WWDC 2016: Siri lets slip when Apple’s conference will be held

Apple hasn’t officially announced when it hold WWDC 2016, but if you’re just dying to know, you can always ask Siri.

The Cupertino-based company’s Worldwide Developers Conference will start 13 June. The annual event’s kick-off date was revealed through Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant. 9to5Mac spotted the slip. Keep in mind the conference’s dates haven’t been announced by Apple or through Apple’s website yet.

To find out when WWDC 2016 will be held, simply ask Siri exactly that, and then she’ll respond: “The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held June 13 through June 17 in San Francisco. I can’t wait!”

We’re assuming Siri has prematurely revealed these dates, because the personal assistant actually serves up Apple’s WWDC website when asked for more information, and that website still only displays dates for last year’s event. Either someone at Apple messed up, or the company is being clever.

The first day of WWDC is most important for consumers, as that’s when Apple provides information on upcoming software updates for its mobile devices, desktop machines, and smartwatch. Last year, it also touched upon HomeKit, CarPlay, and the launch of Apple Music.

We’re expecting Apple to preview the next big releases of iOS and OS X, so stay tuned to our Apple hub for all the latest news, reviews, and analysis.
