WASHINGTON—Apple said Monday that it will unveil the next generation operating systems for the iPhone and the Macintosh computer at its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco in June.

The Cupertino, California-based tech giant said the annual event will be held June 6-10 at San Francisco’s Moscone West.

“At this year’s conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS,” Apple senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Philip Schiller said in a statement.
