– WWDC 2023 is set for June 10-14 with a focus on developers for Apple’s operating systems
– Anticipated announcements include updates to iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, and WatchOS, as well as potential new Macs and developments around VisionOS
– Apple’s AI plans, including generative AI offerings and potential Google Gemini partnership for iPhone, will likely be a major focus at the event
Apple’s SVP Greg Joswiak has confirmed that the company’s World Wide Developer Conference will take place from June 10-14. The event, focused on developers for Apple’s operating systems, will feature panels and workshops on various ecosystems, including big announcements around iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, and WatchOS. Updates to Apple Silicon and new Macs are also expected, along with a focus on the Vision Pro headset and its VisionOS operating system.
The conference is expected to showcase Apple’s artificial intelligence ambitions, following CEO Tim Cook’s promise of “groundbreaking innovation” on the most recent earnings call. The event may also provide details on a rumored Google Gemini partnership for the iPhone, with iOS 18 rumored to be a major update, including AI tools to manage daily life. Apple has emphasized its commitment to developers and students, with a special event at Apple Park on opening day.
Despite the anticipation for major announcements, the conference will be scaled down compared to pre-pandemic years at the San Jose Convention Center. The announcement comes shortly after the Department of Justice announced a lawsuit against Apple over claims of monopolistic practices related to the iPhone. Overall, the WWDC promises to be an exciting event with a focus on AI, new developments in operating systems, and potential partnerships in the tech industry.
