Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple announced WWDC 2021
or the worldwide developer conference for 2021. apple has this event every year usually in June
and this is an event where they show off the upcoming versions of their software so for example
iOS 15. i'll talk more about those in a moment but this event was announced today on their website as
well as they sent out emails to developers and if we take a look at the website you can see
at the top left it says there's an apple logo and says WWDC21 there's a person looking at a
laptop with glasses and a reflection of the date it says glow and behold and below that it says the
apple worldwide developer conference is coming to a screen near you June 7th to the 11th you
can watch this online and usually the first day of the conference June 7th for example is when we'll
have the keynote or the presentation about the upcoming operating systems and products and more
and that takes place normally around 1 pm eastern time or 10 a.m pacific they have not announced
the specific time for that yet but they should announce it fairly soon or they could possibly
announce it as we get closer to that time so if we go into a developer app there's more information
there you can download this for free and under the developer app you can see it says announcing
WWDC21 it gives more information and then it will have more detailed information as
to different keynotes and things in this app so if you go into this apple is also
doing a student coding challenge as you can see here it says now through April 18th
we invite students who love to code to submit their swift playground to this year's swift
student challenge winners will receive exclusive WWDC 21 outerwear and a customized pin set and
if you want to learn more you have to be 13 years of age or older in the united states or i believe
16 in Europe but as you can see if you scroll down there's more information about eligibility
and you can apply if you wanted to do that so that's available just like it is every year
so it's a swift student challenge now along with that apple also updated siri to give us
information about WWDC so if we ask Siri when WWDC is let's see if they've updated it when is WWDC
and we'll see what it says it's taking a moment to respond it says on it and we'll
give it just a moment and hopefully it's been updated with information before filming this
conference you can get all the details and so you can see it's giving us up-to-date
information before filming this it actually talked about the previous year's WWDC so this year it
will be all virtual again hopefully we'll be in person next year but it will be a virtual event
and this year we should expect iOS 15. now iOS 15 is said to have a bunch of new features but
it's from somewhat reliable sources so we'll have to see if it's actually accurate but the exciting
thing is there's not a ton of information about it so some of the things people have said that will
be new in it is a new control center for example a rearranged control center whether or not that's
half the screen again like it used to be or just something completely different is hard to
say but we'll have to wait and see for that also some are saying that we'll have redesigned apps
so we could have a redesigned app store maybe a redesigned settings page as some people have said
that they'll rearrange settings i know for sure i would love to see a rearranged settings page
where they bring all of the options into the app themselves like they did a little bit with
the camera we could have maybe more options within each app that's something i would like to see but
we'll have to wait and see if they actually update this others have said we'll have an
update to notifications as well as an always on display for newer phones as well as maybe
some new icons as well i would welcome updated icons where the icons were a little bit more
or had a little bit more depth to them maybe like macOS Big Sur for example or a combination of the
two that's something i would like to see i know not everybody likes that but i've never never
been a huge fan of flat design for example we should also see iPadOS 15 where some people have
said the widgets will be more customizable and be able to be moved throughout the os right now
they're just stuck to the left it'd be nice to be able to move them around but that's something we
could see as well there's not a whole lot leaked about what ios 15 and ipad os 15 and tv os 15
could bring and i think that's a good thing apple seems to be really locking down their security and
i'm glad to see that we're not seeing everything about it but we may see more before it's leaked
other people are saying that the camera could have more focus on portrait modes where it could have
more advanced portrait modes and maybe a rewrite of that so there's a lot of people saying we could
see a bunch of different things so far i think we're a little far out to see exactly what will
be in it but we should know more hopefully within the next couple of months and of course on the day
apple talks about it now on june 7th we should see ios 15 beta 1 release now for those of you
not familiar with the schedule every year apple releases the beta usually the first day of wwdc
so that would be monday june 7th beta 1 would be out to developers normally it will take some time
before it comes out to public beta testers usually by the time of beta 2 for for example or even beta
3. then a final release to the public wouldn't be until september usually the last two weeks
of september where they announce and release the next iphones with iphone 13 for example
so we could see all of that as well as watch osa and mac os 12 with those announcements and release
so that's a typical timeline apple has every year for those events now as far as hardware to expect
well last year we didn't really have any hardware apple announced apple silicon coming to their max
they later released apple silicon at the end of the year with the mac mini the macbook pro
and the macbook air with m1 chipsets in it but this year apple's continuing that transition
and we have still to see the mac pro the imac for example and in previous years apple has announced
the imac pro on wwdc for example so we could see a new product we could see something just redone
maybe the imac or we may see nothing at all we'll have to wait and see but that could be anything
from a new development of apple glass maybe a new operating system or maybe apple will surprise us
with something completely new which is what i always welcome i would love a rewrite of ios 15
for example so all of those things are what we're waiting for you can expect all of those different
versions to release and maybe some new surprises as well now for those of you that have been asking
me where is ios 14.5 release candidate or beta 6 well at this point i'm thinking that we'll
see maybe beta 6 or release candidate tomorrow or thursday last week we had beta 5 so i would
expect beta 6 or a release candidate this week so far there's no mention of an apple event in april
although quite a few people are saying that there will be one so we're waiting to see if we're going
to have announcements for that then we'll know a more finite date for say the release of ios 14.5
where if we do have an event generally that version would release after the event so if
we had an event on the 6th or the 13th for example or the 20th normally it would release after that
so far apple has really changed the way they're releasing these so we'll have to wait and see
but i just wanted to share a little bit about ios 15 what i think might be in it what people have
said and also what to expect for wwdc 2021 let me know what you're looking most forward to in
the comments below and of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description like i normally do
