WWDC 2016 was scheduled to start on June 13 at 20:00, then the Apple company will organize a conference in which it will discuss what it has prepared for us in the last months in Cupertino, about recent achievements, but also about its future .
WWDC 2016 was announced a few months ago by those from Apple and is eagerly awaited by tens of millions of people on the planet because within it we will see a lot of new information about what Apple will offer us until the end of the year.
What is WWDC?
For those of you who don't know, WWDC stands for World Wide Developers Conference and, as the name suggests, it is an annual event organized by the Apple company for all application developers from around the world, a conference ticket costs 1500 dollars.
WWDC 2016 is structured to take place over a period of 5 days, from Monday to Friday, and within it will be organized various conferences, signings and workshops in which application developers will learn new techniques for creating applications and learn how to implement new functions.
Approximately 1000 Apple engineers are brought annually to help the thousands of developers present at the events to learn new techniques to make applications and to implement new functions in the applications, part of the workshops to be recorded and published on the Internet.
WWDC 2016 will start with a conference of approximately 2 hours - 2 and a half hours, and within it Apple will make a series of announcements regarding some products that they are going to launch for users from all over the world.
When does it begin
On June 13 at 20:00, Romanian time, or a few minutes after this time to allow Apple to control the live stream, but you can come to iDevice.ro starting at 19:30 to participate in the discussions about with everything to be announced.
What will we see at WWDC 2016?
During the two hours in which the opening conference of WWDC 2016 will take place, the Apple company will present iOS 10, macOS, watchOS 3, tvOS 10, news for Apple Music, but probably also a possible new Mac, or who knows what others the American company still has surprises in store.
Tim Cook and various members of the management team of the Apple company will take the stage of the event to make a variety of announcements and present a variety of news regarding the surprises prepared in Cupertino, the whole world having the opportunity to watch everything live.
As it regularly happens with Apple conferences, WWDC 2016 should end with a mini-concert organized by a band chosen by those from Cupertino, but of course there is no information about its name and they will not exists until the moment of its presentation.
iOS 10
I introduced you in the morning 10 iOS 10 news which there are very high chances to see presented on Monday evening by the Apple company, most of them being confirmed in some rumors that have appeared so far on the Internet, so there are no doubts about the announcement.
After the presentation of the important news of iOS 10, the Apple company will release iOS 10 beta 1 and will announce which terminals will be compatible with iOS 10 starting from June 13, with application developers having access to this build of the operating system from Monday night itself.
iOS 10 will most likely also be released in a public beta version for users interested in testing the builds prepared by the Apple company, and during the summer between 5-8 versions of iOS 10 will be released with various functions implemented, modified or removed .
MacOS
One of the key points of the opening conference of WWDC 2016 will be the announcement of the name change of OS X to macOS, the company Apple referring to such a change twice, even directly on his website, so she will definitely come.
The first beta build of macOS 10.12, or 1, will be released on June 13, under the same conditions as in the case of iOS 10, and developers and then regular users will be able to install and test the new version of the operating system until the official release from the autumn.
For now, it is not known what new features macOS could bring besides the implementation of Siri, but there will certainly be changes because Apple must make the operating system more attractive for Mac users around the world.
watchOS 3, tvOS 10 and Apple Music
watchOS 3 will most likely be presented for the Apple Watch before it is officially launched in the fall, it will only work with the new version of iOS, but for now it is not known what news will be presented to users during the event.
In the case of tvOS 10, it is not known what news Apple could implement, but we can talk about possible changes for the interface and improving the general functionality, Apple TV 4 being able to benefit at any time from changes that offer a better user experience.
I have already told you about Apple Music news from WWDC 2016, the Apple company following major changes for the service both in the Music application of iOS 10, as well as in a new version of iTunes that it will launch for users from the fall of this year.
Stream Live
Keeping the tradition of the previous years, the Apple company will broadcast WWDC 2016 live for the tens of millions of interested users, and everyone will be able to see in real time the announcements made in San Francisco, as has been happening for several conferences since.
Apple officially claims that only those who have a product with a browser or a dedicated application will be able to see the WWDC 2016 broadcast live, but even those with versions of Windows older than Windows 10 will be able to watch the stream through the application VLC.
You will find the link for the WWDC 2016 stream on June 13 on iDevice.ro to be able to watch everything from Windows through the VLC application, so you will need to carefully follow iDevice.ro during Monday to find out all the important news.
How do you prepare?
Be very patient because among the important or marginally important functions there will be many uninteresting announcements, but on iDevice.ro you will only see the important and relevant information announced by the Apple company during the opening conference.
What you won't see
According to the latest rumors, the company Apple will not present any physical product at WWDC 2016 because it has not prepared such a product for us, the entire event being entirely dedicated to software and not to physical products, as it was in past years.
I know that many of you are waiting for an Apple Watch 2, a new MacBook Air or maybe even a MacBook Pro, but you will have to be patient because these products are not ready to be offered for now.
