I suppose this will be a return to the live keynote instead of the polished prepackaged videos that we've become accustomed to because of the pandemic.
 
I didn’t get invited, but to be fair, I don’t have an app in the App Store so I could see why I wouldn’t have been picked.
I don’t know if this helps, but I got selected and don’t have an app in the app store….. Not saying this to brag, but HOLY CRUD I GET TO GO TO DUBB DUBB!

I can’t wait to see what new API’s I get to play with. I guess it’s time I finally update Xcode instead of using VSCode all day, eryday.

The image looks like a camera lens, maybe a hint to what is to come with the iPhone 14 camera upgrade.
If I were cynical I would say that this represents the ‘all new and improved camera’ system on the new Studio Display Pro Max coming in July for 2499$, but in my heart I wish it’s to signify the return of Aperture.
 
The camera image is the new camera module for the upgraded frontcam of the 2nd gen Apple Studio Display and a metaphor that Apple will be more focused on ad-business. Hence the eye.
 
Trust me, if you are not a developer writing code and designing apps, you don’t want to be at this or WWDC. You’ll feel so out of place there. I was in San Francisco for business during WWDC 2019.
Agreed, aside from the flashy keynote, company conferences SHOULD be for deep topics, labs, previews, discussion.

Sorry to hear you were in SF tho, because WWDC 2019 was in San Jose ;)
 
So lemmee get this straight .... lol
People are "thrilled" to get an invite
just to sit in an auditorium and watch a video,
you know, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS ...??

On the upside: it's been rumored that when Apple
unveils thier AIO HMD, they ideally want a live audience present.
The thinking being they want the tech press to try it right away.

This is thier first live[ish] event in a couple of years.
In fact, most people say they now enjoy the video-only keynotes more.
Which is something I've been screaming about since Steve was still with us.
Anyhoo, maybe people being present now is a sign the AIO is here.
F I N A L L Y!!

I wasn’t chosen. That’s not really a bad thing, however, as flights from the east coast are, shall we say, ridiculously expensive at the moment. I could probably buy a new MacBook Pro with the money it would have cost me.
I thought airfare was really really cheap now ...??
