Ahead of WWDC starting on June 8, Apple has sent out invites to the media for the event, as well as outlining its main schedule for the week.
Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference is the big event for developers working in the Apple ecosystem. The 2026 edition is sure to be exciting as usual, and the company is preparing to get people involved.
On Monday, Apple started sending out invitations to members of the media to attend a special event at Apple Park. While this would previously have involved watching a live keynote, it has since taken the form of a mass viewing of the keynote at Apple's headquarters, along with special events for attendees.
The tagline for the event this time is "Coming bright up." As usual, it is a cryptic statement, providing little clue about what Apple will ultimately reveal to the world.
A schedule to follow
At the same time as sending out invitations, Apple has also listed the events that will take part across the week. It also outlined how developers can observe and take part in events remotely.
The week starts with the Apple Keynote on June 8 at 10 a.m. PDT, which will be the venue for Apple's main launches, such as iOS 27. The keynote will stream from Apple's website, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel.
At 1 p.m. later that day, the Platforms State of the Union will be a deeper dive into new features, APIs, and technologies that are on the way. It will be viewable from the Apple Developer app, website, YouTube channel, and Bilibili.
Throughout the week, Apple will be holding video sessions and releasing guides, hosted by Apple engineers and designers. Group Labs, consisting of live online presentations and Q&A sessions, will also take place from Tuesday through Friday.
There will also be the Apple Design Awards, with 36 finalists chosen to highlight the craft, creativity, and technical expertise of the developer community.
