In which Apple executives tell us about the new software and innovative developments of the corporation that can make our lives much more comfortable and easier. But first of all, this conference is aimed at software developers for devices running iOS, Mac OS, watchOS and tvOS.
Tim Cook began the 27th annual WWDC conference with words of sorrow for all the victims of the tragedy that happened the day before in Orlando. The victims were honored with a minute of silence. After which the Apple CEO’s speech returned to normal. Today, Apple has more than 13 million registered developers. An impressive number. The youngest developer is only 9 years old, and she is a girl. App Store has been around for eight years, and today the number of available applications has exceeded 2,000,000. Apple has paid developers more than $50 billion. You can’t say anything - the money is huge. But enough of the impressive numbers and laudatory odes to your company. It's time to get down to business.
Kevin Lynch takes the stage to tell us about watchOS 3.0. Compared to previous version 2.0, the watch operating system began to work seven times faster. Applications launch almost instantly. By pressing the oblong key on the watch case, the user receives fast access to your favorite apps that swipe across the screen. The Apple Watch has its own control center, which can be called up by swiping up from the bottom, just like on the others. mobile devices companies.
The quick message response system will offer you various options for suitable responses. If among them there is no one you like, you can dictate your option or simply write it with your finger directly on the screen. Perhaps this was thanks to the amazing Scribble system, which recognizes handwritten text at great speed. For now, only support for English and Chinese languages is available.
The new Activity watch face design shows your activity throughout the day. There are three options to choose from appearance. Switching watch faces has become even easier - just swipe your finger across the screen.
During the visual demonstration, we are shown how convenient everything has now become. For example, the Timer application literally launches with one click countdown user-selected duration. You can also hail a taxi with just the touch of a button in the Lyft app. You can't go wrong here even if you're very drunk.
Another one interesting feature– SOS button. By holding down the oblong key on the watch case, you can call emergency services or send your coordinates and a message to your favorite contacts. In this case, the system works through cellular communication your smartphone, and directly from the watch, if it is connected to wireless network Wi-Fi.
Activity now has the ability to challenge your friends. Share your achievements in sports with them and let them try to break your records.
Now the watch can even track the activity of wheelchair users. This became possible thanks to special algorithms for tracking the movements of their hands. Apple cares about the tactfulness of its products, so instead of the motivating “Time to get off your chair!” the clock will tell the wheelchair user “Time to ride!”
The new Breathe app will help you relieve stress. It was developed in collaboration with medical professionals and yoga experts. Simply choose how many minutes you want to spend on breathing exercises, and the app will slowly guide your inhalations and exhalations using a visual interface and subtle tactile touches on your wrist.
Now let’s talk about what developers will get with the release of the third version of watchOS. Third-party applications will receive support payment system Apple Pay. They will be able to get full access to background collection of information about the user’s heartbeat, his physical activity, and also receive data from the gyroscope and accelerometer. Developers will be able to use sprites and graphics more efficiently on Apple watch Watch, track digital crown presses, use the built-in watch speaker, Game Center and CloudKit. The developer version of the firmware is available immediately after the presentation. And everyone else will be able to update in the fall completely free of charge.
Now it's tvOS's turn. Eddie Q stormed onto the stage. Today, Apple TV offers users 1,300 channels and 6,000 apps.
Remote controller remote control can be replaced using the iPhone app. At the same time, the gyroscope built into the smartphone can be used to play games. The Siri voice assistant will also work much better. She will understand the contexts of questions asked to her and quickly search required by the user content. At the same time, it can even find for you any video on YouTube or programs on specific channels.
Apple has also developed a Single Sign-On system that will allow you to register just once to gain access to all popular TV channels and applications. Previously, you had to register with each one separately. You can also turn on night mode so that the TV screen doesn’t hurt your eyes in the dark.
A free update to the next version of tvOS will be available in the fall. Developers will, of course, have access to the operating system on the day of the presentation.
Now comes the fun part. OS X. Craig Federighi and his famous blue shirt with wet “armpit areas” are already here. The desktop operating system will now be called macOS to look harmonious with iOS, watchOS and tvOS.
New macOS version will be subtitled Sierra. And this is not at all the famous developer of cult quests. The first innovation will be “Auto-unlocking” your computer using your Apple Watch. You no longer have to enter long passwords. Just open your laptop, and if your watch is on your hand, you can start working right away.
The new Universal Clipboard feature will allow you to use copy/paste functions in parallel on all your Apple devices. Copied to iPhone and then pasted into text editor on your MacBook.
Your documents from iCloud can be opened anywhere, be it your smartphone, a desktop computer, or even someone else’s computer at a party. Old files can be sent to the cloud to free up hard drive space. Besides new macOS will automatically clean up unnecessary files cache and other garbage, so as not to clutter your life with this “waste paper”.
Apple Pay will now work in Safari. To pay, you just need to use Touch ID authentication on your smartphone. After all, dragging your Mac to the store is quite difficult.
In addition to adding the famous picture-in-picture feature, the new macOS finally welcomes the voice assistant Siri into its arms. Siri can show you the files you worked with last week, play music for you, search for photos, send messages and much, much more. The update to macOS Sierra will be available this fall completely free.
The turn of iOS 10 has come. The developers decided to make the number 10 symbolic for this release, so there will be ten in the operating system. The first will be a change in UX.
