Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) will take place from June 11-15 in San Francisco, the company announced today.

"It's the week we've all been waiting for," Apple said on its website.

Tickets to WWDC, which will be held at Moscone West, run $1,599 and are limited to one per person and five per organization. Tickets to last year's WWDC sold out in one day (Update: This year's event sold out in less than two hours).

"We have a great WWDC planned this year and can't wait to share the latest news about iOS and OS X Mountain Lion with developers," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "The iOS platform has created an entirely new industry with fantastic opportunities for developers across the country and around the world."

Last year, Steve Jobs took to the stage to unveil iCloud and iOS 5, though both features were not officially released until later that year.

This year, Apple will likely talk about the next version of OS X, Mountain Lion, a preview of which was unveiled in February, and possibly tip some details about iOS 6. For more on that, see 6 Features We'd Like To See In Apple iOS 6.

In years past, Apple has also used WWDC to unveil its new iPhones, but it broke from tradition last year and waited to unveil the iPhone 4S until October. During yesterday's earnings call, Apple said it sold another 35 million iPhones during the last quarter, so it can likely afford to wait until the fall for another iPhone release.

What do you want to see Apple unveil at WWDC? Are you going? Let us know in the comments.

Executive Editor, News

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
