Apple's World Wide Developers Conference traditionally serves as a launch event for new operating system versions and Apple apps, and new hardware is also announced from time to time. Apple has now confirmed in a press release that WWDC 2025 will take place from June 9 to 13. For consumers, the press conference at the beginning of the event is the most interesting, and this year's event is expected to be particularly exciting.
According to the latest information from Bloomberg, iOS 19, iPadOS 19 and macOS 16 will be the biggest updates in years. Apple is expected to give the iPhone, iPad, and Mac user interfaces the most comprehensive design update since the launch of iOS 7 in September 2013, introducing new icons, apps, menus, window designs and buttons. Apple is reportedly basing its design on visionOS, the operating system from Apple Vision Pro. Apple's iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems are expected to look more similar than ever following these updates, although Apple is still not planning to standardize the iPad and Mac user interfaces.
WWDC 2025 is also expected to reveal details on watchOS 12 and visionOS 3, the biggest updates of the year for the Apple Watch and Vision Pro. In addition to the opening press conference, WWDC 2025 will also offer numerous online sessions for developers, where Apple engineers will explain the new software features and developer tools. Developers wishing to participate in these sessions must register in advance on Apple's website.
