The conference will start on June 22 and will take place online only. The Californian firm has just unveiled the date of its next big conference, the Worldwide Developers Conference 2020 (WWDC 2020). An annual meeting that is particularly aimed at developers, but which also brings together many journalists and bloggers. It is also an opportunity for Apple to present the new version of its operating systems. In addition to some new products.
This edition promises to be particularly different since it will only be held online. This is due to the health crisis facing the world for several months.
āWWDC20 will be our largest to date, bringing together our global developer community of over 23 million people in an unprecedented way for a week in June. They will learn more about the future of Apple platformsā. Said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of global marketing for Apple.
