Apple has officially shared the full schedule for WWDC 2025, after first announcing the event back in March. Things kick off with the main keynote on June 9 at 10 a.m. PDT and members of the press have been invited to attend in person. Here’s everything we know.

Apple Keynote – June 9, 10 a.m. PDT

Apple says, “WWDC25 kicks off with a first look at the groundbreaking updates coming to Apple platforms. The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.”

This keynote is expected to unveil major updates across Apple’s software lineup.

Platforms State of the Union – June 9, 1 p.m. PDT

Right after the keynote, Apple will host its Platforms State of the Union.

Apple says, “Following the Keynote, the Platforms State of the Union will take a deeper dive into the new tools that will further empower Apple developers, including advances across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. The Platforms State of the Union will be available to stream on the Apple Developer app, website, and Apple Developer YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.”

WWDC 2025 will also feature over 100 technical sessions, group and one-on-one labs, and plenty of other developer-focused content throughout the week.

Apple Will Let Developers Build with Its Own AI Models

Meanwhile, a new Bloomberg report reveals key details about what to expect from the event. According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will use WWDC 2025 to announce that third-party developers will now be able to build with its Apple Intelligence AI models.

A new software development kit (SDK) and related frameworks will let apps tap into the same large language models that Apple uses across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Up until now, developers only had access to limited Apple AI tools like Genmoji, Image Playground, and the system-wide Writing Tools. They couldn’t work directly with Apple’s core AI models.

That’s about to change. Gurman says Apple will first open access to on-device, smaller versions of its model, not the more powerful cloud-based ones, which still run on Apple’s servers. This means developers can expect faster, more private AI interactions, though they may not be as advanced as what cloud processing offers.

Gurman also points out this move could give Apple a financial boost. With App Store revenue facing regulatory challenges, giving developers access to Apple Intelligence could open up new monetisation opportunities.

“A surge in apps may also have a financial benefit. Apple takes a cut of revenue for subscriptions within apps themselves. But the App Store is under pressure from regulators globally. A US judge ruled last month that Apple must allow developers to steer customers to the web to complete purchases, bypassing the company’s revenue-sharing system. A wave of new apps could soften the blow of losing out on some current sales,” Gurman writes.

Gurman believes Apple is most likely thinking it can replicate what happened with the App Store’s early success with this move.
