This looks like a better format for WWDC than it would have been without the pandemic. Developers worldwide get access rather than a lucky few going to California.
Got a tip for us?

Is there a way to watch the sessions on an iMac or MacBook?
Looks like the Apple Developers App is only for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

WWDC will ultimately decide if I remain in the Apple Ecosystem. iOS has become stale to me. Also, Siri has fallen so far behind the other AIs out there. App quality and the connected nature of the Apple ecosystem is what keeps me. I need Apple to show so solid improvements.
You can usually live stream it on the apple homepage so you should be able to see it on any machine
iOS 13 kinda fell flat on its face this year. We're still waiting for fixes for things that used to work fine on iOS 12.
Kinda dreading what iOS 14 might break.

Be interesting as rumours have been very thin for IOS 14
New developer forums?!? Cautiously optimistic... the current forums are a joke, an embarrassment to Apple. Have been for many years. So anything would be an improvement (famous last words).
Notice how quiet Marques Brownlee has been lately? He likely has whatever new hardware Apple is releasing or announcing on June 22nd.

“From Apple Park”. Just as I thought, it didnt make much sense to have it at Steve Jobs theater given that there’s no audience. I expect that it’ll be a lot like Craig Federighi‘s iPad Pro demo. We’ll probably see some outdoor segments, Apple Park cafeteria and maybe in the Steve Jobs Theatre lobby. There’ll probably be ad format videos in betweeen segments.
I’d even argue that this might mark the end of the Stevenote era. Apple Park is such a beautiful campus. Showing it off during their presentations is probably better than watching people on a stage. Sure, there’ll be press events where Apple can interact with the world’s media face to face and they can try the new products in person, but these events may never again look like the keynote that Steve Jobs popularized.

Does anybody know why Apple hasn't added push notifications to the Developer app? or why I can only read a short summary of some of the stories in the app? There is certainly still room for improvement ...
and YouTube
Steve Jobs theater is inside Apple Park, therefore you cannot simply rule it out - but I think that some parts of the event will take place somewhere else in Apple Park. Audience or not does not matter, the thing that matters is that the theater has a big screen - without it it will be hard to show the keynote.

I am sure the keynote will be low key at the Steve Jobs theatre, just don’t expect any panning to the audience, since there likely won’t be anyone there. But, just to still have that live effect, you will see Craig demo new features, with cameras at a more up close angle and Tim announcing in front of the camera instead of to an audience. The camera or cherry picker will pan out or zoom out to show demos, mixed with the slideshows cut in and slid over showing the speaker on the left. Other developer content, thats likely how it will be too.
Here he is, the ceo of a hugely successful company, but he’s not good at big presentations. I think he is great when he’s talking to people about Apple in general terms, financials, environmental, social policies, but when it comes to products, it almost feels like he doesn’t understand the products enough to get people really fired up about them. I know everyone says he’s no Steve Jobs, which he isn’t and that’s a good thing.
Apple knows they can’t have the brand be represented by one person, the way that it used to be with Steve. But my opinion is they should be finding a different way to use Tim Cook at these events and instead have Craig and other team members trade top billing for the big announcements. Tim can be the glue binding everything together, but there needs to be more showmanship and excitement being conveyed on stage.
Yes but the 'bash' is really just us at home in our pajamas eating bon bons and sipping wine.
Show the big screen to who? Nobody will be sitting in the theatre. When you’re producing a presentation made specifically to be viewed on everyone’s personal screens at home, you don’t need a big screen where the presentation is happening. You show the content on people’s screens directly and the camera can get up close to the presenter’s device to show them interacting with it.
Do you see a big screen behind Craig here?

? You should give credit to the user who created that GIF when using it. Thank you.
It will be a small one, all current devices will be able to use it. So with that in mind, they won't do anything drastic which is sad because iOS is still a baby after all these years.
I think they say it securely. Quarantine got you overthinking stuff or just taking it to the wrong direction 😁
This WWDC will take about 5 hours, enough stuff to talk about ;D
