WWDC 2025: Everything We Know

WWDC 2025 Overview

Apple's 36th annual Worldwide Developers Conference will take place sometime in June, but the 2025 event dates have not yet been announced. We're expecting to hear more about when WWDC will take place in March or April.

As of 2020, WWDC has been a mostly online event, so developers around the world are able to attend sessions and meet with Apple engineers at no cost. Prior to 2020, Apple held WWDC at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, and tickets were priced at $1,599 with a limited number developers able to attend.

There have been no signs that Apple intends to return to an in-person format, but in 2023 and 2024, Apple held an all-day special event for select developers and students at its Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, and we are expecting a similar event this year.

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.

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 are expecting to see iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, tvOS 19, watchOS 12, and visionOS 3. There is a possibility we could see new Macs, including the Mac Studio.

Apple always streams the WWDC keynote on Apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple Developer website, the Apple TV, and YouTube.

Software Announcements

Software is the main focus of WWDC, and 2025 rumors suggest that iOS 19 will introduce some app design changes and add more functionality to Siri.

We don't know a lot about what's coming yet, but there are a few tidbits that have come out.

iOS 19 and iPadOS 19

iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 will "fundamentally change" the look of the operating system, introducing a more consistent cross-platform experience.

Apple will update the style of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons, with plans to simplify navigation and control. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman described the design change as the biggest update to iOS since iOS 7.

Apple is loosely basing the new design on the Apple Vision Pro interface, which features round app icons with a lot of translucency for menus and other interface elements.

macOS 16

Like iOS 19 and iPadOS 19, macOS 16 will include an overhauled design with a new look for icons, menus, apps, and more. The new design will bring more consistency between macOS and iOS.

Hardware Updates

There are no rumors of hardware updates at this point in time, but Apple has unveiled new Macs at WWDC in the past.

WWDC Date Possibilities

Apple typically holds WWDC during the first two weeks of June, though the company tends to choose the first week more often than not. Last year, WWDC was the second week of June, so this year is a toss up.

June 2 to June 6 is a solid possibility, but June 9 to June 13 is also just as likely. Past WWDC dates:

2024 - June 10 to June 14
2023 - June 5 to June 9
2022 - June 6 to June 10
2021 - June 7 to June 11
2020 - June 22 to June 26
2019 - June 3 to June 7
2018 - June 4 to June 8
2017 - June 5 to June 9
2016 - June 12 to June 17
2015 - June 8 to June 12
2014 - June 2 to June 6

Apple will likely unveil the WWDC 2025 dates at the end of March or the beginning of April.
