We're excited about WWDC 2026 , and after talking to some of you, you are too! Here's new wallpapers, an Apple Music playlist, and tips for developers, all from Apple, to keep the hype going.

For WWDC 2025, Apple announced it with the line "On the horizon," but changed it to "Sleek peek," with one week to go. That change was revealed by Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak.

Now, again exactly a week ahead of WWDC, Joswiak has revealed a change alongside a new animation. WWDC 2026 has been given the headline "All systems glow."

Apple has also been adding to its WWDC promotion across its developer site and services. There's a WWDC 2026 playlist on Apple Music, for instance, with more to come.

It's also now possible to download new WWDC wallpapers. They each feature a still, typically a close-up, of the glowing, liquid logo from the latest animation, in versions for the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Plus a new video guides developers on how to prepare for the conference. It includes details of the newly updated Apple Developer app, plus how to sign up for WWDC's sessions.

WWDC 2026 is a week-long developer conference that runs from June 8 to June 12. The opening keynote will be where Apple makes its major announcements for macOS 27, iOS 27, and more.

As ever, AppleInsider will be at Apple Park for the event. It's expected that Apple will once again showcase its Apple Intelligence AI features, this time most significantly with a dramatic update to Siri.

If Apple stays true to form, the majority of the event will concern iOS 27 for the iPhone. But there will certainly be updates for at least most of Apple's platforms, including the Apple Watch's watchOS and Apple Vision Pro's visionOS.
