Apple’s WWDC 2023 event starts Monday, and CNET will be hosting a live watch party covering all the big announcements during the kickoff to the developers conference. CNET’s Bridget Carey and Abrar Al-Heeti will co-host the watch party on CNET’s YouTube channel, which will kick off an hour before Apple’s conference begins, at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET.

The watch party will provide analysis and commentary on the reveals that we’re expecting, as well as checking in with CNET’s on-the-ground reporting team. Then following the keynote, they will run through Apple’s biggest announcements for the iPhone, Mac and maybe even the long-rumored Apple mixed-reality headset.
