WWDC 2019 officially kicks off tomorrow, but as usual, the check-in process began today. Developers have started to pick up their badges and WWDC swag, which this year includes a reversible jacket, an assortment of Apple-themed magnetic pins, a special t-shirt for scholarship winners, and more.

Here's a photo of the check-in area via WWDC 2019 scholar Zach Knox:

Update: Apple is now hosting its WWDC Scholarship Kickoff at the Discovery Meadow park next to the McEnery Convention Center. We're told that Apple executive and WWDC scholar chaperone Esther Hare said 75 percent of WWDC 2019 scholarship winners are first-time scholars.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 13, macOS 10.15, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 at its WWDC keynote tomorrow, and it could have some surprise announcements in store, potentially including a preview of its long-awaited Mac Pro redesign.

MacRumors will have live coverage of the WWDC keynote on our website and on Twitter starting Monday at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple will also be providing a live stream of the keynote on its website.

Are you serious? A Tim Cook Memoji pin? He really thinks he’s a rockstar.

That's what happens when execs staff the managers around them with the candidates that are best at sucking up.

The whole Apple TV studios initiative only exists so Tim can hang out with Oprah.

You do realize that Oprah has a choice in the matter too right. It’s not like Apple pointed a gun to her head and gave her no choice. If you are going to bring up monetary compensation, I believe Oprah has enough and diversified for long term gains, when people reach that level of wealth and success it is to make a change in society.

Most employed people look at each day as survival, the super wealthy have a different mindset, there are exceptions to the rule.

Bracing myself for the hate.. these neon colors have me excited for the new Apple Watch bands. Let the neon begin.

Conference swag was always a waste for me. It always includes stuff I’d either never wear, use, or even keep in most cases. The stuff in this kit seems like no exception. If I got one of these, I’d probably sell it on eBay.
 
Seeing all the WWDC signage it makes me wonder if certain native apps will have different accent colors for dark mode. Like Music would be pink, maybe another app turquoise, etc. maybe the colors overall will be more vibrant? And I wonder what they’ll do for non OLED devices? Will they get dark mode? If they do will it be true blacks?

That’s not Tim Cook. It’s a customized pin for the attendee.

This is Tim Cook’s Memoji:

You’re one of those people who are so ready to criticize Tim Cook for anything that everything you see is skewed to be an attack on Cook.

Dude, your confirmation bias is showing and you’ve been outed.
