Apple's 2018 WWDC scheduled for June 4 through June 8
Apple has announced that it will host its 29th annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California from June 4 through June 8 at the McEnery Convention Center.
The normal slate of events are expected at the event, including debuts of iOS 12, macOS 10.14, and new watchOS and tvOS versions as well.
Apple will host over 100 technical and design-focused sessions presented by Apple engineers. Hands-on labs will guide developers through new features, directly from the engineers who helped build the latest advances in Apple platforms.
A calendar of events is not yet available. Apple has also not yet updated the WWDC app to reflect the new show.
Apple's hardware intentions at the event are not yet clear. For years, Apple did not generally debut new gear at the WWDC, but opted to refresh a large array of it at the event in 2017. Possibly on tap are a pair of new iPads, and a dramatic MacBook Air refresh.
Developers can apply for tickets from now through March 22 at 10 a.m. Pacific time through the WWDC website. Tickets are issued through a random selection process, and developers will be notified of application status by March 23 at 5 p.m. Pacific time. Up to 350 WWDC Student Scholarships are available this year

Everything is going to be baked into each other. Two operating systems but unified across GUI and HUD and macOS will be able to run iOS apps.
I feel they could outline the same style as last year, announce a new major redesign mac(iMac last year, probably Macbook [air]) this year, then throw in minor updates to the rest the Macs and Announce the MacPro(iMac Pro last year), which will still be months away. Also an iPad update added in.
Edit: to answer my own question, obviously the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose isn't the same as the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
First off it isnt uncommon for Apple to do hardware releases prior WWDC if they have more important things to focuse on.
More importantly Apple still has months to go to deliver new product. Frankly the Mac lineup is looking pretty pathetic right now so there is good reason to want to see new Macs ASAP. Generally they want new laptops out well before back to school promotions. The desktop is so pathetic im not certain how Apple can look at istelf in the mirror, however rumors about new desktops vary widely. It could be fall before desktops debut.
Given all of the above i could see Apple debuting new Macs at WWdC simply to show the workd they are serious about the lineup. Personally ive lost faith in the idea that Apple can deliver innovative and cost effectivev Macs. As such im expliring Linux for real computing needsc. Maybe they can change my mind at WWDC.
(but seriously, I hope this means a return to more physically weighty UI elements with shadows and depth, we got rid of a lot of good with the bad in the backlash against skeuomorphism).
They are going to use that in all iOS devices and it will be awesome!
Not necessarily, they still have a few days to get invites out for an event this month, although they probably don't want to run into Easter, so if nothing by the end of the week, I guess it's off. Still, as has been mentioned, they could announce refreshes for hardware without an event at any time.
But OK, enjoy your Linux project for "real" computing needs. lol
Airplay 2 is coming soon.
Don’t wait.
Go now.
They won’t miss you.
You just can't reason with the "MacMini or get out" and the "Mac Pro cheese grater or get out" crowds.
In 2003 they showed the original cheese grater G5 at WWDC. I think it was the first WWDC I paid attention to. I bought that G5 PowerMac as soon as it became available.
