After its spring keynote full of new features (Mac Studio, Studio Display, iPhone SE 5G, iPad Air M1), Apple is resuming its June habits with its WWDC developer conference, which is being held this Monday at 7 p.m. On the menu: iOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9… and maybe virtual reality and a MacBook Air.
The invite for WWDC 2022 had already slipped in some potential clues. Still a few hours before knowing what Tim Cook and his family have in store for developers and the general public who will be able to attend the introductory keynote of the developer conference on Monday. If we are obviously waiting for iOS, macOS or even watchOS, the time may also have come for Apple to unveil the first bits of a new world that the company imagines around its products.
What is WWDC 2022?
The Worldwide Developers Conference 22, or conference of Apple developers, is held every year in June and is aimed at creators of content, applications and software thanks to the different operating systems of the Apple brand. This event lasts this year from June 6 to 10. It is made up of several sessions, workshops and other meetings in order to allow developers from all over the world to discuss with the Cupertino teams around the new OS (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS) and possibly new products or programming tools.
Usually it is held at the San Jose Convention Center. But this year, as for two years, it will take place mainly online, even if, this time, a thousand developers and certain media, including Frandroid, can go to California for this hybrid conference. The highlight of WWDC is obviously the introductory keynote which kicks off the week and takes place this Monday, June 6th. It will be broadcast online and broadcast at the Steve Jobs Theater for a thousand developers who have been invited for the occasion.

Note that the video is pre-recorded and the event is not live this year either.
What are we going to show there?
WWDC is the place to present the new operating systems for iPhone and iPod (iOS 16), iPad (iPadOS 16), Mac (macOS 13), Apple Watch (watchOS 9) and Apple TV. (tvOS 16). All the new features are unveiled there and often give a glimpse of what will equip the products for the start of the school year (iPhone 14 in mind and Apple Watch Series 8 to come).
2022 should also be the opportunity to finally discover the vision of virtual reality according to Apple. It is unlikely to see the helmet in the final version, but the possible applications should be revealed, if only to make developers want to get down to it. There are also whispers of the arrival of a new MacBook Air or even a Mac Pro with a supercharged M1 chip.
