Overview
- Apple will hold WWDC26 online from June 9 to 13 with an opening-day event at Apple Park, more than 100 video sessions, interactive labs, and invites for Swift Student Challenge winners.
- The company says the program will spotlight AI progress across its platforms alongside new software and developer tools.
- Media reports, which Apple has not confirmed, expect iOS 27 to focus on Snow Leopard–style speed and stability and to debut a chat-style Siri built on Google’s Gemini under the codename Campos.
- Unconfirmed reports also point to a new CoreAI framework replacing CoreML and to macOS 27 dropping Intel Mac support while keeping Rosetta 2 for a final release, with Time Capsule backup support possibly ending.
- Coverage differs in emphasis, with 9to5Mac highlighting Apple’s rare pre-event AI messaging and AppleInsider compiling leak-based predictions that include new M5 Pro and M5 Max desktops for Mac mini and Mac Studio.
