This year, Apple is expected to announce next-generation software updates for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, and Mac computers. While the company isn’t expected to unveil any new hardware, this year’s event is expected to focus on artificial intelligence (AI) features, an area where Apple is catching up to its rivals.

The company will host 50 Distinguished Winners of its annual Swift Student Challenge at Apple Park over three days. These winners will be part of special activities during the week of WWDC 2024, the company said.
Apple is also expected to announce the winners of its annual Apple Design Awards at WWDC 2024. This year’s finalists were announced on the Apple Developer website and app, and Apple says it will announce the winners soon.
WWDC 2024 What to Expect
During WWDC 2024, Apple is expected to announce details about the upcoming updates to its operating system: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and visionOS 2. Recent reports suggest that Apple is working on several improvements to its operating system, including the iOS user interface, in terms of customization.
The company is also expected to introduce new AI features on its operating systems, while Siri may be updated with new capabilities. The company was reportedly in talks with OpenAI and Google to integrate chatbot features on iOS 18, which is said to offer both on-device and cloud-based AI capabilities.
There’s currently no word on plans to launch new hardware at WWDC 2024, and the company launched new iPad Pro and iPad Air models earlier this month, alongside the new Apple Pencil Pro. However, given Apple’s tendency to keep its plans under wraps until they’re announced at its events, we’ll have to wait until the keynote event to find out.
