Apple Announces Dates for Worldwide Developers Conference
Apple announces dates for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Event to showcase software updates for iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices. Select developers and students to attend in-person at Apple Park.
Apple has confirmed that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will take place from June 10 to June 14. The event, which will be available online, will showcase updates to the software powering Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads. In addition, a select group of developers and students will be invited to attend in-person at Apple Park on the opening day.
Investors are eagerly anticipating news on Apple's progress in artificial intelligence (AI) development. The company has been relatively quiet about its incorporation of AI technology into its devices, and this conference could provide some insight into their plans. Earlier this year, Apple lost its title as the world's most valuable company to Microsoft.
Reports suggest that Apple is considering a partnership in the AI space and may introduce significant changes to its iOS. The company is said to be exploring the use of AI technology, such as Google's Gemini, for a chatbot within its operating systems. Additionally, Apple's own AI engine is expected to handle more behind-the-scenes tasks in the new software.
One of the anticipated updates is the customisation of the iPhone home screen in iOS 18. This could potentially be the most significant update to the iPhone operating system in years, offering users more flexibility and personalisation options.
The WWDC comes at a time when iPhone sales are facing challenges, while Mac and iPad sales have also experienced a decline due to a global slump in gadget sales. Apple will likely use this conference as an opportunity to showcase its latest innovations and regain momentum in the market.
Last year's WWDC saw Apple unveil the Vision Pro mixed reality headset, a new core processor, and new computers. Attendees and tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting this year's announcements, hoping for exciting new developments and features from the tech giant.
