Title: Apple event calendar: The next event is WWDC in June Post by: HCK on March 14, 2022, 04:05:10 pm Apple event calendar: The next event is WWDC in June
<div id="link_wrapped_content"> <body><section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section><p><strong>Updated 03/11/22:</strong> With the “Peek Performance” spring event (https://www.macworld.com/article/620765/apple-march-8-peek-performance-event-everything-announced.html) behind us, the next major Apple event this year will be WWDC in June.</p> <p>Apple doesn’t often participate in big industry-wide events like CES or E3. The most valuable company in the world holds its own events, thank you very much. Several times a year, Apple invites the press and industry professionals out to a theater (or a computer screen) to hear all about its latest products and services. Apple calls these “Special Events,” and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://apple.co/2Po9l5o&xcust=1-1-230957-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed">streams them online[/url] to its millions of fans.</p> <p>There’s also WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, a multi-day event in the middle of the year focused on sessions for developers, helping them make the most out of the latest Apple tools and products. It kicks off with a big keynote that serves to announce new products (typically the latest versions of iOS and macOS, as well as a few hardware products).</p> <p>This article will be updated periodically as we get a clearer picture of when Apple will hold its yearly events, and which products it may introduce. Apple is a very secretive company, and the leaks and rumors about its products are often wrong. Bear that it mind: you never really know what Apple is going to do until the company makes a public announcement!</p> <div class="promo_wrap"><div class="top_head"><p class="pro_tag">PROMOTION</p><p><strong>Want the new iPhone?</strong></p></div><div class="promo_row"><div class="pro_right promotion-item__image-outer-wrapper--small"><img class="promotion-item__image" src="" loading="lazy" /></div><p class="promo_text"> </p><p>Sell your phone and upgrade to the new iPhone with Decluttr!

We expect WWDC 2022 to land in the June 6-10 week, though the 13-17 is a possibility.</p> <p>Apple always reveals its new operating systems at WWDC. This year, that means: iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16. </p> <p>New hardware sometimes makes an appearance at WWDC as well, and it’s usually the stuff that developers care most about: “Pro” model Macs. New MacBook Pro models were just announced in late 2021, but the Mac Pro desktop could make an appearance, as could a new Mac mini (a favorite product among developers).</p> <p>We just got a surprise release of the Mac Studio and Studio Display, but we might see M2-based Mac minis (https://www.macworld.com/article/347466/2022-mac-mini-design-processsor-price-release.html) and the long-awaited update of the MacBook Air (https://www.macworld.com/article/346119/2022-macbook-air-specs-design-processor-price-release.html). Some say that Apple is gearing up for a new mini-LED backlit display (https://www.macworld.com/article/621817/studio-display-pro-mini-led-promotion-wwdc.html) as well.</p> <h2 id="september-2022-iphones-and-apple-watch">September 2022: iPhones and Apple Watch</h2> <p>September is the month when Apple announces new iPhones and a new Apple Watch. We expect the iPhone 14 (https://www.macworld.com/article/352696/2022-iphone-14-rumors-specs-design-release-date.html) to offer a somewhat new design, and of course better performance and cameras. The Apple Watch Series 8 (https://www.macworld.com/article/544526/if-the-apple-watch-series-7-doesnt-wow-you-this-series-8-rumor-will.html) could bring the design changes we expected in 2021 but didn’t get, like flat edges and additional colors. There’s also talk of potentially expanding the Watch line to three sizes.</p> <h2 id="october-november-2022-additional-products">October/November 2022: Additional products</h2> <p>Of course, Apple has plenty of other products to keep us up to date on. 2022 could see a new AirPod Pro update, Apple TV, a new MacBook Air (https://www.macworld.com/article/346119/2022-macbook-air-specs-design-processor-price-release.html), and of course a new version of the iPad or iPad mini.</p> <p>Any of these products could come in an October or November event. Apple has a number of services now–Apple TV+, Fitness+, iCloud+, Music, News, and Arcade–and major improvements to them can be announced at any time. Of course, there’s also room for new products, like the AR/VR headset we keep hearing about but never seems to materialize. We’ll have a better idea of what to expect from a year-end event as 2022 progresses.</p> <h2 id="awards-and-honors">Awards and honors</h2> <p>Apple has given out app awards for years, but 2019 was the first time there was an actual ceremony for such. The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://developer.apple.com/app-store/best-of-2019/&xcust=1-1-230957-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed">Best of 2019 app awards[/url] were held at a small December event in New York, with mostly the nominated developers and some press in attendance. It was not streamed online.</p> <p>Also for the first time in 2019, Apple held an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/12/apple-announces-first-ever-apple-music-awards/&xcust=1-1-230957-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed">awards ceremony for Apple Music[/url]. There was a live-streamed performance by Artist of the Year Billie Elish as part of it, the event as a whole was kept mostly to the music industry. In 2020, these events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Awards were still given, but there was no event. </p> </body></div> Source: Apple event calendar: The next event is WWDC in June (https://www.macworld.com/article/230957/apples-event-calendar-when-is-the-next-apple-event.html) |
