Apple Begins Notifying WWDC 2022 Swift Student Challenge Winners

[MacRumors]

Two weeks ahead of WWDC, Apple has started notifying winners of this year's Swift Student Challenge, with applicants able to check their status via Apple's website. The lucky winners receive exclusive WWDC 2022 outerwear, a customized WWDC 2022 pin set, and a one-year membership in the Apple Developer Program. As an unexpected bonus, Apple is also providing winners with free AirPods Pro.

WWDC 2022 will be held online from June 6 through June 10, with sessions and other content to be made available on Apple's website and in the Apple Developer app free of charge. During the opening keynote, Apple is expected to announce its latest software platforms, including iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16, and there is always a chance of a hardware announcement or two at the event.

There will be one in-person component of WWDC 2022, as Apple is hosting a special day at Apple Park on June 6 for selected students/developers watch the Keynote and State of the Union videos. Attendees were selected through a lottery.

Only two things I'm looking for:

1. iPadOS 16 changes including the rumored Pro mode when docked to a keyboard or paired to keyboard/mouse/trackpad.

2. iOS 16 bringing more customization of the home screen layout.

Everything else just seems like gravy at this point.

Happy for them, hope they can make it.

(…) a new pair of Air Pods Pro (…).

It’s rare to see Apple products misspelled aside from cheap sellers on eBay or AliExpress.

Aside from that: congrats to the winners! Air Pods will be more useful than a set of pins in the long run when developing apps on a MacBook.
