There could also be some surprises including a new MacBook Air with a 15-inch screen and the hotly anticipated unveiling of Apple's VR headset.
“WWDC is one of our favourite times of the year at Apple because it’s an opportunity to connect both online and in person with the talented developers from around the globe who make this community so extraordinary,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “WWDC23 is going to be our biggest and most exciting yet, and we can’t wait to see many of you online and in person at this very special event!”
All will be revealed on Monday night from 6pm BST so watch this space.
