Worldwide Developers Conference 2023

Worldwide Developers Conference 2023 (or WWDC 2023 or WWDC23) is the 34rd annual computer conference to be hosted by Apple Inc. for its developers, expected to be held sometime in June 2023.

Expected announcements
Apple CEO Tim Cook has opened the keynote event at the conference since WWDC 2012. Operating system announcements, such as new versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, are typically presented by Senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi. New watchOS announcements are typically presented by VP of Technology Kevin Lynch. Hardware announcements are typically presented by Senior VP of Hardware Engineering John Ternus with any new processors being presented by Senior VP of Hardware Technologies Johny Srouji.

Background
WWDC 2020 was the first Worldwide Developers Conference to be held virtually in an online format, due to the COVID-19 outbreak that temporarily closed all of Apple's retail stores at various times around the world. WWDC 2021 (and WWDC 2022 to some extent), were also held online in this manner due to the ongoing pandemic, so WWDC 2023 may be the first in-person developer event to be held by Apple since WWDC 2019.

Apple has also held annual scholarship events with the conference, such as the Swift Student Challenge, which were held virtually from 2020 to 2022.
