This weeklong Apple-hosted tech conference tends to represent a critical inflection point in terms of analyst and investor expectations.Key Takeaways: Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is in full swing this week, making this week a critical moment for Apple’s stock. At this conference, Apple is expected to announce a number of significant software upgrades, especially in regards to Siri and artificial intelligence. The State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK A) lets investors and advisors ride Apple’s momentum while diversifying its portfolio through other compelling tech stocks. As one would expect, Apple tends to make a number of business announcements throughout the course of the conference. While these announcements have tended to lean towards the software side, Apple has announced new hardware at WWDC in the past, such as the Apple Vision Pro in 2023.  WWDC 2026 has just begun this week, starting on Monday, June 8. Expectations are for Apple to lean into artificial intelligence, including a revamped Siri.  See More: XLK, XLE, or XLU?
