In 2006, Jobs once again delivered the keynote presentation at the WWDC, which was held from August 7 to 11 in [[Moscone Center]] West, San Francisco. The [[Mac Pro]] was announced as a replacement to the [[Power Mac G5]], which was Apple's prior ''pro'' desktop computer and the last remaining [[PowerPC]]-based Mac. The standard Mac Pro featured two 2.66&nbsp;GHz dual core Xeon (Woodcrest) processors, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive, and a 256 MB video card. An Xserve update, based on the dual core Xeons, was also announced. Redundant power and Lights Out Management were further product improvements to Apple's server lineup.

Apple also announced support for third-party development of the then-upcoming [[iPhone]] via online web applications running in Safari on the handset. The announcement implied that Apple, at least for the time being, had no plans to release an iPhone [[software development kit]] (SDK), meaning that developers must use ''standard web protocols''. Also, Jobs noted during the keynote that more than 5,000 attendees were present at WWDC 2007, breaking the prior year's record. The band [[Ozomatli]] played at the [[Yerba Buena Gardens]].
