.
The event kicks off with a pre-recorded keynote helmed by CEO Tim Cook at 1 p.m. ET. Follow along for the latest below:
