Apple just confirmed what everyone pretty much guessed the moment the company announced that WWDC 2024 would begin on June 10. The annual developer conference will get underway with a keynote that day, which Apple plans to live stream.

The WWDC 2024 keynote will begin at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. BST on Monday, June 10. In the past, Apple has streamed the keynote on its website, though we also imagine you'll be able to watch from the company's YouTube channel.

In addition to iOS 18, we're also expecting previews of the latest versions of watchOS, macOS, tvOS, iPadOS and visionOS. Developer betas are usually released during WWDC, with public betas following in the weeks after the event.

With Apple having recently announced new iPads powered by the M4 chip and an iPhone SE 4 not expected until 2025, there's not much expectation of hardware announcements during the WWDC keynote. It's always possible Apple could surprise us with Mac news of some sort, though most Mac hardware announcements are expected in the latter half of this year.

We'll find out soon enough what Apple will focus on its WWDC 2024 keynote. The newly confirmed presentation is less than two weeks away.
