Apple’s online-only WWDC 2020 starts June 22
Today, Apple announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) for 2020 will kick off on June 22. That's later than usual, and the company had previously let developers and press outlets know that this event will be held exclusively online.
The online-only format is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to the cancellation or virtualization of all kinds of industry events, including Mobile World Congress, Google's I/O conference, and the Game Developers Conference. The late start date might also be related.
Access to this year's conference will be free to all Apple developers. Videos of all the sessions, plus any related documentation, have been offered through Apple's website and apps to active developer accounts in previous years, too. It's unclear what, if anything, Apple will do differently with this conference in addition to livestreaming the sessions online and making the videos available.
