Apple’s highly anticipated WWDC 2025 event will begin on Monday, June 9th at 10 A.M. Pacific time (1 P.M. Eastern time). The Cupertino-based company is expected to use the event to announce its next generation of software for various devices including the iPhone & iPad, the Mac, the Apple TV, the Apple Watch, and the Vision Pro, among other things.
While we’re still a week away from this exciting announcement event, Apple is already preparing its streams so that people can tune in remotely. Apple’s YouTube account is now locked and loaded, with the live stream page already up on the website for people to receive streaming notifications when it’s about to begin. Viewers will be able to tune in using the embedded YouTube link above.
We’re expecting to see an interesting shift in software nomenclature at WWDC 2025. Instead of naming the next iteration of the iPhone’s mobile operating system iOS 19, it’s rumored that Apple will instead call it iOS 26, aligning with the year it’s being made for. Likewise, Apple could name its other operating systems similarly, such that they’re called iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26.
In addition to aligning with the year these software updates are being made for, it gives Apple a unique opportunity to bring simplicity to its naming scheme. With everything being named “26” starting this year, there would no longer be any disparity between version numbers across the company’s various device platforms.
As for what these operating system updates may bring, Apple’s “Sleek peek” catchphrase attached to this year’s WWDC 2025 event seems to support previous theories that iOS & iPadOS 26 could adopt a visionOS-like glassy redesign.
It’s worth noting that as WWDC 2025 is just around the corner, an obligatory Hashmoji for the event has been made on social media platform 𝕏 (formerly Twitter). It will appear automatically in a user’s post whenever they use the #WWDC25 hashtag in their post.
