The upcoming Apple event for developers will be hosted virtually for the third year in a row and will be livestreamed via official channels. Exact details about what Apple is unveiling at the event are yet to be officially revealed. But the company is expected to announce next-generation software updates like iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9, tvOS 16, and more. Apple is likely to unveil updates for HomePod as well as AirPods.
Apple on Tuesday shared an invitation for its WWDC 2022 event. The event will be held virtually from June 6 to June 10, with free attendance for all developers. "Building on the success of the past two years of virtual events, WWDC22 will showcase the latest innovations in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, while giving developers access to Apple engineers and technologies to learn how to create groundbreaking apps and interactive experiences," said Apple in its blog post.
On the first day of the event, Apple will host a special day for developers and students at Apple Park to watch the keynote and State of the Union videos together, along with the online community. Apart from this, Apple will start accepting submissions for this year's Swift Student Challenge from April 25, where young developers are given an opportunity to showcase their coding skills in Swift programming language by creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on a topic of their choice.
