Apple Newsroom:

Apple today announced it will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) online from June 8–12, bringing developers together from around the world for a week of connection, exploration, and innovation. In addition to the online experience, developers and students will also have the opportunity to celebrate in person during a special event at Apple Park on June 8. […]

The special in-person event at Apple Park on June 8 will offer developers and students the opportunity to watch the Keynote and the Platforms State of the Union, meet with Apple engineers and designers, take part in special labs and activities, and connect with the worldwide developer community. Space will be limited; details on how to submit a request to attend can be found on the Apple Developer website.

Congratulations to my friends and former colleagues in WWDR and throughout Apple. Let the silly season begin! (But please, do sleep before Dub-Dub… It’s healthier.)

Apple’s announcement highlights “AI advancements” among the many expected updates. Will that finally include the long-delayed “more personalized Siri” Apple first promised at WWDC24? (Honestly, I’m crossing my fingers we’ll instead see it in a forthcoming *OS 26.5 update, as I’d be hard pressed to give credence to a recorded WWDC Siri demo at this point.)
