Previews of Apple’s next operating systems will likely dominate the Worldwide Developers Conference, which will be virtual again this year.
Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference runs June 7 to 11 and will take place entirely online just like last year’s. The biggest WWDC news is expected to happen the first day, as part of a keynote with previews of Apple’s next operating systems, likely iOS 15, iPadOS 15, MacOS 12, WatchOS 8 and TVOS 15. There could also be hardware news, like a follow-up to Apple’s M1 chip and new “pro” Macs. M-series processors, designed by Apple, were announced at WWDC 2020 and are a key part of the company’s transition away from Intel processors in Macs.
The five days of virtual sessions come under the shadow of the pandemic. WWDC will use them to show off previews for the next operating systems for your iPhone, Mac and other Apple devices and give software developers early access to explore new features with the help of Apple engineers.
Apple’s announcement for WWDC came with a picture and animation of a Memoji character looking at an opened MacBook. The image is a nod to memes that popped up after Apple’s November event for Macs where the company’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi showed off how Macs with the M1 chip can instantly wake up. The video was underscored by the Barry White song Playing Your Game, Baby and was appropriately cheesy.
