WWDC 2020 is still going ahead this year despite COVID-19. It’s going to be all digital and streamed online as per usual. This means us Aussies still have to get up at a ludicrous time (or stay up) to catch all the action live. Get ready to mainline that coffee.
What to expect from Apple
If you’re keen on all the latest leaks and gossip, we have an entire post dedicated to it. But there are a few things we’ll have our eyes peeled for. The first of course is our first look at iOS 14. While it won’t come out until the iPhone 12 drops, WWDC is where we get our first glimpse.
Some of the things iOS14 is rumoured to include are some new iMessage features (like tagging and marking messages as unread) as well as Apple Pencil support and a new fitness app. And according to previous reports every iPhone that is compatible with iOS 13 will also have access to iOS 14. This means that the iPhone 6s and original iPhone SE will probably live to see another year of support.
And considering it’s a developer’s conference you can expect to see news around updates for iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS and macOS.
On the hardware front we’re probably going to see Apple’s new ARM processors for Mac and a redesigned iMac.
Of course, this will just be the tip of the iceberg, if previous years are anything to go by. So buckle up.
