Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) returns online this year from June 6-10.
Free for all developers, the week-long event includes information sessions, learning labs, digital lounges, and workshops to help solve problems, discuss ideas, and learn about the latest operating system updates on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS.
We’re also rumored to get a glimpse of a new lightweight MacBook Air laptop, slated for release later this year. And, as Digital Trends suggests, there’s a “remote possibility” of Apple unveiling a larger iMac or iMac Pro.
This is Apple’s third virtual conference, first brought online in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. A handful of developers and students, meanwhile, will have the chance to meet in person at Apple Park on June 6 to watch the conference keynote and State of the Union videos together. Space is limited; details of the application process will be revealed “soon” on the Apple Developer site and app.

Also for the third year, Apple will host its Swift Student Challenge at WWDC, challenging young people around the world to create a Swift Playgrounds app project “on a topic of their choosing.” The submission deadline is Sunday, April 24 at 11:59 p.m. PT (Monday, April 25 at 2:59 a.m. EST).
