Apple is set to kick off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 10 this year. The event, WWDC24, will span from June 10 to June 14, commencing with a keynote address.
Traditionally, WWDC serves as a platform for revealing updates across Apple's operating systems like iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. However, Apple surprised many last summer by introducing the Vision Pro mixed reality headset at the conference. This headset, which hit the market in February 2024, garnered significant attention online. The AR and VR-capable device is innovative, but its long-term success remains to be seen.
In an official statement, Apple confirmed that WWDC24 will run from Monday, June 10, to Friday, June 14. While developers and students can attend the event in person, those unable to be present can catch the keynote presentation on Monday, June 10. Apple will also provide updates and stream various parts of the conference on its website and YouTube channel.
Apple WWDC24 Overview
- June 10-14
- Keynote presentation on Monday, June 10
- Focus on OS updates and potentially more
Apple has remained tight-lipped about what surprises might be in store for fans beyond the anticipated OS updates. Historically, Apple has unveiled new products at WWDC events, such as the Vision Pro and the M2 chip. Despite the emphasis on OS updates, Apple is known for keeping its upcoming releases under wraps.
One area that could take center stage at this year's event is AI. Although Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has touched on AI previously, the company's AI strategy largely remains a mystery. Nonetheless, Apple is likely to address AI in some form, especially with other tech giants like Nvidia heavily investing in this field.
Given the impressive gaming capabilities of the Apple 15 Pro, there might be OS updates tailored to enhance mobile gaming on the device. The latest flagship phone from Apple boasts a range of gaming features, from hardware-accelerated ray-tracing to a diverse game library.
