WWDC is Apple's June ritual — the developers conference where each year's [[iOS]], [[macOS]], and sibling releases are unveiled and the platforms' direction is set. Its keynotes carry as much history as any product launch: Mac OS X, Swift, the [[Apple silicon]] transition (2020), [[Apple Vision Pro]] (2023), [[Apple Intelligence]] (2024), and [[Liquid Glass]] with the version-26 renumbering (2025).

Since 2020 WWDC is free and online — pre-recorded keynotes, hundreds of session videos, and virtual labs — with an in-person special event day at [[Apple Park]] for invited developers and Swift Student Challenge winners. WWDC26 (June 8, 2026) introduced the version-27 platforms arriving in the fall. The conference remains the ecosystem's true annual meeting: the week the [[App Store]] economy learns what next year's devices will do.
