Updated 05/24/21: Apple has announced that WWDC will kick off with a keynote address at 10am Pacific Time.
After pushing it back by several weeks due to the pandemic last year, Apple announced that WWDC will return to its normal spot in early June. The conference will be held June 7-11 and will once again adhere to an all-online format that is free for all developers.
It will begin with a streaming keynote video at 10am Pacific Time. Other important sessions include the Platforms State of the Union at 2pm on June 7 and the Apple Design Awards at 2pm on June 10.
In addition to hearing about the next versions of Apple’s operating systems and important developer tools, Apple sometimes introduces new hardware at WWDC. This year, new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops are heavily rumored to be announced at the event.
How to watch the WWDC keynote
You’ll be able to stream the WWDC keynote at apple.com, in the Apple TV app, the Apple Developer app, and on Apple’s YouTube channel. We’ll embed the YouTube video here when it’s available. Immediately following the stream, the keynote will be available on-demand in all those locations.
I have written professionally about technology for my entire adult professional life – over 20 years. I like to figure out how complicated technology works and explain it in a way anyone can understand.
