Apple is expanding opportunities for developers to learn about its iPhone Duo initiatives, offering workshops in additional international cities and online sessions covering Apple Intelligence, app performance, spatial computing, and App Store business strategies.
The company has announced a series of upcoming workshops, technical sessions, appointments, and community conferences scheduled for late October and November 2026. The events will provide developers with opportunities to learn from Apple engineers and experts, improve their applications, explore emerging technologies, and connect with other members of the developer community.
iPhone Duo Workshops Expand to More International Cities
Apple is encouraging developers to sign up for iPhone Duo workshops in several new locations, including London, Mexico City, Montreal, Paris, and Toronto.
The expanded workshop program is designed to help participants explore iPhone Duo in greater depth through opportunities to learn, share experiences, and engage with relevant topics in different locations around the world.
Developers interested in attending can browse the available workshops and review the options in their preferred cities.
Apple is also making recent Group Labs sessions available through video replays. These recordings allow developers to catch up on discussions and gain additional insights into iPhone Duo, even if they were unable to attend the original sessions.
Apple Intelligence Group Labs Scheduled for November
Apple is inviting developers to register for its upcoming Apple Intelligence Group Labs, which will take place online in November.
The sessions will give participants an opportunity to ask questions directly to Apple engineers and experts while following discussions about Apple Intelligence and related development topics.
Two sessions are currently scheduled:
November 4, 2026: 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Pacific Time.
The two sessions offer different time slots for developers who want to participate in the online discussions. Interested participants can register for the session that best fits their schedules.
These Group Labs provide a forum for developers to engage with Apple specialists, discuss technical questions, and gain a better understanding of the company's artificial intelligence initiatives.
Upcoming Apple Developer Sessions and Events
Apple has also outlined several developer-focused activities covering business development, app optimization, Apple Intelligence, and spatial computing.
The schedule includes the following events.
October 24: Build a Global Business on the App Store
Apple will host a session on October 24 focused on building a global business through the App Store.
