What to expect at WWDC 2024
While last year’s WWDC will go down in the history books as the launch of Apple Vision Pro, there’s still a lot to be excited for at WWDC 2024.
This year, the star of the show will likely be iOS 18 and a ton of new artificial intelligence features. Apple is working on an upgraded version of Siri powered by generative AI, alongside new AI features for iWork, Apple Music, Xcode, Messages, and more.
In addition to iOS 18, Apple will also announce iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and tvOS 18 at WWDC this year. We also can’t forget about Apple Vision Pro, for which Apple will announce visionOS 2 at WWDC.
In terms of hardware, we’re still waiting on M3 versions of the Mac Studio and Mac Pro. Whether these are unveiled at WWDC remains to be seen, but the M2 versions were announced at WWDC last year.
Wrap up
What are you most excited to see at WWDC 2024? Personally, I’m look forward to visionOS 2 and seeing what Apple has planned for Vision Pro’s second year in the world. Apple also has a lot riding on the new AI features rumored to be coming with iOS 18. I’m curious to see what new features materialize this year versus what ends up being delayed.
