[TECH AND FINANCIAL]
Apple’s annual summer software event, WWDC, begins Monday at Apple Park HQ in Cupertino, California. CNET will be there to bring you all the news as it happens, including our first impressions of iOS 19. And you can watch the event online from anywhere in the world.
Apple has already revealed the lineup for its developer conference, which is scheduled to take place from June 9 to June 13, with a mix of online and in-person sessions. The company has scheduled a special event for the first day, from which it will stream its keynote and Platforms State of the Union Address.
This is the point in the year when Apple traditionally unveils major software updates, including the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS and WatchOS, for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, respectively. It’s exciting whether or not you’re planning to invest in a new Apple product this year, as the new software will also roll out to most of the company’s most recent devices, breathing new life into your iPhone for another year or so.
As always, iOS 19 likely won’t arrive until later in the year (probably after the annual September iPhone event), but WWDC will let us know what to expect, as well as potentially giving us insight into new Apple Intelligence tools. In the meantime, check out our iOS 19 wish list of features that CNET staff hope will be coming with this next big software update.
We should also note that it might not even be called iOS 19 — one rumor suggests Apple is changing its numbering system and this iteration will be called iOS 26. Better tune in to see if the rumor is true.
