Apple’s 31st Worldwide Developers Conference will be a digital-only event in 2020, with no physical gathering planned due to the ongoing global health crisis.
The virtual event starts a little later in the month than usual, on June 22, and is free for anyone. As with previous years, Apple is kicking off WWDC with a keynote on the first day, offering a look at some upcoming products and providing the first details on new operating systems.
Rumors have suggested we could potentially see a new redesigned iMac and an announcement about Apple’s planned shift to Arm-based Macs . We’re also expecting a first-look at next-generation versions of macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS.
