Macworld Of the big Apple events of the year, WWDC is the most reliable: In each of the past 16 Junes, like clockwork, Apple has held a big get-together for its developer partners and announced a raft of important software updates. The September iPhone launch and the March/April spring event (which didn’t happen in 2023) seem almost unpredictable by comparison. In this article, we list the major announcements (and some of the smaller titbits) you can expect to hear about at WWDC 2023 this June.

Updated May 2023 to add Georgia to the list of states with driver’s license support in Wallet. Apple announced plans to turn the iPhone into your driver’s license in 2021.

WWDC is important because, at the opening keynote presentation, we get to hear what Apple has in store for its various operating systems, and therefore for the devices that run them. If you own an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch or Apple TV, WWDC will be relevant to you, and we strongly recommend that you watch the keynote. Fortunately you don’t need an invite. The keynote will be available online for everyone to watch live, or to stream later. We’ll embed the livestream once it’s available, so you can watch it here. There are other options too,…

Macworld Apple has released details of this year’s WWDC viewing event, which for the first time will include a tour of Apple Park, a series of extended developer sessions, and an apparently unmissable evening event. Like WWDC 2022 and the iPhone 14 launch in September, this year’s WWDC will be a hybrid event: primarily a pre-recorded virtual presentation, but with an in-person component where select invitees gather for what is essentially a keynote watching party. Much as in-person visitors got some hands-on time with the new iPhones and Apple Watches in the September 2022 event, WWDC 2023 attendees will get to enjoy a bunch of special privileges. As MacRumors reports, these privileges will include three components that haven’t been available…
