Apple has a lot in store for users this year, ranging from new product launches to software updates that will change the way how people interact with their devices. The company is keen to expand its AI endeavors further by partnering with the giants of the industry, such as Google and OpenAI, for its forthcoming iOS 18 release. Apple is expected to unveil iOS 18 and a bunch of other updates at its WWDC 2024 event, and it appears that the technology giant will announce dates for the conference as soon as this week or the next.
Here's when Apple could announce WWDC 2024 event dates
Apple typically announces dates for its WWDC 2024 event a few months in advance, based on the company's schedule from the last few years. There have been no official WWDC 2024 date reports at this stage, as the company announces dates as they see fit. We are basing our speculations on Apple's past trends, as the Cupertino firm announced dates for WWDC 2023 during this time last year. Check out when Apple announced WWDC dates in the last five years, which will give you a rough estimate of when you should expect the WWDC 2024 event dates to arrive.
- WWDC 2023 - Wednesday, March 29
- WWDC 2022 - Tuesday, April 5
- WWDC 2021 - Tuesday, March 30
- WWDC 2020 - Friday, March 13
- WWDC 2019 - Thursday, March 14
We can see that Apple has been opting to announce WWDC dates in the last week of March or in the first week of April. If the company keeps up with its trend, we can expect the WWDC 2024 dates to be announced this week or the next. Henceforth, be sure to keep an eye out for the dates as Apple will be announcing a plethora of software updates with major changes for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and other products.
As for the WWDC 2024 event dates, we speculate that the company could begin the conference in the first week of June. This is because Apple has held WWDC events in the first week of June for the past three years. However, since iOS 18 is a major update, considering the number of variations it will bring to the table, we suspect that the dates could be set slightly later than expected.
Apple is expected to announce iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS 15, tvOS 16, and visionOS 2 at its WWDC 2024 event, which will be released to developers soon after the event, but the final build will be released to the general public in September. We have previously reported that iOS 18 could be the company's biggest update for the iPhone, as it will bring a handful of AI-centric features to the table. Potentially, the company could surprise us with new products at WWDC as well, so be sure to stick around for more.
