2020 has completely changed the way we experience new technology, as the global health issue forced most companies out there, including giants like Microsoft, Google, and Apple to hold their events online.

2021 seems to be no different, so Apple has just announced that its WWDC would take place in a digital format for the second year in a row.

Schedule to take place June 7 through 11, this year’s edition of the WWDC is once again expected to provide us with an early look at what’s to come in terms of software improvements for iPhones, iPads, and the Apple Watch. A preview of iOS 15 is also expected to be showcased.

“As customers rely on Apple products more than ever to work, learn, express their creativity, entertain, and be entertained, WWDC21 will provide Apple’s worldwide community of more than 28 million developers, as well as the next generation of app developers, with the information and tools needed to turn their ideas into reality. This year’s conference will include announcements from the keynote and State of the Union stages, online sessions, 1:1 labs offering technical guidance, and new ways for developers to interact with Apple engineers and designers to learn about the latest frameworks and technologies,” the company announced.

“The biggest and best WWDC”

Naturally, WWDC wouldn’t witness the debut of any hardware information, as the event is all about software news.

Apple says it’s also launching a new Swift Student Challenge for students.

“Apple will continue its long-standing tradition of supporting students who love to code with this year’s Swift Student Challenge, inviting them to create an interactive scene in a Swift playground that can be experienced within three minutes. Swift Playgrounds is a revolutionary app for iPad and Mac that makes learning the Swift programming language interactive and fun. Now through April 18, students can submit their Swift playground to the Swift Student Challenge. Winners will receive exclusive WWDC21 outerwear and a pin set,” it says.

Apple promises WWDC21 will be the biggest and the best edition of its developer conference.
