Later today, June 13, 2016, Apple will kick off the annual WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) event for its ever-growing application developer community.

Being the first day of the event, Apple will hold its usual keynote speech, which starts at 10 AM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) or 5 PM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), to keep the world in the loop with the upcoming iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS, Xcode, iPhone, Mac, iPad, and iPod touch technologies.

WWDC has always been the "Epicenter of Change," where the Cupertino company has unveiled the future of iOS and OS X operating systems. But we have a feeling that, this year, there will be more announcements than we've ever seen before, as Apple is preparing for the launch of iPhone 7 later this year.

We had already told you a few days ago what to expect from WWDC 2016, but to summarize the major unveilings, we might see iOS 10, OS X 10.12 or a possible rebranding to MacOS if they decide to end the X series, along with Siri for Mac OS X and Touch ID support for unlocking your Mac from an iPhone or iPad device.

watchOS 3 and tvOS 10

Among other interesting things that might be unveiled this year at WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), there are new major updates of the watchOS and tvOS operating systems for Apple Watch and Apple TV devices, respectively. watchOS 3 and tvOS 10 development might start soon after WWDC 2016.

WWDC 2016 takes place between June 13 and 17 in San Francisco, USA, but today's keynote will be held at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Starting June 14, the developer conference will move to Moscone West, where it will be streamed live via the WWDC app for iPhone and iPad devices, as well as on the Web.

Worldwide Developers Conference consists of more than 100 technical sessions, hands-on labs, Apple Design Awards sessions, and many other events hosted by more than 1,000 Apple engineers. Please visit the official website for all the details.

We will cover the highlights of the keynote speech in real time on this page, so make sure that you bookmark it right now. As usual, our blog will refresh automatically in real time, so please keep in mind that you don't need to press the refresh button on your web browser.
