WWDC22: Apple announces date for its developer conference

Manzana announced that it will host its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDCfor its acronym in English) annual in online format from June 6 to 10 next.

WWDC22 will showcase the latest innovations in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. In turn, experts will be able to access Apple technologies to learn how to create innovative applications.

Like every year, there will be an opening act (keynote) and then several specialized conferences. In turn, in this edition more learning laboratories will be added, digital rooms to interact with attendees and there will be more content available for attendees.

In addition to the online conference, the company will organize a special day for developers and students in Apple Park on June 6 to watch the opening speech together.

Space will be limited, so you will need to reserve a spot. It has not yet been announced how that admission process will be, but the company said that the necessary instructions to attend the event will be given soon.

The IT giant will also support students taking their first steps in programming with the Swift Student Challenge competition.

This refers to Swift Playgrounds, an application for iPad and Mac that helps learn Swift programming in an easy and interactive way.

For this year’s challenge, students from around the world are invited to create a Swift Playgrounds app project on a topic of their choice, and can submit their work until April 25.

Winners will receive exclusive WWDC22 apparel, a set of custom pins, and one year of membership in the Apple Developer Program. To participate you must enter here.

“In the background, WWDC has always been a forum for networking and building communitySusan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of worldwide developer relations and enterprise and educational marketing, said in the statement released by the company. And she added: “In that spirit, WWDC22 invites developers from around the world to come together to explore how to bring their best ideas to life and push the boundaries of what is possible. We love connecting with our developers and hope that all of our participants are inspired by their experience.”

Apple plans to launch a subscription service

As mentioned, the meeting is expected to receive many news in software, as it happens every year. Innovations will surely be announced in relation to the design, performance and productivity of the operating systems that feed the company’s ecosystem.

But there can always be some surprise. In relation to this, you can expect some announcement related to new devices, programs or even a completely new plan, such as the subscription service for to facilitate the acquisition of iPhone’s and other products.

This is not officially confirmed, but it is an advance that sources linked to the company gave a few days ago to Bloomberg. It is an option that would imply the payment of a monthly fee to buy the company’s mobile as well as other devices.

The project is currently in the development phase., but that’s a very promising idea that could soon come to fruition. Adopting hardware subscriptions would be a major strategy change for the company, which aims to continue growing in the market.

The idea is to offer the purchase of an iPhone or iPad along with access to services such as data storage iCloud or an Apple Music subscription.

The company plans to let customers sign up for hardware with the same Apple ID and App Store account they already use to buy apps and sign up for services.

The initiative generates a lot of expectation and would undoubtedly be an interesting change of direction for the way of acquiring the company’s products. We will have to see if something is mentioned in this regard at the annual developer conference.
