Apple today announced the date for this year’s World Wide Developer Conference 2020 (WWDC) via a press release.
WWDC 2020 will be held digitally for the first time this year. The reason for this is the current COVID-19 pandemic. While the developer conference traditionally took place in early June, WWDC 2020 will be held online this year on June 22nd. This is stated in the press release:
Cupertino, California — Apple today announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference will be held virtually in the Apple Developer app and on the Apple Developer website, free to all developers, beginning June 22. The company also announced the Swift Student Challenge, an opportunity for student developers to show their love of coding by building their own Swift playground. Now in its 31st year, WWDC offers 20 million creative and innovative developers around the world the opportunity to gain early access to the future of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS and learn from Apple engineers as they work to build apps that enrich the lives of Apple customers around the world.
Presentation of iOS 14 and more expected
Im Rahmen der WWDC werden in der Regel neue Betriebssysteme vorgestellt. In diesem Jahr werden iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, watchOS 7 sowie macOS 10.16 erwartet. Welche Neuerungen die aktualisierten Betriebssysteme bringen, bleibt natürlich bis zur offiziellen Ankündigung offen. Doch eine Reihe von iOS 14 Leaks haben bereits einige Features enthüllt. Welche davon am Ende tatsächlich präsentiert werden, bleibt natürlich abzuwarten. Übrigens – wusstet ihr, dass Apple die WWDC intern einfach nur “Dub Dub” nennt? Die Bezeichnung wird im englischen von “double-u” abgeleitet. Also, die nächste “Dub Dub” kann kommen! Alle bisherigen Leaks rund um iOS 14 und watchOS 7 könnt ihr in unserem archive remove.
