WWDC 2011 Set for June 6th-10th

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that it will hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) from June 6th-10th at the Moscone West convention center in San Francisco. Conference passes are on sale now for $1599, and are expected to sell out quickly given past years' trends.

"At this year's conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss."

Apple notes that it will hold over 100 technical sessions for developers, with over 1,000 Apple engineers on hand to provide support for attendees.

Apple unsurprisingly is billing the event as being for both iOS and Mac OS X developers equally, following last year's conference that saw a heavy emphasis on iOS development. Mac OS X is of course set to receive greater prominence this year due to the impending release of Mac OS X Lion.

The dates for WWDC 2011 do in fact nearly correspond to a "corporate meeting" discovered on the Moscone Center's event calendar in early February and suspected of representing the conference. The dates also match with a tentative multi-year convention calendar published by the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau in April 2010.

Good news!

 

[Narrie]

Looking forward!

 

[sniffies]

What are the chances of iPhone 5 going on sale the same week or the week after?

 

[kirky29]

Looking forward to it!

 

[Santabean2000]

Better late than never.

Now, if you could just please announce how far away new minis are...

 

[canyonblue737]

Just the way the title is phrased though it lends support to the rumors that iOS will see a late summer / early fall release as opposed to June/July. We will see.

 

[JS77]

I wish iOS would crawl into a corner and just die...













....I kid, I kid!

Looking forward to this

 

[MonkeySee....]

I can't upgrade my phone untill sept so if they can hold off the release of the iPhone 5 i'd be super greatful

iOS June preview only

This confirms that iOS 5 will be previewed in June and not in April like past years...

 

[talkingfuture]

Can't wait to see what they announce. It would be nice to see a bigger jump than usual for iOS and hopefully a shipping date for Lion.

how does it confirm that ??? apple has previewed things in April, but showcased the whole thing in June in the past.. and this is an announcement for the Showcase.

 

[ojobson]

I guess this event will also see the launch of Lion and an updated iMac?

It really doesn't. WWDC costs over $1000 to attend and devs need to book hotel reservations etc. It's a very big deal for them so they are given enough time to get ready.

 

[iSimx]

Hoping Lion will be launched then!

so no dev previews to get the bugs worked out as well as get devs writing iOS 5 apps for release?

 

[Eduardo1971]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it is sad the Mac OS is mentioned after iOS.

"Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OSX"

That's what I think mate

 

[rhett7660]

^^ Heck I am just glad they mentioned OS X at all!!! Really good news!!

 

[Dr McKay]

Im looking forward to the future of iOS.

If its good enough, I might even unjailbreak, still running 4.2.1 here, Ill miss it though, infinifolder, custom lockscreen, custom sounds.

Hopefully an iOS 5 Jailbreak will release soon after.

 

[rovex]

after all this hype if iOS 5 is just a small improvement that would be ludicrous.

 

[Consultant]

I wonder if the iPhone 5 lines would merge with the iPad 2 lines?

 

[Eduardo1971]

Can't wait to see what they announce. It would be nice to see a bigger jump than usual for iOS and hopefully a shipping date for Lion.

My thoughts exactly. I've been awaiting the SB Lion OS iMacs for the longest time now. I cannot wait-looking forward to any more news on this front!

(Opps. My response was meant as a reply to Post# 13.)

 

[Skika]

I think iOS 5 will really be something

 

[MrVinney96]

From that price, you can better buy a Mac and watch it in QuikTime...
