Apple will also host more than 1,000 developers and students at Apple Park for a special in-person celebration on opening day.
Following the keynote, Apple will present its Platforms State of the Union at 1 PM PDT on June 9, offering developers a deeper dive into new tools and technologies across Apple's software platforms. The presentation will stream via the Apple Developer app, website, and YouTube channel.

The conference is expected to showcase major software updates including iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, and visionOS 3. Industry reports suggest Apple may unveil significant design overhauls across its operating systems, potentially borrowing visual elements from the Vision Pro interface with new frosted glass aesthetics and muted colours.
Apple Intelligence enhancements are also anticipated, though the company faces pressure to deliver on AI promises made at last year's conference. Developers will have access to over 100 technical sessions throughout the week, along with group labs and one-on-one appointments with Apple engineers.

Bill Atkinson, the Apple Computer designer instrumental in creating the graphical user interfaces that made the Lisa and Macintosh computers accessible to millions died last week. Paying tribute to Atkinson, Cook wrote on X:
'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Atkinson. He was a true visionary whose creativity, heart, and groundbreaking work on the Mac will forever inspire us. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.'

No merchant discount rate on UPI transactions
New Delhi: The government is fully committed to promoting digital payments via Unified Payment Interface (UPI), the finance ministry said Wednesday, adding there will be no merchant discount rate (MDR) on UPI transactions . MDR is a rate charged to a merchant for the payment processing of debit and credit card transactions. "Speculation and claims that the MDR will be charged on UPI transactions are completely false, baseless and misleading," it said in a statement, adding that such speculations cause needless uncertainty, fear and suspicion among the citizens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bank Owned Properties For Sale In Damai Bahagia (Prices May Surprise You) Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now Undo To promote digital transactions, MDR was made zero from January 2020 for RuPay debit cards and BHIM-UPI transactions through amendments in Section 10A of the Payments and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 and Section 269SU of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Despite their rivalry, Steve Jobs defined his bond with Bill Gates using this Beatles lyric, and it might just melt your heart
In the pantheon of modern tech giants, few rivalries have captivated the world like that of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs . As titans of Microsoft and Apple , they reshaped the world—often in fierce competition with one another. But beneath the decades of dueling products and trading barbs lay a deeply human story, punctuated by a moment of raw, heartfelt truth that has resurfaced—and is melting hearts all over again. From Sworn Rivals to Soft-Spoken Admirers In the early days of personal computing , Gates and Jobs were not just competitors—they were at times adversaries in every sense of the word. They accused each other of stealing ideas. They made public digs. Their relationship symbolized the intense battle for tech supremacy in the 1980s and '90s. But everything began to shift in 1997 when Microsoft bailed out the then-struggling Apple with a $150 million investment. That moment laid the groundwork for a subtle transformation in their dynamic—from cold warfare to quiet admiration. A Stage, a Song, and a Sentence That Said It All That transformation reached its most poignant moment on stage at the 2007 AllThingsD conference , where the two visionaries shared space, laughter, and respect. Gates even admitted, 'I'd give a lot to have Steve's taste.' But it was Jobs who delivered the line that no one has been able to forget—a single sentence that redefined their relationship in the eyes of the world. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout: New Apocalyptic MMO Crossout Play Now Undo 'I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or a Beatles song,' Jobs began, 'but there's that one line in that one Beatles song, 'you and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead' ... and that's clearly true here.' Taken from the Beatles' song Two of Us —a tune many believe chronicles the evolving bond between Lennon and McCartney—Jobs' quote laid bare a relationship shaped as much by mutual history as by rivalry. It was as if he was saying: even if our paths have been turbulent, they've been shared—and that matters more than what lies ahead.

Only his wife, a few doctors, and a handful of close confidantes reportedly knew. The interview, held in May 2007, came just four years before Jobs passed away at age 56. In retrospect, the quote feels less like nostalgia and more like a quiet farewell. What began as the greatest rivalry in tech ended in something more nuanced: mutual recognition, layered respect, and yes, love—in the complicated, real-world sense. In the end, it wasn't just computers they built. It was history, together. And like the Beatles lyric that captured their bond, theirs was a story 'longer than the road that stretches out ahead.'
