Apple will host the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2022 from June 6 to June 10, the tech giant has confirmed.
The annual developer event is Apple’s biggest show. The event for developers will be hosted virtually this year, with Apple showcasing glimpses of new iOS 16 features to be released later this year for the iPhone 14 Series and other models.
Apple uses the WWDC platform to showcase its latest innovations in iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It also gives developers access to Apple engineers and technologies for ideas to create apps and interactive experiences. Apple is expected to showcase the new iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16 at the WWDC 2022.
“WWDC22 invites developers from around the world to come together to explore how to bring their best ideas to life and push the envelope of what’s possible,” Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations and Enterprise and Education Marketing Susan Prescott said.
