Apple Announces WWDC 2025 Schedule, Including Keynote Time

Tuesday May 20, 2025 8:13 am PDT by Joe Rossignol

Apple today announced a more detailed schedule for its annual developers conference WWDC, which runs from June 9 through June 13. The schedule confirms that Apple's keynote will begin on Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with a live stream to be available on Apple.com, in the Apple TV app, and on YouTube.

During the keynote, Apple is expected to announce iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, visionOS 3, and other software updates, along with new Apple Intelligence features. In some years, there are also hardware announcements at WWDC, but there has yet to be any rumors about new devices being unveiled at this year's conference.

Apple has reminded developers that WWDC 2025 is "on the horizon" on its developer news page, where developers can now register for group labs.

The keynote will be followed by the Platforms State of the Union video on June 9 at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. This video will provide a deeper dive into the latest features and tools for developers across Apple's software platforms. Apple says the video will be available to stream via the Apple Developer website, app, and YouTube channel.

Both the keynote and the Platforms State of the Union will be available for on-demand playback after each live stream concludes.

In the past, the WWDC schedule included an in-person Apple Design Awards event, but Apple moved to pre-announcing the winning apps last year.

WWDC 2025 will primarily take place online, with more than a hundred videos to be shared across the Apple Developer website, Apple Developer app, and YouTube for free. There will also be an in-person component, as more than 1,000 developers and students have been invited to attend a special day at Apple Park on June 9 to watch the keynote video together, meet some of Apple's teams, socialize, and more.

WWDC used to be interesting, because it usually announced what what coming in September.

Now, Apple announces what they plan to release 6-12 months from now, with the better stuff coming in the 9-12 month range. Some things will even get canceled or reduced. WWDC now just seems to be a hype event designed to keep people thinking that Apple is keeping up with its competitors. I wished they only give a 4 month look ahead, and actually deliver what they put out there.

So, I'm not going to even bother watching. I'll wait to see features that are actually when they are in Beta. Then we can be pretty sure those features are coming, and coming in a timely manner.

Apple really lost my trust in Apple software announcements when they heavily advertised iphone 16 for AI, then canceled a lot of the AI stuff, then finally allowed iphone 15 to run their AI. This was messed up on many levels.

Whenever I watch the September event or WWDC, my wife says I'm just watching an hour long ad. I really miss the actual conference presentation style from before the pandemic.

Apple will have to pretend so many things aren't wrong right now. Will make for an odd WWDC.

This will be magnificent ...too bad there are no leaks/rumours about Mac Pro

Meh, the Mac Pro like I gave up on because Apple does not seem to care about pro users like they did a decade or so ago

Can't wait to see the UI redesign. I'm hoping to see a lot of the frosted glass with muted colours that are being teased in these thumbnails. I honestly can't stand the iOS 7-era of iOS UI anymore :D

Apple today announced ('https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/05/apples-worldwide-developers-conference-kicks-off-june-9/') the schedule for its annual developers conference WWDC, which runs from June 9 through June 13 ('https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/25/apple-wwdc-2025/'). The schedule confirms that Apple's keynote will begin on Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with the company expected to announce iOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, visionOS 3, and other software updates.

In some years, there are also hardware announcements at WWDC, but there has yet to be any rumors about new devices being unveiled at this year's conference.

Apple also reminded developers that WWDC 2025 is "on the horizon" on its developer news page ('https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=wafsmat3'), where developers can now register for group labs.

The opening keynote will be followed by the Platforms State of the Union on June 9 at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. This video will provide a deeper dive into the latest features and tools for developers across Apple's software platforms. Apple says the Platforms State of the Union will be available to stream via the Apple Developer app, website, and Apple Developer channel on YouTube. On-demand playback will be available after the stream concludes.

As has been the case since 2020, WWDC 2025 will primarily be online, with more than a hundred videos to be shared across the Apple Developer website and the Apple Developer app ('https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/14/apple-wwdc-2025-developer-app-update/') for free. There will also be an in-person component ('https://www.macrumors.com/2025/04/03/apple-wwdc-developer-special-event/'), as developers and students who won a lottery have been invited to attend a special day at Apple Park on June 9 to watch the keynote video together, meet some of Apple's teams, socialize, and more.

So this logo basically confirms we getting the frost glass redesign of the UI… pretty interesting can’t wait to see how it looks! To be honest here that gradient bleed color of the text looks very nice.
