WWDC 2018 EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS

This year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2018) is taking place in San Jose, CA, from June 4 to June 8. Attendees can enjoy valuable sessions, labs, consultations, gettogethers, guest speakers and more. Over 1,000 Apple engineers typically attend. Tickets are offered on a lottery system, and registration opened on March 13 2018.

Most importantly, it is a platform for Apple to unveil their most exciting developments, technology, and products coming this year. The event’s first-day keynote allows Apple to introduce upcoming software and hardware. This keynote not only sets the stage for the rest of the week, but it sets the precedent for technology to come in the next year.

Apple officially announced the event this week and designer Martin Hajek created a set of 16 wallpapers, inspired by the artwork for WWDC 2018. He has made different versions of the event’s invite, turning it 3D, showing the logo from various angles and playing with different colours. He has even made a “dark mode” version. Apple enthusiasts are hoping “dark mode”, designed to reduce eye strain and improve night time viewing experience, will officially be released for iOS at this year’s event.

A SERIES OF HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ANNOUNCEMENTS

At WWDC 2018, we are expecting big announcements focusing on iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Speculation around iOS 12 focuses around new Animoji, Animoji integration into FaceTime, an upgraded version of Do Not Disturb, more parental controls, stability enhancements and more. Rumors around macOS focus around new filters, FaceTime improvements, Animoji support, and better Mac Graphics.
