— -- It's official: Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference will take place in San Francisco the week of June 13.
The annual event is a huge draw for technologists and Apple fanatics looking to the next big thing. Last year, the WWDC -- as it's known for short -- included the debut of Apple Music, the death of Passbook in favor of the newly minted "Wallet" and a slew of software updates.
While Apple isn't revealing what's on its agenda just yet, Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said he's looking for an even bigger role for Apple's virtual personal assistant, Siri.
"I think on the OS X side, there has been a lot of talk of this, adding Siri to your Mac," Moorhead told ABC News.
Microsoft's Windows 10 has integrated its personal assistant, Cortana, into its operating system, and Moorhead said he thinks the popularity and natural language abilities of Siri would make it ripe for integration on Apple computers.
Chat bots were headline-grabbing topics at Microsoft and Facebook's recent developer's conferences. While Apple typically isn't prone to reacting to competition, Moorhead said he thinks it's possible there could be a role for Siri "as a counter to bots" since Apple's virtual assistant has a solid grasp of natural language, something other companies have struggled to replicate.
Software updates -- including those to iOS -- are almost always a given at WWDC. This could mean a first look at iOS 10 (or whatever Apple chooses to call the next major iteration of its mobile and iPad operating system, along with possible updates for tvOS for Apple TV and watchOS for Apple Watch.
Oh, and in case you need a reminder, just ask Siri about the conference.
