I am anxious to see if the new Apple Silicon Mac Pro gets announced at WWDC. Who else is excited for the Mac Pro release announcement?
Think about all the gas you could buy for the price difference of an Apple car and a nice, modestly priced ICE car.
We've already had a Mac Pro teaser (of sorts) so seems possible they will debut it at WWDC, maybe with a few months wait until it ships?
Yup. For those of us in music/audio Monterey is barely supported as is... Please, please, Apple, don't add any new hurdles for developers on this one! Release a new Cali landmark name and a few emojis if you need to, but leave the OS as is so devs can actually make it useful.Just skip a year of iOS and macOS versions and just refine the current MacOS and iOS for another year.
This is what they did with Monterey and iOS 15.Just skip a year of iOS and macOS versions and just refine the current MacOS and iOS for another year.
As a developer, I want some solid updates to frameworks to work better with SwiftUI. I’ve moved over to SwiftUI for my apps but many of the frameworks desperately need to work better with SwiftUI. I also want to see some major iPadOS news. Considering 3 of their 5 iPad offerings now offer the power of M1, it would be great to see more, better ways to leverage that power on iPads.
For hardware, I think we’ll definitely see the Mac Pro, and I even anticipate a release date shortly afterward. I think it’s about 50-50 that we’ll hear about M2. I actually think we won’t get any M2 news for another year so that M1 can have some breathing room. M1 hasn’t been on the market for even 2 years yet and I imagine that Apple will want to exploit the M1 popularity a little longer. I also think an M2 announcement warrants an event, and WWDC 2023 is the perfect place for an announcement.

I still believe Apple AR/VR headset will be unveiled at WWDC.
It makes a lot of sense, since it'll involve thousands of developers.

If I remember correctly, these last couple years they sent out the invites for WWDC pretty early.
I feel like SwiftUI 1.0 was a huge revolution, but 2.0 and 3.0 were small iterations. I also expect a lot from 4.0, we should not have to rely on UIKit anymore, that's the end goal of SwiftUI.
I'm very curious whether they'll do anything significant on the ML front this year—and by ML I do literally mean learning, i.e., training, not just inference. Trying to even find an RTX card to buy is a nightmare, and the better ML ones are $$$$. Apple now has these monster machines, with high core counts, fast GPUs, and the Neural Engine—not to mention Swift itself being differentiable (i.e. for online learning)—but the state of ML on macOS hasn't done anything. So it seems like "the stage is set" for great things, so to speak, and WWDC would be a great place to announce something exciting... ?
Of course, I do get that PyTorch/Tensorflow and Nvidia (CUDA)/Google (TPU) kind of have the market cornered. But surely there are still innovative ways to leverage the new hardware for ML tasks.

Bug fixes and stability is going to be the main focus. I’m sure Apple has been working hard
This is so needed. Since iOS 14 the Home screen has become so confusing. I just use search now to find and open apps.
I expect a new version of Metal to be announced. With all these new Macs and large GPU counts, I expect them to make some pretty serious optimizations. Just a guess.
Nothing about home screen icons has changed in almost a decade unless you changed the way you're using it. If you're confused, just go back the the old way you used it.

With Angela gone, I hold out hope for the retune of in-person experiences.If they don’t hold any more in person events, I’d have attended the last in person event
I still think killing at-store queueing for product releases was when Apple changed the most. And not for the better. Stripped the community of what made it so special: community. At that point, it became just like any other faceless tech company with zero energy.
Shame.
That said, in-person WWDC will return at some point.

Isn’t a bit early? Anyways, really excited to see what improvements in security and stability come from the next operating systems.
I’m currently switching my apps to use SwiftUI and only access UIKit when necessary. It’s still better than UIKit which was an absolute nightmare to learn (I almost quit making apps because UIKit updates could be so difficult). This year Apple Map’s is 10 years old and I am hoping for some major updates to MapKit for SwiftUI. This really should be the year of SwiftUI becoming the primary way to make apps.
So here's a question- When do they change the naming schemes? At a certain point, iOS 42.5.1 is going to seem silly. I think they go up until iOS 20, then change it.
Wish we could see what Apple topics will be for the developers sessions for WWDC 2022. Right now after all the OS updates went out March 14th, it’s exceedingly quiet with what’s next OS wise.
I expect that to be the mythical quad M1 Max. But as much as some like to see something like that, WWDC 2022 should be dedicated to making more native enhanced software available that attracts new users to MacOS, and disposing of the rigid GUI on iOS/iPadOS.
