The 35th annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will take place on June 10–14, according to an announcement made by Apple. The WWDC 2024 keynote is slated to take place on June 10 in Cupertino, California’s Apple Park site. Developers can join the remaining events for free online.
What might we anticipate from the keynote this year? Since WWDC is usually a software-focused event, we might learn more about the work Apple has been doing in the area of artificial intelligence over the past several months. According to MacRumors, additional rumors suggest that Apple will unveil a number of forthcoming improvements, including watchOS 11, macOS 15, iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and tvOS 18. Additionally, it’s anticipated that the business will unveil visionOS 2, the upcoming operating system for the recently introduced Apple Vision Pro headset.
It’s even possible we’ll get some new hardware announcements. Though typically software-adjacent, last year’s WWDC was chock full of product announcements, from the aforementioned Vision Pro to the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air. The Mac Mini has been missing from recent product refreshes, so maybe the company will announce an M3-based update.
As for the new software, there have been plenty of rumors regarding iOS 18. It has been reported that Apple might integrate Google’s Gemini AI with Siri and various iPhone apps. Check the suspicious capitalization of “Absolutely Incredible” in the above post from Apple’s VP of worldwide marketing Brad Joswiak for a winking acknowledgement of the move. It’s also been suggested that the smartphone software will allow users to place apps anywhere on the home screen grid and will offer RCS support in the Messages app, along with the usual array of design changes.
The keynote event will be available on the Apple Developer app, the Apple website and YouTube. The company is also inviting 50 winners of its annual Swift Student Challenge to attend WWDC in person.
