Tim Cook set to deliver final WWDC keynote on June 8

2026년 06월 04일

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference will open with a keynote on June 8 featuring CEO Tim Cook in what is expected to be his last appearance in the role.

The keynote is scheduled for 1PM ET on Monday at Apple Park in Cupertino. It marks the start of the week-long event running through June 12, with a focus on software updates and artificial intelligence features. Cook will hand over to incoming CEO John Ternus in September. Analysts note the occasion carries added weight as a symbolic transition after Cook's 15 years leading the company. Apple has promised a revamped Siri powered by new AI models, along with updates to iOS, macOS, watchOS and iPadOS. The presentation will stream live on Apple's website, its YouTube channel and Bilibili for viewers in China. Paolo Pescatore of PP Foresight described the event as both a software showcase and a handover moment, while Ben Wood of CCS Insight highlighted upcoming products that could mark the start of Ternus's tenure.

사람들이 말하는 것

Users express a mix of excitement for Siri upgrades and nostalgia over Tim Cook's final keynote, alongside skepticism about the leadership handover to John Ternus and hopes for a strong AI showing at the event.

It’s almost time, I feel this will be a defining WWDC.

A little sad it will be Tim Cook’s last “Good Morning”, but really excited for the new Siri. 💯https://t.co/4FEmofyqGt

WWDC26 isn't just another keynote. It might be the most stacked one in Apple history.

June 8, and three seismic things are happening at once:

🔹 Siri is getting a full ChatGPT-level overhaul dedicated app, chat bubbles, conversation history. Basically Apple finally admitting… pic.twitter.com/xUomwjmVzP

tim cook's final keynote as apple ceo is in 4 days.

handing off to a hardware guy right when the whole industry decided software is the only thing that matters.

if siri finally works at wwdc, he looks like a genius.

if not, the hardware guy inherits the problem. pic.twitter.com/2HWYJF3QSE

Tim Cook's got three months left as CEO, and WWDC is Monday. Yeah, you see where this is going.

Whatever he announces is John Ternus's job to actually ship. The livestream placeholder is noise — the real move is whether Cook hands off a polished roadmap or a rough draft.

Watch…

This will also be Tim Cook's last public Apple Event as CEO. Ternus takes over early September and will presumably host iPhone Event as the new CEO.
