[person] You can feel the energy.

[person] It's like really deep insights

of what it feels like being a developer.

[person] Really?

[person] Wow.

[laughs]

[person] Okay, we open on black.

The curtain slowly opens.

Have a DeLorean on the stage.

Tim Cook gets out of that DeLorean,

showing the phone's flux capacitor.

[person] I would probably not start there.

I think it's kind of geeky.

[person] Cut!

[person] Are we going to go again?

[person] So we open on black.

[person] Does it have to be black?

[person] It doesn't have to be black.

[both] It could be yellow.

[person] Now my mind goes into, like, a cartoon.

[person] Imagine someone on their computer,

you know, they have an idea.

And, like, they push, like, enter,

or some red button and it goes out to the world.

And then all of a sudden, there's like millions of people

around the globe that get to experience

the thing that you've made.

Are you actually able to do all this?

[person] Um...

[record scratch]

[person] Maybe the title of the film

should be "Our Journey Into Tomorrow."

I see a little girl in an endless white room.

She meets Craig Federighi.

[Craig] Hi.

[person] But we don't see him.

We just hear his voice.

[Craig] Not cool.

[echoing]

[person] Now she's older.

And dressed for work.

[person] There has to be action at this point

or, like, some sort of drama.

She goes to work and discovers something catastrophic.

Someone says...

[person] We have a bug.

[person] So she comes in

and pounds on the keyboard.

[dramatic music]

And the bug is fixed.

[cheering]

Yeah, it's like a musical.

[person] Musical?

[person] Yeah, The Bug, But A Musical.

[music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[person] Wait a minute.

Why not make arena rock of WW?

[music]

There wouldn't be any pyro usually.

But I think, why not?

Pyro is fun.

[person] Do you think it would work?

[person] Uh, you won't know if you don't try.

[music continues]

[chanting]

[cheering]

[Tim] Good morning.

And welcome to WWDC.

It's so wonderful to see so many familiar faces

with us today.

We're excited to share our latest technologies with you

and with the incredible community

of millions of Apple developers around the world.

Your creativity and groundbreaking apps

continue to deliver new and meaningful ways

to enrich people's lives.

We applaud the extraordinary work

you've been able to do

throughout this challenging time.

Last year's WWDC was our most inclusive

and most watched developer conference ever,

with nearly 25 million viewers.

It was exciting to have so many people join us

and to see the impact it had on new Apple developers

as we broadened our audience, welcoming more people

from more places around the world.

We've continued to look for ways to help cultivate

the next generation of developers

with an emphasis on those underrepresented in technology.

We host entrepreneur camps for Black and female developers

to foster the talents of future industry leaders.

Our Developer Academies, including the newest in Detroit,

prepare the coders of tomorrow

with valuable tools and training.

And Learn to Code offers an amazing curriculum

for people to develop new skills and learn Swift.

We are committed to being a force for change

as we seek to make the world a better place,

full of opportunity for all of us.

This year, we're bringing you another online experience

featuring over 200 in-depth sessions,

one-to-one labs with Apple engineers,

and so much more.

We'll provide the tools you need

to continue creating the world's most innovative apps,

apps that inspire us in new ways every day.

And just like last year's WWDC,

this entire conference will be made available for free.

We've got a lot of exciting news and breakthrough innovations

to share with you today.

So let's get started by turning it over to Craig

to tell us what's new in iOS.

[Craig] Thanks, Tim.

All right, let's dive right in.

For many of us, our iPhone has become indispensable.

And at the heart of iPhone is iOS.

iOS powers the experiences we've come to rely on.

This year, we were inspired to create

even more meaningful ways iPhone could help you.

Our new release is iOS 15.

It's packed with features that make the iOS experience

adapt to and complement the way you use iPhone,

whether it's staying connected

with those who matter to you most,

finding the space to focus without distraction,

using intelligence to discover the information you need,

or exploring the world around you.

Let's start off with features that will let you

stay connected in brand-new ways.

In a year when figuring out how to get face-to-face

has felt more essential than ever,

we've all found ourselves using video calling

for just about everything,

and when it comes to making calls that are easy,

spontaneous, and connect us with the people who matter most,

FaceTime is a standout.

With its incredibly intuitive design

and end-to-end encryption since day one,

FaceTime is how we catch up with friend around the world

and how we stay close to family members when we're apart.

Enjoying these deeply personal moments over video

can bring so much joy,

but it also has its challenges.

When talking in person, our brains process

hundreds of social, auditory and visual cues.

When talking on a video call,

many of those signals can get lost,

leaving us feeling drained.

So this year, we've set out to make FaceTime calls

feel more natural, comfortable, and lifelike.

First is a feature that makes FaceTime calls

sound like you're sitting in the very same room.

We're bringing spatial audio to FaceTime,

creating a sound field that helps conversations flow

as easily as they do face-to-face.

Now your friends' voices are spread out

to sound like they're coming from the direction

in which they're positioned on the video call,

making your calls more comfortable and more natural.

Next, let's talk about two powerful new options

for your microphone.

The first is voice isolation.

When you're on a FaceTime call,

your mic is picking up a cacophony of sound,

so in voice isolation,

machine learning distinguishes those sounds,

blocks out the ambient noise, and prioritizes your voice

so that it comes through crystal clear.

Check it out.

[person] I wish I could be there!

[person] Me too!

Let me fix this.

Better, right?

[person] Yeah.

[person] Got what she wanted for her birthday.

[Craig] Sometimes, though,
