Apple WWDC 2018 keynote event Live Updates: iOS 12, macOS 10.14, watchOS 5 and everything else that is expected.
WWDC 2018 Apple Event Live Updates: Apple’s annual World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), also popular as Dub Dub DC, will start at the San Jose Convention Centre on June 4. A day before the event, hundreds of developers from across the world were making a beeline for the venue to ensure they have the right passes to be in place when Apple CEO Tim Cook takes the stage with the keynote on Monday morning. Over 350 student developers will also attend WWDC this year on Apple scholarships.
While there are many reports on what all Apple will announce, or what all it won’t, one thing that is certain with any edition of WWDC is version updates on all of Apple’s operating systems iOS, to macOS, watchOS and tvOS. While iOS 12 will be one of the big things to look out for there is no clarity yet on what the new features will be. The most excitement is around what is being termed as Digital Health, a new Apple initiative to track and limit the amount of time users spend on apps.
According to Bloomberg, hardware announcements are unlikely. But it remains to be seen if Apple will resist the temptation to at least showcase some new device.
iOS 12 will have a new Digital Health feature, according to reports from Bloomberg. What this means is that Apple will also let users monitor their consumption of iPhone, iPad, amount of time spent on the screen, on an app, etc. Remember, Google's Android P is also going to come with something similar which is called the Android Dashboard. Again we will have to wait and see how Apple will implement this Digital Health feature. Apple will likely have more parental controls as well.
Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference will start at 10.30 PM for India. It will be streamed live on Apple's event page, and users with an Apple device can view it. Apple CEO Tim Cook will open the keynote address. WWDC is a 4-day conference for developers and goes on till June 8.
Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted a video highlighting the 350-odd students, who are getting scholarships this year to attend WWDC. The video starts with Aashna Narula, who is a Delhi University MSc Computer Science. She has created an app called Let’s Shapify, which aimed at pre-school children and helping them recognise colour and shapes. Read Aashna's full story
