A keynote has been announced for the start on June 6th, which will be held at Apple Park in Cupertino is sent out. The presentation will reveal news about iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9, tvOS and the like.

Update end

Apple announced the official WWDC 30 date on March 2021th: the developer conference will be held digitally from June 7th to June 11th, 2021. We can only speculate whether there will be new hardware on display at the WWDC21 keynote. However, it is certain that there will be new information about the Apple operating systems. So we can look forward to news about iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS.

Accordingly, this likely content for DubDub 2021 can be recorded:

Apple WWDC 2020

Update 24. June 2020: Apple WWDC 2020 is in full swing, ensuring that developers around the world get ahead with programming their apps and systems. For those who want to optimize their Mac apps for the next generation of hardware, there is even a developer kit in the housing of a Mac mini. But there was also important information for users of Apple devices on Monday at the kick-off keynote. I have documented the Apple WWDC20 keynote for you here in the blog by means of the following posts:

The date for the Apple WWDC 2020 has therefore been set. If you want to follow the keynote and other events / information, there are various ways and means. According to Apple, the best option is the Apple Developer App, which you in the App Store for free for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. She has special stickers for iMessage. If you don't want to install an app or if you want to watch the kick-off event on a Windows PC, a Linux machine or an Android device, then you can watch the live broadcast via YouTube - just like last year. You can find them with this link.

You can find more information currently in the Apple Newsroom as well as on the Developer page the apple company. 

Apple WWDC 2019

Update on WWDC 2019: Here you can find the summary of the keynote

(End of update)

The Apple WWDC 2019 in San Jose at the beginning of June will primarily focus on the new versions of the apple company's four operating systems. In particular, these will be:

• macOS 10.15
• iOS 13
• Watch 6
• TvOS 13

It is also possible that new hardware will be presented during the keynote on June 3, 2019. A new Mac Pro or iMac Pro is just as conceivable as a 16-inch MacBook Pro with a 4K display. Some sources are also predicting a new Apple display with 8K resolution. Due to some registrations of mobile devices with corresponding model numbers, one hears and reads again and again that new iPad models, a new iPad mini and a new iPod Touch could be presented.

I have summarized all the detailed rumors and leaks for you in this post: Apple WWDC 2019 - date, ticket price and what to expect.

Apple WWDC 2018

Update 23.02.2019: You can find a summary of the keynote with this link. You will receive further content, lectures and findings from the congress with the means that I have in this and also in this post have described. Here are the most important contents of the Apple WWDC 2018 as individual messages:

• About macOS 10.14 Mojave
• Data and pictures for the new iOS 12
• Explanations and screenshots of watchOS 5
• New features and functions of the Apple TV 4K

(End of update)

The date for the Apple WWDC18 has now been officially confirmed. Like Apple, among other things, on its own Event page announced, this year's World Wide Developers Conference will take place from June 4th to 8th, 2018 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California:

San Jose, CA, June 4-8
When technology connects with creativity, incredible ideas come to life. This summer, we invite thousands of talented minds from around the world to join us and turn their ideas into reality.

More than 100 sessions with a focus on technology and design will be presented by Apple engineers at WWDC18. This is to help developers from all over the world to create the next generation of apps that use the latest Apple technology. In addition to the workshops, keynotes and presentations, there will also be hands-on labs with Apple employees as well as so-called consultations, i.e. individual appointments at which special topics can be discussed.

The get-togethers, which revolve around a topic and represent a kind of group discussion, run completely differently. There will also be guest appearances by other company representatives. In addition, there is the event “The Bash” for a rather casual exchange, for music, food and drinks. If you want to take part in the Apple WWDC18, you have to register by March 22nd and hope for the chance given to buy a ticket. Apple puts it this way:

The opportunity to buy tickets to WWDC18 is offered by random selection. Registration is open until Thursday, March 22, 2018 at 10:00 am PDT.

In short, it is about "the same procedure as every year", which we were able to see confirmed in 2017. This pattern can also be seen in the WWDC events from 2016, 2015, etc. The WWDC 2018 date could reveal new areas and possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) with the corresponding keynote and the interpretation on developers.

Contents of WWDC 2018 - Here again an overview of the possible topics of this year's World Wide Developers Conference from iPhone with iOS and Mac with macOS to TV with tvOS, the HomePod and cross-platform apps:

• Augmented Reality / AR and Virtual Reality / VR

Apple WWDC 2017

The date for the Apple WWDC 2017 has been set (update: is long over).

The keynote at Apple WWDC 2017 showed what the focus of this year was. If you want detailed information, you will find a list with detailed articles on the individual contents of WWDC 2017 under the short overview in bullet points. Here, however, the focus of iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS to iPad, Mac and Apple Watch:

• tvOS currently has 50 partners and later in 2017 Amazon will be added with all content from Amazon Prime Video
• The Apple Watch gets a new one WATCH, new watch faces, new functions for workout, music, etc. There is also a native core Bluetooth, with which third-party devices (blood glucose meters, fitness devices, etc.) can be coupled

• The new file system APFS used by macOS High Sierra
• iMac and MacBook range will be revised; the iMac Pro late 2017 will be a high-end machine for professional users (High-Resolution VR with 90 fps was demonstrated)
• iOS has been completely redesigned in some places for iPhone and iPad. Messages, Siri, the compression of video and photos, functions for Live Photos, complete functionality for the iPad, new functions for the HomeKit, etc.
• The Apple App Store has been completely redesigned and now provides an infinite amount of information in the three tabs "Today", "Games", and "Apps" (applications)

• For music and Siri at home, the Apple HomePod will be available from the end of 2017 and in Europe from 2018 - a high-end combination of Bluetooth speakers and AI assistance (with A8 CPU!)

 

Individual topics in detail

The list is still short at the moment, as the keynote with Tim Cook and cronies took place only recently (update: the statement is no longer correct). But here is an overview of the details of the news from the Apple World Wide Developers Conference 2017:

• iOS 11 for iPhone and iPad (including videos with demos of the system and programs)
• watchOS 4 with new functions for the Apple Watch
• macOS High Sierra, Mac technology, new iMac and MacBook models
• The new Apple iMac models and the Apple iMac Pro late 2017 (many informative pictures included)

• The Apple HomePod

The pattern of recurring Apple events with news and information about iPhone, iPad, Mac, MacBook, Apple Watch, Apple TV & Co can be seen again in September 2017 in addition to WWDC 2017 in June. There was another one Apple Keynote – In 2017 the iPhone turned 10 years old! Some speculation about the iPhone 2017 (iPhone 8, 10 or X with iOS 11?) was already hotly debated in advance. What rumors and actual innovations are there this year? I am excited!

Apple WWDC 2016

So while we're waiting for WWDC 2018, let's see what has been delivered over the past few years at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference for iOS, iPhone, for the app market, etc. For example, the following news and developments could be caught at WWDC 2016 (date: June 13th - 17th):

Apple WWDC 2015

With great anticipation for WWDC 2018, this Apple conference for developers and the curious seems very out of date again. Nevertheless, the innovations and adjustments in 2015 (date: June 8th - 12th) were just as innovative at the time as this year's keynotes and conferences in June and September will be:

• OS X 10.11 El Capitan comes to Mac, iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Co
