We’re nearing the end of another developer conference season. But hold on, there’s still APPLE’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, which is coming up this June. APPLE shook things up by debuting its long-awaited Vision Pro headset, so you can bet that the company will use this year’s event to get people excited about its AI and technology. The theme for the conference this year is ‘APPLE Intelligence’ – a hint at burgeoning AI partnerships and other tech-heavy developments that will be revealed during the event.
The heart of innovation beats June 10-14 at APPLE Park in Cupertino, CA. Join us for an exciting week of reveals.For those who can’t attend in person, every session and the keynote will be available to stream.You can view it live on apple.com or on the official APPLE YouTube channel.
It is not too much to say that APPLE will change the tech world this fall, with an array of AI-imbued updates. To any observer following the tealeaves, it seems that, this year, the company will have an AI-centric overhaul of its operating systems, especially of its mobile operating system iOS 18, with features that might make your iPhone do things you’ve always wished it could do, such as better photo editing, rich text summarisation, better writing assistance, and more. This is hardly the only big show in town. The consumer has a lot to look forward to, especially in the areas of customisation, security and cross-platform communication.
There’s a very good chance that it’ll continue building hype, as when it debuted it was a huge draw, and WWDC 2024 will be a significant update on where the product stands (barring a second-gen reveal, I don’t think there’s much chance of that). Updates for Vision OS alone will be big news, and what we hear about sales performance will keep things buzzing. The first truly groundbreaking VR/AR headset has arrived, and I for one am excited.
The other is a long-time, infuriating iPad usability eccentricity: the fact that there is no built-in native Calculator app. That may get resolved next year at WWDC 2024 when APPLE finally decides to include a Calculator app already bundled on the iPad. The company’s commitment to getting the tiniest aspects of user experience just right seems never ending.
As iPad OS 18 is likely do much of the same as iOS 18, users can expect an AI experience on their tablet and phone that will feel quite seamless overall. I expect some of the most highly anticipated features will come in the form of new accessibility options that could be game changing for good, such as eye-tracking controls. Finally, AI will be added into macOS, enabling the smarter operating system of tomorrow.
Although a redesign of watchOS 11 or tvOS 18 might not be in the works, APPLE’s focus on quality-of-life improvements shows just how much it’s thinking about the larger user picture. Tinkering with ‘niceties’ to improve the user experience is only natural, and those updates will be the final notes for WWDC 2024 – punctuating APPLE’s annual plans for its products.
Despite all the innovation and gadgetry, APPLE is the place where creativity and modernity reign supreme WWDC 2024 is also a place where APPLE once again shows its dedication towards enhancing user experience, pushing the boundaries of the possible and leading the way into a future where technology delves more and more into the realm of human insight. As we once again prepare for another weekend in the Appl-evers, the anticipation is growing for yet another exciting future.
