What is Apple’s WWDC? 

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is an event that is held annually by Apple and it showcases the latest software and product innovations from Apple. The event is usually held in June and is open to developers from around the world.

WWDC 2023 will be held from June 5-9, 2023, at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. The keynote address will be held on Monday, June 5, at 10:00 a.m. PT.

Apple is expected to announce new versions of its operating systems, including iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, and tvOS 17. 

Here is what the Newsroom states “Free for all developers, WWDC23 will spotlight the latest iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS advancements.”

The company is also rumored that it will announce new hardware, such as a new MacBook Air. 

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reported that Apple may launch a new 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 SoC. The laptop would have similar features to the existing 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 but with a larger body and a metal chassis. It would also have a non-touch LED display.
