Apple has officially announced the dates for its annual WWDC event and
keynote. This year, the event will take place entirely virtually from June
6th through June 10. This year at WWDC, we expect Apple to announce the
future of its operating systems including iOS 16, watchOS 9, and macOS 13.
Head below for all of the details on WWDC 2022.
WWDC 2022 is official!
Here's what Apple says we can look forward to at WWDC 2022:

Apple today announced it will host its annual Worldwide Developers
Conference (WWDC) in an online format from June 6 through 10th, free for all
developers to attend. Building on the success of the past two years of
virtual events, WWDC22 will showcase the latest innovations in iOS, iPadOS,
macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, while giving developers access to Apple engineers
and technologies to learn how to create groundbreaking apps and interactive
experiences.

Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations and
Enterprise and Education Marketing, added:

"At its heart, WWDC has always been a forum to create connection and build
community. In that spirit, WWDC22 invites developers from around the world
to come together to explore how to bring their best ideas to life and push
the envelope of what's possible. We love connecting with our developers, and
we hope all of our participants come away feeling energized by their
experience."

Despite Apple's "all-online" headline, Apple also says WWDC 2022 will
include a small in-person component:

In addition to the online conference, Apple will host a special day for
developers and students at Apple Park on June 6 to watch the keynote and
State of the Union videos together, along with the online community.

Apple adds that space will be limited, and details about how to apply to
attend will be provided on the Apple Developer site and app soon.
Compared to the past two years of virtual WWDC events, Apple adds that this
year it will offer "more information sessions, more cutting-edge learning
labs, more digital lounges to engage with attendees, and more localized
content to make WWDC22 a truly global event."
What to expect
WWDC 2022 will include Apple's State of the Union and Apple Design Award
events, online sessions, one on one labs for developers, and numerous ways
for developers to interact with Apple engineers and designers.
As usual, we expect Apple to focus heavily on its software platforms at WWDC
this year. This will likely include the announcement of iOS 16, iPadOS 16,
watchOS 9, macOS 13, and tvOS 16. The company will also likely release
developer betas of these new operating systems then as well.
This year, it's also possible that WWDC includes new hardware announcements
targeted at developers. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that Apple
could announce its next round of Apple Silicon-powered Macs for May or June.
It certainly seems plausible that these new Macs are announced during WWDC
in June.
Apple says that it will share additional program information in advance of
WWDC22 through the Apple Developer app, on the Apple Developer website, and
via email. We'll be sure to share the latest details right here on 9to5Mac
as they become available.
