Anyone who owns a MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch or iPhone might want to pop 6 pm BST tomorrow night in their diaries (June 9). That's the date and time when Apple's yearly WWDC Developers Conference officially starts, and we're expecting some big news and surprise changes to be confirmed.

Now, you might be thinking that a Developers Conference sounds like as much fun as watching paint dry, but this event always offers up plenty of exciting announcements for consumers.

WWDC is where the US firm releases all of its major software updates for its biggest products. That means we're likely to get our first glimpse at new features, refreshed looks and smart changes coming to iPhones, tablets, watches and laptops.

Apple Intelligence could also be the star of the show once again this year with it almost certain that Apple will boost this clever function that now ships on all of its newest devices. For those not in the know, Apple Intelligence can write emails for you, retouch your photos and sort your email inbox automatically.

We'll find out full news tomorrow, but rumours are rife that one of the biggest changes in years could also be confirmed the Apple's HQ in Cupertino.

According to the very reliable team at Bloomberg, Apple could completely rename its operating systems and end the usual cycle we're so used to seeing.

Instead of the single numerical jump - eg. iOS 18 becomes iOS 19 - it seems Apple could switch to naming its operating systems for the year ahead. So instead of iOS 19, the iPhones software will be iOS 26 instead.

Here's what things could be named later this year

iOS 26, macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and watch OS 26 - you get the idea.

Of course, Apple never reveals anything ahead of time and we'll have to wait and see exactly what's announced in Cupertino. Luckily, there's not long to wait with the US firm revealing all tomorrow night.

Mirror Online will be bringing you all the news live from WWDC, so watch this space if you want to know what's coming to your MacBook, iPad and iPhone later this year.
