Apple’s WWDC 2026 keynote will be held on Monday, June 8, at 10 a.m. PT (6:00 p.m. WAT). If you have ever skipped an Apple software event because it felt like a routine update show, this is the year to pay attention.
Two things make this year’s Apple WWDC different from any keynote in the past decade. One, it is Tim Cook’s last keynote as Apple CEO. He announced in April that he would step down on September 1, with John Ternus taking the top job. Second, Apple has a lot to prove in AI. The company promised a smarter, more personal Siri back in 2024, advertised it heavily alongside the iPhone 16, and then repeatedly delayed it, resulting in a $250 million settlement. WWDC 2026 is where Apple has to show the rebuild is done.
Here is everything you can expect to see.
