Apple WWDC 2026 keynote event: Live updates

Apple WWDC 2026 keynote event: Live updates on iOS 27 and Siri

Updated at 5:01 am ET June 8, 2026

Every year, Apple hosts the Worldwide Developers Conference to reveal the latest updates to its operating systems (and occasionally drops some hardware surprises, too). And all signs point to a more interesting WWDC than usual.

For starters, WWDC 2026 will be Tim Cook's last big event as CEO, and we're eager to see whether there's a torch-passing moment to CEO-in-waiting John Ternus. We're expecting to learn all about iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, and a ton more Apple products. It's also been two years since Apple first promised an AI overhaul of its Siri assistant, and the company may finally debut the new Siri during the opening keynote.

WWDC 2026 will kick off with a live "special event" at Apple Park at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, June 8. You can tune into the livestream with us, and Mashable tech reporters will be providing live updates on every big reveal.

Keep checking back, as we'll be updating this page repeatedly throughout WWDC 2026, which officially runs through Friday, June 12.
