You know that summer is coming because Apple has announced when it is holding its Worldwide Developers Conference for this year. Known as WWDC (or "Dub Dub" by those looking to impress others), open your calendar app and enter WWDC 2026 for June 8 through June 12. While it will be held online during those days, developers and students will be able to take part in WWDC in person during a one-day special event that will be held on June 8th.
WWDC and iOS 27 Beta 1 are both supposed to take place on Monday, June 8th
The most exciting part of June 8th is the expected release of the first iOS 27 Beta. This could include the debut of chatbot Siri. Apple will reportedly pay Google $1 billion annually to use a custom 1.2 trillion parameter Gemini AI Large Language Model (LLM) that will turn Siri into a genius.
WWDC26 will spotlight incredible updates for Apple platforms, including AI advancements and exciting new software and developer tools. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting developers, WWDC will also provide unique access to Apple engineers and designers, and insight into new tools, frameworks, and features.
