Onlookers and Apple fans are hoping for updates on the company's somewhat stalled Apple Intelligence rollout, Siri's Gemini-backed future, and, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a pair of rumored AI glasses pushed back to 2027. Also: The Apple Watch needs a better Siri more than the iPhone right nowThat said, being a developer conference, WWDC is usually focused on software. Most hardware announcements, like the iPhone 18, happen at Apple's September event. We'll be reporting from the ground at Apple Park starting Monday, so be sure to follow along here for live updates on everything announced. This WWDC will also be CEO Tim Cook's last, as he winds down through September and John Ternus takes his place. Here's what we know so far about what the company is planning to reveal. How to watch WWDC 2026 The keynote address will kick off the event on June 8 at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. ET. You can stream it on YouTube, Apple's website, Apple TV, and in the Apple Developer app. ZDNET's sibling site, CNET, will also be livestreaming the event, with commentary from the team's writers and editors before and after the keynote.Latest news (refresh the page for updates) Will smart glasses be the 'one more thing'? Kerry Wan/ZDNET By Kerry Wan, Editor in Chief / June 7 at 5:15 p.m. ETMuch of the anticipation around WWDC centers on how Apple handles its AI narrative for the rest of the year, but Apple has a chance to do something even bigger tomorrow: reveal its upcoming hardware products in some way, shape, or form. Give me a teaser video, a graphic tucked in the corner of the iOS 27 bento box, or even Ternus putting on a pair of smart glasses as he leaves the stage.Also: Apple's Meta Ray-Bans killer is only one of four major launches in 2027 - here's the listWe've heard rumors for years now that the company is working on a pair of smart glasses, competing against the likes of Meta, Spectacles, and now, Google and Samsung. The Cupertino giant will eventually find itself competing similarly when it releases a foldable iPhone. But there's one advantage that Apple has, and I hope it leans heavily into it leading up to September: developers.While competitors have set the stage for foldables and smart glasses, they're still mostly lacking a quality app ecosystem. Apple, on the other hand, can leverage WWDC as the opportunity to get developers excited, excited enough to build intuitive, thoughtful, and convincing software around these newer form factors. You've got the framework already with iOS, iPadOS, and VisionOS.
