Apple is set to host its annual developer conference, WWDC 2025, with biggest visual changes to Apple's software in years, a whole new naming scheme and possibly new hardware.
The Cupertino-based tech giant will focus on software updates and new technologies, including the next version of iOS, which is rumoured to have the most significant design changes since the introduction of iOS 7.
But iOS 19 (or 26), if other rumours about the new naming system are true, isn’t the only thing the company will announce at WWDC 2025.
WWDC 2025 date
WWDC 2025 will start at 10am PT (1pm ET) on June 9, 2025. Users will see the launch of iOS 26 instead, alongside the OSes for other products, including adOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26.
What to expect from WWDC 2025
New reports suggest that an upcoming redesign could provoke a similar level of reaction.
Reports suggest the new design may have elements referencing visionOS, the software powering Apple’s spatial computing headset, Apple Vision Pro.
If true, that means the new OS could feature a transparent interface and a more circular app icon.
According to Bloomberg, Apple will announce an overhaul in the naming system for iOS at this year’s WWDC.
iPhone users may get dedicated gaming app
Apple is reportedly developing a dedicated gaming app that will replace the ageing Game Center app.
The app could include access to Apple Arcade’s subscription-based game store, plus other gaming features like leaderboards, recommendations, and ways to challenge your friends.
How to watch WWDC 2025?
Apple WWDC 2025 viewing is set to be easy and accessible for everyone. You can watch it live on Apple's official YouTube channel, Apple's website, Apple TV, Windows PC, iPhone, iPad, Mac, or the Apple Developer app.
Apple said, "WWDC25 will spotlight the latest advancements in Apple software. As part of Apple's ongoing commitment to supporting developers, the conference will provide them with unique access to Apple experts, as well as insight into new tools, frameworks, and features."
