The official start of summer is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to hide in a dark room and watch Apple talk about the future of its operating ecosystems for a couple hours. It’s WWDC week with Cupertino (well, mostly on the Internet, really) and, as usual, things start with a big conference on Monday, June 6 at 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET.
Also, as usual (you can set up your smartwatch with these things), we’ll follow up and give you the news as it happens. I’ve written a bit about what to expect from the event here. The long and short are:
- iOS 16 with an updated lock screen, including new widgets, and perhaps the preamble to an ever-active screen
- An outstanding year for iPadOS 16, with more multitasking and work support
- A look at macOS 13 Mammoth, with some updated settings and applications
- An improved battery mode for watchOS
- Maaaybe machinery? Finally we could see the M2 chip for Mac and an AR / VR headset that has been rumored for a long time
Find out the answer to all this and more by tuning in live at 10:00 PT / 1: 00 ET.
