When Is WWDC 2022?
WWDC will be held from June 6–10. The WWDC Keynote takes place on June 6 at 10 a.m. PDT. On the day of the event, we will be posting articles that cover the details of this year's WWDC keynote. We will also do a special recording of the iPhone Life Podcast right after.
The last two WWDC events were done exclusively online due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. This year, Apple will allow a small number of developers and students to watch the keynote and State of the Union along with the online community at Apple Park on June 6.
