Apple WWDC 2023 schedule revealed! From iOS 17, MacBook Air to MR Headset, know what’s coming

After months of speculation, we finally have confirmation of the schedule for Apple’s next big event, the WWDC 2023. The Cupertino-based tech giant holds its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) on a yearly basis where it announces software updates as well as new hardware products. Although iOS 17 is one of the big reveals scheduled for this year, it is not the only announcement that Apple is expected to make. Reports have also hinted at other Apple products which could be announced.

With less than 20 days to go for the event, Apple has finally revealed the schedule for WWDC 2023, which will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, California.

WWDC 2023 Schedule

According to the schedule, the event will kick off on June 5 at 10 AM PT or 10:30 PM IST. It will begin with a keynote presentation which is likely to be hosted by Apple CEO Tim Cook. This is where Apple usually announces big software releases and new hardware products, giving the audience a chance to try them later in the day, followed by lunch.

Thereafter, Apple will hold its 2023 Platforms State of the Union presentation, giving developers a chance to get an in-depth view of what technology Apple has to offer, as well as plans for the future.

Since, WWDC 2023 will be held from June 5 - June 9, there is a chance that Apple could also make other announcements. Be sure to return to HT Tech on June 5 for the latest coverage on Apple announcements at WWDC 2023. Meanwhile, here’s what we expect from Apple.
