It’s almost the end of the developer conference season and Apple is the last to arrive. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, is expected to be ready with ads for iOS, macOS, iPad OS, and the rest of the software that maintains the walled garden. fresh—even the pro vision.
Five ridiculously obvious arguments to prove that the Earth is not flat
unlike Last year’s WWDC, expect little in terms of physical devices. The Vision Pro has come and gone, and now it’s time to talk about “Apple Intelligence.” What has Apple planned for its AI developers, especially with rumors about all the partnerships happening behind the scenes? We will know very soon.
When and where to watch WWDC
WWDC will take place June 10-14 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. We will be there for the start of the keynote address. in person, although you can follow it online. After the event, people who cannot attend the conference can attend sessions at Apple website.

What will Apple announce at WWDC?
AI: Apple Intelligence
There are rumors that WWDC is shaping up to be disappointing Compared to last year’s red carpet launch of the Vision Pro. That’s only if you’re not interested in AI. The biggest AI infusion—sorry, Apple Intelligence—will happen iOS18.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who everyone flocks to for a hint of what’s next from Apple, saying that this would be a recovery year for the iPhone’s AI operating system. Don’t expect it to be that way as open like what Google is incorporating into the Android operating system. But wait for it to be there. Apple Intelligence will be separate from chatbot, which is rumored which will be launched in partnership with OpenAI. Its features will be marketed as Samsung Galaxy AI on Android devices, with assisted writing, photo editing, and summarizing tools. (I wonder if Apple asked Google for help with that.)
iOS 18 will put a lot of emphasis on customization, which seems to have been from Apple modus operandi as it allows users to modify the lock screen with dynamic elements. The gossip is that the iOS 18 home screen will improve in malleability, including the ability to place icons and widgets anywhere you like instead of relying on the icon rail. There could even be redesigned widgets to enjoy in the Control Center. iOS 18 can also get a handy password manager for the operating system that will make suites like LastPass and 1Password redundant.
Green bubble, are you awake?
The green bubbles aren’t going anywhere, but we hope they work better with the iPhone’s messaging protocol. Apple adoption RCSthe obligatory successor to SMS and MMS thanks to Google, will help improve messages between friends on different platforms.
A Vision Pro upgrade
The Vision Pro cannot generate so much direction like when it first launched in February, but WWDC will share part of the stage with VR/AR headsets. We’ll probably get another update on headset sales and a peak at what developers can play on Vision OS. Don’t expect second-generation hardware. It’s only been four months.
The Calculator App for iPad
Those of you who have been die-hard iPad users from the beginning have probably encountered a situation where you have needed to add and subtract numbers from each other, only to discover that Apple never released a calculator app for your tablet users. Hopefully this year’s WWDC finally debut an official Apple calculator app.
The iPad OS 18 will share a lot of other DNA with iOS 18, especially those related to Apple Intelligence, perhaps even more due to the larger screen and M chip on the screen. iPad Pro models. One expected feature is an accessibility option that allows people to control the iPad with eye tracking. Manzana softly announced capacity last month, along with haptic music and vocal shortcuts. We’ll get the full picture at WWDC.
What’s new in macOS?
Typically, WWDC has few features for Mac and many features for mobile devices. However, since AI is the name of the game, Apple will probably have a lot to say about how MacOS will interpret it all.
Plus, this will be a great year for System configuration. I’m starting to think that Apple is encouraging its users by fixing some of the simple parts of its ecosystem before introducing it. all that AI. Will it make it more appealing to users? Time will tell after WWDC.
Find out more soon
watchOS 11 and tvOS 18 will receive minor mentions during the keynote. We don’t expect significant updates to the Apple Watch or Apple TV software. But we expect quality of life improvements on those platforms in particular. Stay tuned because we’ll cover it all starting at WWDC 2024. .
