WWDC25: Special event on Whit Monday at 7 p.m.

Same Procedure as Every Year: Apple holds on its proven event time plan for the WWDC developer conference and now shared the times and further details for the opening day. Many are likely to expect the 19 o’clock keynote in which the next major versions of the Apple operating systems are presented. In addition to iOS 19, IPADOS 19, Visionos 3, TVOS 19, Watchos 12 and MacOS 16 “Am Horizont” – the latter is the title of the invitation to media representatives who sent out Apple on Tuesday evening.

The event at 7 p.m. Central European times will be shown on the net: on the Apple website, on YouTube and in the development app. A recording is then available for access.

1000 developers and students on site

Once again, the sending of the invitation in Cupertino, California, allowed yourself a little fun and swipe against competitor Google. Because that the WWDC invitation, which always attracts attention on social networks, just went out on the day of the Google developer conference I/O, hardly any coincidence. Apple communicates its WWDC appointment in several stages: At the beginning there was an announcement for developers who can apply for the presentation. The second surcharge, which has now taken place, applies to those who want to look at the keynote from home, as well as the media representatives and influencers who are invited to the headquarters in Cupertino.

The WWDC 2025 will take place from June 9th to June 13th. And Apple once again chooses online format. There will only be a comparatively small proportion of presence. For this purpose, 1000 developers and students are expected. Apple then builds a large screen in his park, where the keynote can be looked at together. There are other activities and opportunities for exchange around this appointment.

Most of it takes place online

If you are interested in the platforms State of the Union, which goes into the technical details, you should write an entry in the calendar on Whit Monday evening for 10 p.m. Then Apple will give deeper insights into the developments around Xcode and the APIs in the developments around Xcode. A pre-produced video can also be expected here, which is then available for on-demand calls.

Interested developers can also take part in 100 technical sessions in the WWDC week. The sessions will be available in the Apple Developer app, on the website and via the YouTube channel. Developers also have access to guides and documentation. Members of the Apple Developer Program and the Apple Developer Enterprise Program have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts directly in online labs for groups and in individual appointments.

Mac & I and Heise report online

The Swift Student Challenge will again be present at the WWDC. 50 of them can be there as a distinguished winners in Cupertino.

Heise online and Mac & i will report again on Whit Monday and then from Hanover and on site from Cupertino via the WWDC and the innovations around the Apple operating systems as well as possible hardware announcements.
