For the uninitiated, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is an annual conference that is usually held at Apple Park in California. The event is more often than not a showcase of the latest technological advances for Apple’s Operating Systems (OS). New hardware products are also sometimes announced during WWDC.
WWDC24 will be similar to past years’ events, where it will be a week-long slew of exciting events for developers. Developers will get to touch base with Apple engineers, designers, and other experts through over 100 technical sessions, in-depth consultations, and live forums for guidance on advancing in their innovations across all Apple products.

We are looking forward to seeing if Apple would be announcing AI-related updates to iOS 18 that could potentially change the way we interact with our iPhones. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iOS 18 and macOS 15 will offer a variety of new AI features such as auto-generated emojis, suggested replies to emails and messages, photo retouching, improved Safari web search, more natural interactions with Siri, smart recaps of missed notifications and more.
We’re excited to bring you the latest updates on-site from WWDC24 at Apple Park this year, stay tuned!
