Apple Inc. has eventually confirmed what the company's digital personal assistant Siri had revealed earlier. The Cupertino tech titan will hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) from June 13 to 17 in San Francisco.
Interestingly, Siri informed iPhone users on Monday regarding WWDC 2016 dates, and it was confirmed by Apple several hours later. The company disclosed that the this year the event will be hosted in the Moscone Center in city center of San Francisco in addition to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, which is located roughly a mile away. Incidentally, it is the same place where Apple launched the iPhone 6S, iPad Pro and the most recent edition of Apple TV in September 2015, Time reported.
While the WWDC is always more focused on developers, normally it entails the first look at the major software updates that would be coming later in the year. Going by Apple's past records, this June fans are likely to witness the launch of iOS 10, in addition to updates to WatchOS and tvOS. It is also expected that the iPhone manufacturer will utilize the event to perhaps even unveil the Apple Watch 2.
Although Apple did not reveal specific details regarding the June event, it has confirmed that developers may hope to learn about the prospects of four software platforms of Apple, namely iOS, watchOS, OS X, and tvOS, The Guardian reported.
The company has also announced that developers keen to attend the event will be required to pay $1,599 for each ticket for which they need to apply via the official website of WWDC until 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, April 22. Subsequently, tickets will be issued via a lottery process, and the winning developers will be notified April 25.
Most of the happenings at the WWDC sessions will be streamed live, which will be available through the WWDC website in addition to apps dedicated to WWDC. This also includes the live-streaming of the opening keynote at 10 a.m. PDT. Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to deliver the keynote.
Meanwhile, contrary to the expectations of many, Apple is certain not to update its new MacBook at the June event, as the company released new versions only this Tuesday.
