Apple Announces Digital WWDC 2021 Event Taking Place June 7-11

[DeepIn2U]

They have confirmed no product launches at WWDC2021 therefore an April event is definitely still on the cards.View attachment 1751251

Why are you assuming April event is actually going to be happening award to be announced because of YouTube??! Get real if they’re focussing on a June event here in late March highly doubt people of the day doesn’t have to be April to announce a product it doesn’t have to be an event to announce a product

Glasses. In the reflection of the glass is the calendar icon that reads "Jun 17" but it also has 12 notifications. It was Agatha all along!

Who is Agatha??!

People still talking about an April event need to realise they wouldn't announce WWDC before that. iPad Pro will be a press release. There is no April event.

Another event where I will walk away disappointed because apple refuses to refine and make better Apple Music for better usability. I also agree with an above poster that they should make IOS 14 perfect rather than just going to IOS 15.

 

[EM2013]

Stop website videos from auto playing in iOS 15. Please Apple 🙏🏼

So annoying when you’re playing music, especially when you have headphones on.

2018
WWDC Announcement: March 13
Spring Event: March 27

2019
WWDC Announcement: March 14
Spring Event: March 25

Nice. I would expect an invite on the April 6th for an event on the 13th, then!

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

For the record, Apple announced WWDC 19 on March 14, and then held an event on March 25, 2019.
So just because they announced it now does not rule out an April event

 

[Spikeboss]

So, this mean the new ipad pro will be annouced on june at that conference?

It does not. No one knows when the new iPads will be announced, but April is still a good bet

As several people have already said, Apple has announced March events after announcing WWDC before.
Most recently in 2018, and in 2019

We need a separate thread on “caption that photo”

she’s looking at Touch ID on iPhone 13 and smiling yes!!

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

So here’s my prediction.
Apple event on April 13 or April 20. I wouldn’t be surprised for them to go with the 20th, just so that Craig can crack a couple 4/20 jokes as he’s known to do.
Announced in April are new iPad pros, new iPad mini, airtags, and a 24 inch iMac.
And then at WWDC, all of the new software updates and a new 14 inch MacBook Pro.

It's a little bit sad. No April Event. I was hoping to get something new on my birth month. LoL.

The Memoji on the WWSC announcement wears Apple glasses and an earpiece ....
This is so exciting !

 

[Antes]

AR/VR OS confirmed. exciting stuff!

 

[Rogifan]

The Memoji is wearing glasses just to get everyone in the Apple/tech universe buzzing about AR glasses. Honestly I can’t see Apple announcing AR glasses when there is no one there in person to try them out. Doesn’t seem like the kind of product you’d announce at a virtual event.

 

[Orange Bat]

It could be possible that Apple may wait and release new iPad Pros at WWDC. This could be the year they release a long-rumored XCode on iPad version and want to make a pitch to developers to try developing on iPads.

 

[MBAir2010]

i wonder what apple products they will discontinue at this event?
that would be funny if Tim Cook started grabbing 2014 Macbooks
and say:
"Macbook Air, 2014 128GB 4 GB RAM- GONE!" and toss that in a trash can
"Apple TV 3rd Generation.......GONE! and toss that into the trash can
while wearing his black tshirt and faded jeans

People thought the circles for the October event meant AirTags... guess what happened when theories went too further

Funny, I thought the circles meant new HomePod... and I was right.

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

It's a little bit sad. No April Event. I was hoping to get something new on my birth month. LoL.

Again, who said no April event?
Apple has held spring events after announcing WWDC before.
Several times actually

It has 21... right?

iMac and MBP 16 are cooooming

WWDC is traditionally only software

 

[PaulAllen/]

Apple today confirmed that its 32nd annual Worldwide Developers Conference will again be a digital-only event with no in-person gathering due to the ongoing public health crisis. As with last year's event, WWDC 2021 will be held online from June 7-11.

​

Prior to 2020, Apple hosted WWDC at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, but at the current time, it is not safe for companies to hold large public events.

WWDC 2021 will be free to all developers, with no $1,599 attendance fee charged. Apple will provide sessions and labs for developers to learn about the new features that will be introduced at the event, plus there will be a traditional Swift Student Challenge. Developer sessions and information will be available on the Apple Developer website or the dedicated Apple Developer app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Now through April 18, students can submit their Swift playground to the Swift Student Challenge. Winners will receive exclusive WWDC21 outerwear and a pin set. More information is available on the Swift Student Challenge website.

We're expecting Apple to hold an online keynote to unveil new software including iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS 12, tvOS 15, and watchOS 8. It's not known if Apple will unveil new hardware in June, but there are new Apple silicon Macs on the horizon.

Apple says it will share additional information in advance of WWDC 2021 through the Apple Developer app, on the Apple Developer website, and via email.

iMac and MBP 16 are cooooming

Is there still any speculation that the new iMac's will be announced in April? Or will it likely be during this event?

 

[qoop]

Would love an AMD Threadripper based Mac to be announced, ideally with Nvidia graphics… but it's going to be VR glasses and some laptops… probably…

 

[jonnyb098]

Think we may see another event announcement today for next week possibly...

Whatever is coming in April will probably be press releases. If an event invite doesn't go out by thursday it wont be a video. And honestly....Airtags and a speed bumped iPad doesn't warrant an "event"
