Developers can install the update and test their apps on the new versions. A public beta usually follows in July, which is more reliable for use by enthusiasts. Apple releases the major new versions to the general public in the fall, in September or October. Some features announced at WWDC may not be available until later in the software update cycle. Delayed features roll out in smaller software updates, in the winter or the following spring.\r\n

      WWDC25 date<\/h2>\r\nWWDC begins on Monday, June 9, 2025<\/a>, with Apple\u2019s live-streamed keynote likely beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific time.\r\n\r\nApple's developer conferences will kick off with a live-streamed event during which CEO Tim Cook<\/a>, software chief Craig Federighi<\/a> and other executives take to the stage of Apple Park<\/a>\u2019s Steve Jobs Theater to give the world their first glimpse of future software updates.\r\n\r\nIn the afternoon, the Platforms State of the Union explains how developers can use the new features in their apps, along with new features in the Swift<\/a> programing language itself. Finally, Alan Dye, Apple's vice president of design, will cap off WWDC25's opening day by announcing the winners of the Apple Design Awards<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIn the week that follows, Apple will publish developer session videos every morning. These in-depth videos will explain how to implement new features and use new APIs, with example code and projects. Anyone can watch throughout the week via the Apple Developer app<\/a>, the Apple Developer website<\/a> and the Apple Developer YouTube channel<\/a>.\r\n

      WWDC25 keynote<\/h2>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_779652\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"780\"]\"Tim<\/a> CEO Tim Cook and SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi take the stage at WWDC22.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe WWDC25 keynote is the biggest event of the week \u2014 and one of Apple\u2019s biggest events of the year. Apple will introduce the new features coming in iOS and iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, visionOS 3 and tvOS 19. It undoubtedly starts at 10 a.m. Pacific time on June 9, 2025.\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to watch the keynote is to go to apple.com<\/a>. Come Monday morning, the live stream should take over the homepage. Later, it\u2019ll move to apple.com\/apple-events\/<\/a>, where you can always go to rewatch old presentations. There, you\u2019ll also see a link to Apple Event videos on Apple Podcasts<\/a> \u2014 a convenient way to rewatch (and download) every Apple Event since January 2007.\r\n\r\nAnother convenient way to watch the keynote is on YouTube. The YouTube live stream is the most accessible across any device and platform.\r\n\r\nThe best way to watch the Apple event on your TV is in the Apple TV app. The Apple TV app isn\u2019t just for Apple TV set-top boxes<\/a>. Any modern smart TV made by Samsung, LG, Vizio, Panasonic, Sony (or any TV running Google TV software) comes with it built in. You can download the app on your Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick, PlayStation or Xbox if you own any of those. Here\u2019s the full list of compatible TVs<\/a> and game consoles<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re a registered developer who won the random lottery, a winner of the Swift Student Challenge<\/a>, an engineer at a big enough company to get an invitation, or a selected member of the press, you\u2019ll watch the keynote at Apple Park<\/a>.\r\n

      WWDC25 rumors<\/h2>\r\n

      New system design<\/h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_819594\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"780\"]\"UI<\/a> iOS and macOS may be redesigned to resemble visionOS.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe biggest rumor surrounding Apple\u2019s software updates this year is that they\u2019ll all be massively redesigned<\/a>. Inspired by the translucency, gradients and glass materials of visionOS<\/a>, Apple reportedly will refresh iOS, iPadOS and macOS with a new, unified look. The new design might even change how the basic user interface elements work, making them easier to use and navigate.\r\n

      AirPods live translation<\/h3>\r\nAirPods may also get advanced new features this year. Rumors indicate live translation will be coming to the smart wireless earbuds<\/a>. This feature would leverage the Apple Translate app<\/a>, which already provides translation services in Live Text<\/a>, Safari<\/a>, visual intelligence<\/a> and in third-party apps. Users would allegedly be able to hear translations of a conversation in another language in their ears, with their words translated and playing out of their iPhone speakers.\r\n

      New Apple Intelligence features<\/h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_866969\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"960\"]\"Animation<\/a> Apple Intelligence is a powerful LLM that runs both in the cloud and on-device.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nApple Intelligence<\/a> will play a smaller role in WWDC25. After a big year-long rollout of features, Apple likely has not had the time to develop many additional upgrades. After Apple failed to ship<\/a> its much overdue upgrade to Siri, new management has taken charge<\/a> of the project. With only a few months until the event, it\u2019s not likely that Apple will show off any new Siri features.\r\n

      WWDC25 hardware rumors<\/h3>\r\nIn terms of hardware announcements, Apple may debut a new Mac Pro at WWDC25<\/a>. The top-end Mac tower still comes with an old M2 Ultra chip, which the Mac Studio was recently updated from<\/a>. Rumors indicate a new Mac Pro is coming in the second half of 2025, which lines up with a WWDC announcement.\r\n\r\nApple has allegedly delayed the introduction of its new smart home display<\/a> beyond WWDC. The brand-new product relies heavily on the aforementioned new Siri features, so the company will not introduce it until the software is ready.\r\n

      WWDC25 Swift Student Challenge<\/h2>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_898939\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"780\"]\"meet<\/a> From left, Marina Lee, Taiki Hamamoto, Luciana Ortiz Nolasco and Nahom Worku are four of this year\u2019s Swift Student Challenge winners.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Swift Student Challenge<\/a> is an annual coding competition for young developers. Using Swift, the same language developers use to create apps for Apple platforms, applicants create and submit demo apps. Apple encourages participants to use \u201ctheir creativity to develop apps to solve real-world problems,\u201d according to the official site.\r\n\r\nIt is open to recent high school graduates and current STEM students across the world.\r\n\r\nApple has chosen the 350 winners of the 2025 Swift Student Challenge, \u201cwhose submissions demonstrate excellence in innovation, creativity, social impact, or inclusivity.\u201d <\/span>Of those, Apple has invited 50 Distinguished Winners to attend WWDC25 in-person at Apple Park. <\/span>\r\n\r\nApple profiled the top four submissions<\/a>, whose work aims to\u00a0preserve cultural heritage, improve disaster preparedness, connect astronomy enthusiasts and expand educational access.<\/span>\r\n
