Back in March, Apple joined a rapidly growing number of companies announcing an online-only model for their annual tech events. At the time, SVP Phil Schiller promised that the event would be “an innovative way to millions of developers around the world, bringing the entire developer community together with a new experience,” as planners across the world scrambled to make adapt to the newfound realities of a growing viral pandemic.
This morning, Apple is offering a lot more information about what WWDC will look like amid social distancing and stay at home requirements. The annual developer conference is now set for June 22. As previously noted, the event will consist of online sessions focused on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS developers.
In a release, Schiller once again set a positive note about launching the new format during an uncertain time. “WWDC20 will be our biggest yet, bringing together our global developer community of more than 23 million in an unprecedented way for a week in June to learn about the future of Apple platforms,” the executive said. “We can’t wait to meet online in June with the global developer community and share with them all of the new tools we’ve been working on to help them create even more incredible apps and services. We look forward to sharing more details about WWDC20 with everyone as we get closer to this exciting event.”
