Apple Shares WWDC26 Wallpaper, Playlist, and 'Get Ready' Video Ahead of Keynote

Apple has shared a wallpaper, an Apple Music playlist, and a new "Get Ready" video ahead of WWDC 2026, one week before the company's keynote.

The materials arrived alongside a fresh tagline for the event, continuing the steady drip of teasers Apple typically rolls out in the days before its annual developers conference.

The Wallpaper

iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions of the wallpaper are available to download from Apple's developer website.

The design uses a dark color scheme with a glowing Apple logo at its center. The glow motif likely hints at Siri's rumored new design expected to arrive with iOS 27, though Apple has not commented on any connection.

The Taglines

The wallpaper page carries the tagline "Glow all out." It joins two taglines Apple shared previously, "All systems glow" and "Coming bright up."

The recurring emphasis on light and glow has fueled speculation about what Apple plans to reveal, but the company has not explained the theme.

The Apple Music Playlist

A new "WWDC26 Hello" playlist is now available on Apple Music. Apple is expected to add more playlists throughout the weeklong conference, as it has done in past years.

The 'Get Ready' Video

For developers, Apple has shared a new "Get Ready" video that offers tips on how to take advantage of WWDC, with all content and resources to be released for free as always. While there will be an in person component at Apple Park for some lucky attendees, WWDC has largely been an online event since 2020.

What to Expect at the Keynote

WWDC 2026 kicks off with Apple's keynote on Monday, June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The company is expected to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 during the presentation.

The conference will run through Friday, June 12, with hundreds of developer sessions to be shared online.

How to Watch

The keynote will be streamed live on the Apple Events website, which is now live. Apple will also stream the keynote in the Apple TV app and on YouTube.
