What to expect at WWDC 2022: iOS 16, M2, and more
June 6 marks the beginning of Apple's annual developer conference, WWDC. The weeklong event will kick off with a keynote at 10 am PST on Monday loaded with announcements about new software features across Apple's various platforms.
For the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic started, there will be a significant in-person audience for WWDC, too. And there will be countless sessions during the week on programming APIs, Swift features, and so on. But for most people around the world, new operating systems and hardware announcements are the main draw—and we'll see a few of those during the keynote on Monday.
It's important to note that WWDC isn't typically focused on product announcements for consumers. It's a place where Apple introduces new technologies and tools to developers. Over the years, there have been some exceptions, and while new announcements for developers are typically about software, they're sometimes about hardware, too. Any new hardware will likely be Mac desktops or laptops or new categories that Apple wants developers to start supporting.
