Apple enthusiasts are gearing up for the highly anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, as tech giant Apple has announced the event’s dates from June 10 to June 14. This year, the conference will be held online with a special in-person experience for selected developers at Apple Park.
Excitement is building as industry insiders predict that the event may see the unveiling of iOS 18, which is expected to come with new generative AI features and potential hardware-related announcements. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has even reported that new iPad Pro and iPad Air models are slated to be announced in May, with production already ramping up at Apple’s factories.
One of the most anticipated features of iOS 18 is rumored to allow iPhone users to place app icons anywhere on the Home Screen grid, offering more customization options. Additionally, Apple has been reported to be testing a new Apple Pencil with visionOS support, hinting at potential compatibility with the Vision Pro headset in the future.
On the software front, Apple has recently released the macOS 14.4.1 update, addressing bugs related to USB hubs, Java, audio unit plug-ins, and security issues. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling about potential changes to Apple’s M3 Max chip, which may impact the future M3 Ultra chip by potentially turning it into a standalone chip rather than being comprised of two M3 Max dies.
