Multiple Leaks Suggest No New Hardware at WWDC

[MacRumors]

Apple has scrapped plans to reveal any new hardware at WWDC tomorrow, according to leakers Jon Prosser and Max Weinbach who shared the information on Twitter.

While WWDC is usually a software-driven event, until now leaks had strongly suggested the announcement of new hardware, particularly a redesigned iMac with iPad Pro design language. Other rumored hardware announcements were AirTags, AirPods Studio, and a refreshed Apple TV.

WWDC events sometimes have no new hardware reveals, as was the case in 2018. Last year, Apple used WWDC to offer a preview of the new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. It is possible that Apple has faced supply chain issues this year, and may have decided to postpone hardware announcements until its manufacturing situation improves. It may also be the case that Apple simply did not have any hardware announcements planned for WWDC.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has also said he does not expect any hardware announcements at WWDC. Prosser and Weinbach are serial leakers, and both caution in their tweets that the information is somewhat uncertain.

Apple will livestream the WWDC keynote and we will be covering the event on MacRumors.com and through our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

If so...

I suggest buying AAPL in the stock dip that’ll create!

 

[now i see it]

So the purpose of fake leaks is to create a buzz about nothing.

 

[NoImDirtyDan]

That would be a huge disappointment...

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Rub it in, will you...

I still think they had planned to have some hardware, otherwise why all the rumors saying hardware was coming?

 

[The Game 161]

Guessing to focus purely on software...

They were never going to announce the new 12's tomorrow anyway. September's when they're expected to be announced...

 

[whiteonline]

Perhaps this is due to this being a web based conference? Would be missing the usual hands-on for the press, post keynote.

 

[nfl46]

Lol. I swear it seems like Airtags will never get released.

 

[NoImDirtyDan]

I'm not sure if I am the only one, but I could not care less about software. My iPhone can call, text, receive email, and browse the web. I don't understand Apple's heavy focus on software thinking they have accomplished the impossible. Spoiler alert, it may be half-assed, but Andriod did it first.

I mean, there’s always September. That’s 3 months away when the new iPhones are announced.

Software in June
Hardware in September

It’s a developers conference. If you couldn’t care less about software, the conference wasn’t for you anyway.

ill be focused on Fantasy Football by then ?

 

[CWallace]

Still think we might see an unveiling of the rumored 24" ARM iMac (and maybe a 13/14" ARM MacBook Pro), but no consumer availability dates (I expect both will first launch to developers when they do start shipping).

dos not matter they have relesss hardware be for at the developers conference like last year with the new Mac Pro and XDR screen

 

[NoImDirtyDan]

Why wouldn't a developers conference include hardware? Especially if they are switching to ARM chips in their Mac lineup

 

[MacFather]

Deleted.

 

[Souponastick270]

Hmm, could this be Apple trying to flush out who is leaking internal information to these people ?

 

[nfl46]

ill be focused on Fantasy Football by then ?

Lol. That’s if we have a football season, with the rate of these 20-30 years old catching Covic-19.

 

[snow755]

I say we all wait tell Monday and see what really happens no need too get worked up over nothing this is only leaks right now so I would wait tell Monday and see ohs right and oh is wrong

 

[BWhaler]

this is good news.

apple need to focus on their Software mess.

remember Sony in the 90’s? Amazing hardware. Junk software. and Now they are a has been except for the PlayStation. Lost computing. Lost mobile. Lost electronics.

Apple needs to step up its software game.

 

[Homme]

And

WWDC has a lot of the times been about software

Not surprising indeed

 

[TVreporter]

Disappointing - I get they like having hands-on reviewers for hardware but at this time that’s not possible.

How about toss up a photo of something new with “Coming next month.”

 

[Northgrove]

Bah. It's a developer's conference. Sure, dev oriented gear like Mac Pro can be interesting but it was never a primarily consumer oriented show at the very least. More time for iOS 14!

 

[David1964]

Suits me.I can’t afford any new hardware at the moment.Saving my money for the iPhone 12 Pro Max,or whatever they decide to call it.
