Today, June 3rd, 2019, Apple is kicking off its annual WWDC (Worldwide Developer Conference) conference, where it will unveil the new features and enhancements of its iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS operating systems.

WWDC 2019 will take place, as usual, in San Jose, California, the United States, at the McEnery Convention Center, between June 3rd and June 7th. Apple will kick off the event with its a 2-hour keynote on June 3rd, to unveil the iOS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, and watchOS 6.

This is not a hardware event, so don't expect Apple to unveil a new iPhone or Mac, but instead the Cupertino, California-based company will focus on showcasing all the new changes and innovations coming to the iOS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, and watchOS 6 operating systems this fall.

Leaked screenshots of iOS 13 already surfaced on the Web last week to showcase a long-anticipated Dark Mode and other cool changes. Same goes for macOS 10.15, which will ship with new Music and TV apps, most probably ported from iOS like Apple did last year with macOS Mojave 10.14.

Developers should also expect to learn a lot of new tricks during the WWDC 2019 event as Apple will held more than 100 technical sessions and hands-on labs. Additionally, there will be the Apple Design Awards sessions, and more than 1,000 Apple engineers will help you get started developing apps for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

The iOS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, and watchOS 5 operating systems will be available as free upgrades for all users, and the first beta versions are expected to be released to developers immediately after the keynote presentation on June 3rd, with the first public betas following later this month.

Apple's keynote will be live streamed worldwide at 10 a.m. PT (5 p.m GMT). After that, the WWDC 2019 conference will continue with developer sessions until Friday, June 7th, 2019, which will also be streamed through the dedicated WWDC 2019 website or via the WWDC app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Apple Watch.
