WWDC is almost here, after months of anticipation. Apple WWDC 2023, like previous years, is expected to be mostly virtual, with developers able to enjoy a week’s worth of seminars from the comfort of their own homes – and absolutely free of charge.
At least, for the majority of developers. A select group of students and developers will be invited to Apple Park on the first day of the event, where they will have one-on-one access to Apple developers and engineers.
Despite the conference’s developer focus, Apple performs a public keynote presentation on the first day to introduce the next major updates to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. However, there may be some significant hardware announcements for Mac this year, as well as a new AR/VR headset.

How to watch the WWDC 2023 livestream from home
The official YouTube stream is the best method to watch from any device – we’ll include it in the post closer to the time.
While Apple’s WWDC keynotes were formerly only available through Apple devices and Apple browsers, the firm has recently expanded support to a variety of devices and applications – both on Mac and Windows.
That being said, it’s now easier than ever to watch the WWDC 2023 livestream from the comfort of your own home – the approach just depends on the device you’ll be using.
Watch on iPhone, iPad and Mac
It’s simple to tune in to Apple’s major gadgets, the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple recommends using iOS 10 or later on an iPhone or iPad and macOS Sierra 10.12 or later on a Mac for the best experience, although the stream may function on earlier devices as well.
To follow along, simply go to the Apple Event website on your preferred device. In addition, if you’re using a more current version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, you may use the Apple TV app.
You’ll also be able to download the keynote after the event via the Apple TV app, allowing you to catch up if you missed it live.
