# WWDC26: The last Apple Worldwide Developers Conference attended by Cook as CEO

This Apple software ecosystem launch event has revealed new features of iOS, macOS, and other systems in advance. It is rumored that Siri will undergo a significant upgrade, and this will also be the last Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) attended by Tim Cook in his capacity as CEO.

Apple's annual mid-year software event—the 2026 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC)—will kick off with a keynote speech at 10 AM Pacific Time on June 8, corresponding to 1 PM Eastern Time and 6 PM British Summer Time. We will get an up-close look at the system updates that this tech giant has prepared for hundreds of millions of iPhones, Macs, and Apple Watches later this year. More importantly, the information released at this conference is expected to reveal Apple's hardware product trends for the second half of the year, including the iPhone 18 and the long-rumored foldable iPhone.

We can be fairly certain about the content to be released at this conference: new versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS will be launched later this year, and developers will likely be able to download the corresponding beta versions after the event. According to past practices, Apple will open the new system beta to the public in July.

The outside world expects Apple to announce progress on other projects, including integrating Google's Gemini artificial intelligence model into Siri and further optimizing and upgrading Apple's smart ecosystem.

One thing is certain: this conference will pay tribute to the outgoing CEO Tim Cook. This is his last time hosting the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, and he will officially hand over the reins to John Ternus in September this year
