Not long now until the WWDC 2021 Keynote starts, the event will take place in just a few hours from now at 10:00 AM PDT or 6PM BST (5PM GMT).
Apple will be live streaming their 2021 Worldwide Developers Keynote on their website and also on their YouTube channel.
Software Announcements
The focus of the event will be software with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 being unveiled. iOS 15 is expected to bring a host of new features to enhance user experience, including improvements in notifications, a redesigned lock screen, and new privacy features. iPadOS 15 is anticipated to introduce more advanced multitasking capabilities, allowing users to be more productive on their iPads.
In addition to iOS and iPadOS, we are also expecting a new version of tvOS, which will likely include enhancements for Apple TV users, such as improved content discovery and integration with other Apple services. watchOS is also set to receive an update, potentially bringing new health and fitness tracking features, as well as additional watch faces and customization options.
macOS is another major software update that will be discussed. The new version of macOS is expected to build on the foundation laid by macOS Big Sur, with further refinements to the user interface and performance improvements. There may also be new features aimed at better integration with other Apple devices and services.
Hardware Announcements
As well as software, we are expecting to see some new hardware at the event. This will include some new MacBook Pro notebooks with a new Apple M2 processor. The M2 chip is rumored to offer significant performance improvements over the current M1 chip, with better energy efficiency and enhanced graphics capabilities. The new MacBook Pro models are also expected to feature a redesigned chassis, possibly with a return of some beloved ports like HDMI and an SD card slot.
Additionally, a new Mac Mini with an updated design and the M2 processor is anticipated. The new Mac Mini is expected to be even more compact and powerful, making it an attractive option for both professional and casual users who need a versatile desktop computer.
There have also been rumors about other potential hardware announcements, such as new AirPods or even a refreshed iMac. However, these are less certain and may be saved for a later event.
We will have more details later today when Apple’s event goes live at 10:00 AM PDT or 6:00 PM BST. Stay tuned for a comprehensive breakdown of all the announcements and what they mean for Apple users.
