Watch Apple's WWDC 2025 Keynote Live: How to Stream

Following Google and Microsoft's developer events, the spotlight now turns to Apple's WWDC. The Cupertino giant is preparing to introduce new iterations (and new version numbers) for all its operating systems, while taking another stride in convincing the world of its significant role in the AI landscape.

Rumors also suggest we might witness an entirely new product category from Apple, potentially including a HomePad smart display. Here's how to watch the live event.

When is the WWDC keynote?

Although WWDC spans the entire week, the keynote featuring major announcements is scheduled for just a couple of hours on Monday, June 9th. It begins at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT.

Where can I watch WWDC?

The keynote is being held in person at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, but it will also be streamed online. For most viewers, the easiest way to watch will be on YouTube, and we've embedded the livestream above.

Alternatively, Apple will also stream the event directly on Apple.com and through the Apple TV app.

What to expect from Apple’s keynote

Updated OS names

Bloomberg reports that Apple is rebranding—or more accurately, renumbering—all of its operating systems.

This year, they are expected to advance to iOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, and beyond, unifying version numbers and aligning them with the calendar year following their release to maintain a forward-looking appeal.

Of course, macOS isn't abandoning its California-themed names just yet. Alongside its new numerical designation, it is rumored to be called Tahoe.

A new look

Complementing these new version numbers, Apple is reportedly planning a comprehensive design overhaul for its software, drawing inspiration from the aesthetic of Vision Pro's visionOS.

This will include refreshed icons, menus, applications, windows, and system buttons across iPhones, Macs, and iPads, featuring a design that emphasizes "light and transparency." Updates will also extend to toolbars, new pop-out menus for additional options, and more substantial redesigns for the Phone, Safari, and Camera apps on iPhone and iPad.

HomePad hardware?

This could be Apple's prime opportunity to showcase its long-rumored smart display—a hybrid device combining HomePod and iPad features, complete with a speaker and smart home controls.

Initially rumored for a March 2025 release, expectations have since shifted to later this year. Even if the launch is still some time away, Apple may use WWDC as a platform to preview its upcoming innovations.

AI all over again

Apple cannot afford to overlook AI this year, even if Apple Intelligence had a rocky start. We hope—though it's not guaranteed—that Apple will provide a renewed look at its AI initiatives for iPhones and other devices, even if some features announced last year remain unrealized.

Having learned from past experiences, Apple may concentrate on AI capabilities that are nearer to completion. This could mean less emphasis on its plans to revamp Siri. According to Bloomberg, the focus may shift toward translation features, AI-driven battery optimization, and enabling third-party developers to access Apple's foundational AI models.
