Updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS are also available.

WWDC typically handles announcements when it comes to operating system improvements because it is a developer-focused event.

During the keynote talk, Apple frequently previews the main OS updates

that will be released alongside its typical fall product lineup.

[{"selector":"#anim-87966bd6-f9fc-4490-ac79-fdeaab6ff0b3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ad744d9-07c0-4270-b748-821509a959bd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Although the rumor mill favors sharing news and leaks relating to hardware

[{"selector":"#anim-177fb938-2b9e-4627-a35a-cb027f7ec32b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ef4f064-2fa8-4195-ad44-1f86edac53ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

rather than those dealing to software, there are still some alleged changes in the works.

[{"selector":"#anim-81d77866-95a5-46e6-a19e-65ffdae6956b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a1afa5e-5640-4f53-a577-1ef2fb098735 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Given that iOS 16 is the most recent version, it makes sense that Apple will use iOS 17

[{"selector":"#anim-1b88b338-42f6-422f-aed7-871df68e6876","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9c4a66f-4ac3-4cff-9e06-74a486965b2d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to some rumors, the annual refresh would focus more on performance

[{"selector":"#anim-e8310afa-bdcd-4043-a12e-2e9686c422a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c15cc89-1c3e-4819-9634-72fd2dd5335e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
