With WWDC 2022 nearly here, here’s what we expect Apple to announce at the keynote.
We’re mere days away from the Apple WWDC 2022 developer conference, which begins Monday, June 6 — and promises to offer Apple fans around the world a tantalizing taste of new stuff. We’re expecting the company to announce iOS 16, macOS 13, and key updates for its iPhone, iPad, Watch, and Mac products. The keynote conference where these updates will most likely be announced has been confirmed for June 6 (opens in new tab), and TechRadar will be there (in the flesh and in person!) to cover the even and all the hottest updates as they arrive. But as with the last two years, WWDC (opens in new tab) will be mostly remote, after a one-day event where developers will be able to watch the keynote, and talk to Apple representatives. Unlike Google, Apple transformed its WWDC conference into a fully online event in 2020 due to the pandemic, rather than canceling it. Some were hoping to see a mix of remote and in-person events, similar to this year’s Google IO, but Apple is understandably playing it safe for 2022. We anticipate that CEO Tim Cook will kick off the keynote, which starts at 10AM PDT / 6PM GMT on June 6, which will be free to stream. We won’t know officially until the June 6 keynote what Apple intends to show off, but that’s not stopping us from contemplating what we hope and expect to see from the company. Below, we predict Apple’s software and hardware lineup for WWDC 2022, and explain how the virtual event will work. June 3: iPadOS 16 could make your iPad even more like a laptop, apparently allow app resizing and moving, thanks to floating, windowed apps. June 3: We’re expecting a new Watch OS 9, but what will be in it? Hopefully, far more fitness features. June 2: Leaked photos all but confirm the iPhone 14 Max — and it fits really well into the company’s lineup. June 2: the iPhone 14 might be delayed due to pandemic related supply chain issues. Is that a problem, though? A delay could change the way you buy a new iPhone. May 30: An Apple AR/VR headset probably won’t launch at WWDC 2022 – but it should show up. Here’s why. Apple revealed that its developer conference will take place from Monday, June 6 through Friday, June 10. Apple regularly schedules its annual five-day conference for June, so it wasn’t a surprise to see WWDC around this time again.
