We have specific date for WWDC 2020 of this year that Apple will organize in June. It will be the first time that it will be fully developed virtually. As you know, a few months ago the American company warned that it would be done this way by the global pandemic caused by the coronavirus. It seemed that we were a long way from June, but as we are seeing, there is little left and things have not improved much.
Sign up and put a reminder on the calendar of the date that has already been officially announced. Next June 22, Monday, developers have an appointment in front of their Mac or iPad.
On June 22, Apple's WWDC 2020 will take place. A conference a little different from the others that have occurred in other years. Will be entirely online, as Tim Cook announced in March.
The event will be broadcast on the site Web that Apple has for developers as well as the exclusive application for them. Normally the company charges a ticket, but this year, because it will be totally online, the event will be free.
It is expected that this WWDC will present iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, tvOS 14 and the next version of macOS, which would be macOS 10.16; It is also more than likely that some new hardware devices will also be presented at the event.
WWDC 2020 will be the largest to date. It will bring together our global community of developers, more than 23 million, in an unprecedented way and for a week in June to learn about the future of Apple platforms. We can't wait to get together online in June with the global developer community and share with them all the new tools we've been working on to help them build even more amazing apps and services. We look forward to sharing more details about WWDC20 with everyone as we get closer to this exciting event.
HomePod 2 and AirTag presentation at the event?
Apart from the news in software, we can see, as we said before, some new devices. We may be introduced to the new HomePod and AirTags.
We have already seen the launch of the new iPhone, new iPad Pro with new keyboard and new 13 ”MacBook Pro, so we have new smart speakers and the famous and controversial AirTag.
There is less to know. A month and a half and we will be ready to tell you everything that is happening at the developer conference.
Some news in this WWDC: The date and the students
This WWDC is also special due to the dates on which it occurs. Normally it takes place at the beginning of June. However, this time it is delayed until almost late. It may be because this year's logistics is more complicated and they must provide monumental online support for so many developers.
Another novelty that we can highlight is that this time young programmers they will continue to play a leading role. In the absence of physical WWDC, it was speculated that the scholarship awarded to young women could be in jeopardy.
Apple has ruled out this extreme and has stated that the winner of the Swift Student Challenge will continue to be eligible for that scholarship to help you develop your program.
The youngest can apply and continue participating in the student challenge. Apple emphasizes that the talent of young developers will not go unnoticed. The winners they will get an exclusive WWDC jacket along with a set of pins.
Clearly life goes on although with some changes. We will return to the life we had before, but it will cost us a bit. Meanwhile we will continue to carry out our lives even if it is telematically. Now we realize the importance that the Internet and quality devices have, when faced with a life without physical approaches.
