Apple Announces WWDC 2014 Scheduled for June 2-6, Ticket Lottery Starts Today

[OllyW]

Yeah, OK. I now know it's a lottery. Sorry, I just jumped to conclusions.

The title of the article was originally Apple Announces WWDC 2014 Scheduled for June 2-6, Tickets On Sale Today so I'll let you off this time. 😀

 

[Serban]

so the future of iOS8 and MacOS,the new macbook air and thats all, BUT maybe a sneak peak of a new product like last year with Mac Pro

The 2014 logo shows scaled squares. A hint at making iOS work on multiple screen sizes? (phones/tablets/tv's/carplay?).

 

[bbeagle]

Tickets sold out yet?

Someone doesn't read the article.

 

[MartinAppleGuy]

When will the live keynote be then? On the 2nd of June or somewhere in between?

I didn't see any hardware mentions in the announcement.

How many of us believe that the lottery will be totally random? Certainly the "marquee" developers — folks like the Angry Birds team, Facebook mobile, etc. — will be admitted no matter what.

I thought apple was digging the circles, now they're going back to squares? 😛

 

[Nalmond92]

Now we wait for the moscone centre to get decorated...

 

[proline]

They don't mention whole new iOS or Mac OS releases this time.

I would actually be happy if they hold off on the next Mac OS to make sure it's as bug-free as possible. But I doubt we won't see iOS 8.

Apple never announces that there will be a new version of iOS in advance, but there always is. This won't be changing. Apple needs iOS 8 as a key part of their marketing strategy for the iPhone 6. Put simply, the "future of iOS" is iOS 8.

Now if you want to mindlessly speculate/make crap up, you should be spending your time psycho-analyzing the 2014 WWDC graphic, not fear-mongering about something we know the answer to. The graphic actually includes a huge amount of info. Item #1- thin fonts are here to stay.

Get to see the software that will run on my iPhone 5s from Sept-Dec (when I will "Edge-up" to the iPhone 6 🙂

 

[Populus]

So does the image hint to OSX looking kind of like iOS 7?

I see it too.

I'm sure Apple has reserved invites for top developers.

I'm sure Apple has reserved invites for top developers.

Definitely, I can't imagine some of the heavy hitters losing out on the lottery.

They look like TV screens to me...

 

[Rogifan]

They look like TV screens to me...

TV screens are squares with round corners?

 

[5aga]

to me they look like scaled pixels.. perhaps a hint of a bigger iphone

 

[razbiz]

Logo

So, that logo looks very much like a bunch of pixels made up of small -TVs, non?

 

[jian]

the banner emphasizes pixels, which i think they are hinting something about a monitor or a tv

 

[Nalmond92]

When will the live keynote be then? On the 2nd of June or somewhere in between?

Key note is usually the morning of the opening day so it will be on the 2nd

 

[Rogifan]

I love how we really have no idea what will be shown off at WWDC and it's driving the usual suspects in the Apple rumor mill chain crazy.

 

[jonnysods]

Boom. These events are always fun.

Two new OS previews for mobile and computer? I hope so.

 

[ineedamac]

Lottery seems fair.

I agree. Seems like a fair way to distribute tickets.

Exactly. Most lotteries are already half gone before the lottery even starts. The organiser always sets aside a lot of tickets for people they want to see there. So who ever from the public wins the lottery, they know they are very lucky as only a subset of the total pool of tickets is made available for the public lottery.
