WWDC Invites Could Be Sent Out This Week: Here's What We Know

[MacRumors]

In 2021, Apple sent out digital invitations for its 32nd Worldwide Developers Conference in late March. Given that an all-digital conference is expected to occur again this year rather than an in-person event, we could see Apple send invitations as soon as this week.

Apple last year sent out invitations to developers and the press for WWDC on March 30, with the dates of the conference being June 7 to June 11. During the conference, Apple announced iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey, watchOS 8, and more.

Apple used to hold its Worldwide Developers Conference in the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, but since 2020, all of Apple's events have been digital with no in-person attendance. It's unclear when the next in-person Apple event might be, but it's likely not to be WWDC this coming June.

During WWDC, Apple will announce iOS and iPadOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9, and possibly some new hardware. Apple last announced hardware during WWDC in 2019, when it unveiled the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. Apple is working on an updated version of the Mac Pro with Apple silicon which could be announced during WWDC.

Any chance they'll announce an update to the Mac mini in june?

 

[now i see it]

You are cordially invited to an event you can not attend

 

[MayaUser]

For sure next week, probably Monday or Tuesday

 

[jz0309]

maybe they'll surprise us and will announce that they will focus on bug fixes and stability?????

 

[lukematch]

If it’s a virtual event, we probably won’t see invites until the week before, won’t we?

 

[calstanford]

Why does a virtual thing need invitations?

 

[Bug-Creator]

Any chance they'll announce an update to the Mac mini in june?

Well there is a chance I'll win the Lottery despite me not buying a ticket...


Nah, lots of talk about the next versions of ____os and maybe a teaser for the MacPro and some oddball like a HomePod or AppleTV.

 

[oofio2461]

I Hope the iPhone 6s is still supported on Ios 16. Still Works great and has no slowdown at all when I'm using it.

 

[B-Mc-C]

June 8th is the date the Studio Display with height adjustable stand becomes available in Apple Stores, so I am believing Ross Young about the mini-LED version launching in June.

 

[contacos]

Let ?? me ?? put ?? my ?? damn ?? app ?? icons ?? anywhere ?? on ?? the ?? home screen

Does Android have a patent for that or something?!?

 

[sniffies]

Hopefully they will announce Apple Car at the event too, so that I don't have to buy gas anymore. 🙏

 

[JosephAW]

Just skip a year of iOS and macOS versions and just refine the current MacOS and iOS for another year.

 

[Kylo83]

I have zero hope in iOS 16 same ui small tweaks not many people will use, the whole team working from home hasn't helped, just like SharePlay I doubt 1% used that this year

 

[Kylo83]

Hate these comments because they don’t mean anything, you do know bugs will always be there, they can keep pushing bug fix updates and bugs will still be there it can never be bug free; I would rather cool features and exciting changes and still have bugs, 3 months beta testing and it’s still full of bugs

 

[ct2k7]

If they don’t hold any more in person events, I’d have attended the last in person event

 

[darngooddesign]

Any chance they'll announce an update to the Mac mini in june?

Yes. You can 100% count on Apple doing that...unless they don't.

 

[MacGizmo]

Hopefully they will announce Apple Car at the event too, so that I don't have to buy gas anymore. ?

It will be cheaper to buy gas. A LOT cheaper! ?

 

[zorinlynx]

Any chance they'll ever go back to in-person events? The pandemic is winding down in the US, travel is opening up again. Might be time soon.

June 8th is the date the Studio Display with height adjustable stand becomes available in Apple Stores, so I am believing Ross Young about the mini-LED version launching in June.

This report’s the same thing that came to my mind when I saw WWDC mentioned in the headline. What I’m most curious about is whether it’ll be just miniLED or miniLED plus ProMotion like the MacBook screens. Did Young say anything about that?

 

[MacGizmo]

I predict absolutely no new hardware at all. In fact, I think they won't even talk about the Mac Pro. They just announced and started shipping the most powerful Mac in history... I can't imagine they want to kill potential sales to pros who are interested in buying one by telling them the Mac Pro is coming soon or even what it'll run like.

I'm guessing this is a software-only year, and maybe some new/enhanced services.

 

[DesertNomad]

I used to attend WWDC in person when it was at Moscone West in San Francisco. It was a long trip from Europe but the conference was meaningful to a Mac developer. After about 2010 it should have been called IOSDC as it was super focused on iOS. I'd like to go back to an in-person event as the pre-recorded videos are more fluff than substance compared to the days prior to 2007.

Are you serious? Time spent cleaning up code makes a huge difference in the number of bugs in software and the quality of it in general. They released Monterey without features they intended to release until 12.3! They need to calm the f down and stop doing these yearly releases they are doing simply to try and cut off old hardware and generate more sales.

95% of the stuff they release each year in these "OS" updates shouldn't be part of the OS anyways, they should be applications that people can install or not depending if they even want to use them.

 

[abowlby]

I feel like across Apple’s product line iPadOS and WatchOS are the areas with the most opportunity. WatchOS because of health monitoring innovation and iPadOS because of “what are we doing here?”

 

[fwmireault]

This is a long way to say that you don’t know when WWDC will be held
