As Apple's WWDC 2024 draws near, we all wonder about the announcement date for the event, traditionally revealed around this time. This year, significant improvements are anticipated, with a special focus on artificial intelligence. Let's explore when the event date might be announced and what updates we expect.
The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) by Apple is one of the most awaited events in the technology calendar, bringing together developers from around the globe to see the latest software innovations from the company. And with the 35th edition of the WWDC scheduled for June 2024, we are nearing the event announcement date.
Possible Dates for WWDC 2024
Historically, Apple has chosen March or April to announce the dates for its developers conference, and this year seems to be no exception. Based on past announcements, speculation suggests that the announcement date for WWDC 2024 could fall between Tuesday, March 26, and Tuesday, April 2.
And while the official confirmation is just around the corner, we can also deduce that the most likely dates for this year's event will be from June 3 to June 7. The first week of June has traditionally been the period chosen for the WWDC.
Potential Announcements at WWDC 2024
The WWDC is not only a key event for developers but also a crucial moment for all technology enthusiasts and professionals, eagerly awaiting updates on operating systems and potential hardware announcements.
This year, Apple is expected to unveil iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, visionOS 2, and the 18th update for HomePod software. The new operating system for our phones, iOS 18, which, as far as we know, will be compatible with all these iPhone models, may take inspiration from visionOS and even include the use of Google's Gemini, seems to mark the beginning of a revolutionary innovation in artificial intelligence.
From creating videos from text, editing images with voice commands to Siri, automating software development with Xcode, and more, several of these AIs have already been confirmed and patented. In fact, in Tim Cook's own words, it's clear that Apple is "investing a tremendous amount of time and effort (even with the help of ChatGPT) in the development of artificial intelligence technology" to empower the system's native applications.
All the new features will be released as betas to developers immediately following the main event. And, usually after a month, the software will become available as a public beta before its official worldwide release in September. Furthermore, at WWDC 2024, beyond software updates, we may also see hardware announcements, especially for the Mac Studio, Mac mini, and Mac Pro with M3 chips.
As the clock ticks towards the usual announcement dates, anticipation for Apple's WWDC 2024 continues to grow. With promises of significant software updates and the possibility of new hardware announcements, this year's edition promises to be a unique event for the global tech community. So, we'll stay tuned for the official confirmation of its dates.