The lock screen was the first to undergo the transformation process. Now notifications will become much more informative. And the screen will light up not only after you press the Home or Power button, but also simply when you lift the screen towards your face. So the buttons will last longer, and you need to do much less unnecessary body movements. Apps now open directly on the lock screen using 3D Touch. And now you can pin your widgets to this screen. Hooray.
The Siri assistant has been made available to app developers. Now he can interact with third party applications, and not just those released by Apple.
Siri will have access to the keyboard. She will study what you write and adapt to your communication style. If you are asked in a message where you are, Siri will automatically prompt you to send the person your location. In other words, now the voice assistant will actually interact closely with the user, rather than responding with “Google search results” to any question you ask.
The Photo application will now be able to recognize not only people’s faces in photographs, but also various objects. The image sorting system has also been improved.
The Maps app boasts a completely new design. I must say that it really looks much nicer than the old one. The interface will become much more convenient, and information about road traffic will appear on the maps. The maps will also be adapted for CarPlay and made open to developers.
Apple Music. 15 million people use the service for a fee. The application will become more understandable and will also have a new design, we will be able to see the words of our favorite songs and much, much more.
News application. From now on, users will be able to receive notifications about “hot news”. If I'm not mistaken, this application is still not available in our country, which is very sad. I would love to use it.
HomeKit will get its own app for iOS. I don’t think that many people in Russia own “smart homes,” but maybe someone will find this application useful in their life. You can control your automatic curtains, lights, thermostats, door locks and other devices from your phone. You can even see the image from the security camera directly on your phone screen, if one is installed in your apartment.
Just hours after Siri revealed the date for WWDC, Apple company has officially confirmed that the 27th annual Worldwide Developers DC (WWDC) will be held from June 13 to 17 in San Francisco. And developers can already register to participate in the traditional drawing for tickets to the event.
A press release published by the Cupertino team states that conference visitors will be able to learn about the future of iOS, OS X, watchOS and tvOS, get acquainted with the functions and features of these platforms, and also receive practical advice to improve application functionality.
Developers will be able to consult with more than 1,000 Apple engineers, take part in more than 150 hands-on labs, and network with thousands of peers and developers from around the world. At the same time, the company emphasizes that in last year WWDC conference 2015 was attended by developers from 70 countries, and 80% of them came to the conference for the first time.
In addition, on The conference will be held announcement of traditional award results Apple Design Awards, during which the best apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Mac, distinguished by their technical excellence, innovation and outstanding design.
WWDC sessions will be broadcast live on the Conference website and in the official WWDC app. And in addition to standard ticket sales, Apple will provide 350 WWDC student scholarships, allowing students and STEM center participants from around the world to receive a free ticket.
The long-awaited developer conference WWDC 2016 starts today. On the first day we will be presented with a huge number of new products from Apple. I would like to join this holiday, and tonight you will have such an opportunity. And you can start preparing now. The company itself Apple started get ready for the weekend. The registration of the conference venues has already been completed.
The first day will take place in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Apple didn't work on this building for very long. It is decorated with a fairly small Apple logo. So far, no banners have been seen indicating the features of the operating systems that will be presented. Usually there are such banners.
But Apple has worked hard on Moscone West, where conference participants will spend the rest of the days. The building is decorated with a much more impressive company logo. Five large banners with the conference logo can also be seen near Moscone West. They look impressive.
The closer it gets to the evening, the more information we will be able to tell you about the first day of WWDC 2016. Follow our site and join
Digital assistant Siri has revealed the date of the annual Worldwide Developers Conference 2016. The event will take place from June 13 to 17 in San Francisco.
“The Worldwide Developers Conference 2016 will take place June 13-17 in San Francisco,” reads the Siri message.
On Monday, April 18, Apple officially confirmed the dates for the conference, and on April 19, members of the developer community began receiving notifications indicating the date of WWDC 2016. “Get ready for WWDC. June 13-17,” the notice says. 
In addition, the company has opened registration for a large lottery, in which tickets to the event will be drawn. Registration will open from April 18 to April 22. According to the rules, only registered developers can apply to participate. Ticket price is $1,599.
As part of WWDC 2016, technical seminars will be held with the participation of more than 1,000 Apple engineers, and on the first day, June 13, the company will present its new OS. Those who cannot be among the conference participants will be able to watch the developments of events via online broadcast.
"The beginning of the World Conference Apple developers will take place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. On Day 1, the developer community will learn about the future of OS X, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. As part of the Apple Keynote and State of the Union, the company will show its new developments, and at the end of the day the winners of the prestigious Apple Design Awards will be announced,” according to Apple’s official website.
What will the event hold? from 13 to 17 June. How are the preparations going, and what new things will Apple tell you at the conference?

This hall was probably chosen because it has much more seating - 7 thousand, and not 4.5 thousand, as in Moscone West. By the way, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium complex is located 1.6 km from Moscone West. This is a great chance to take a walk through the streets of San Francisco.
We learn about the future of four Apple software platforms
This became known from Apple’s press release about WWDC 2016. Of course, we are talking about , and . Surely developers will be shown updated versions of operating systems.
So, Apple will demonstrate to the public for the first time iOS 10 and perhaps on the MacOS (or macOS?) desktop platform.
Confirmed data on new chips software updates Not yet. Someone is talking about, someone is talking about interesting innovations in iOS (a number, after all).
Will Apple show new MacBooks?
There is an opinion that the manufacturer will technically improve and update it a little. Someone is waiting and new model. You can guess for a long time, but before June 13, we still won’t know what Apple is preparing for us.
Alternatively, an updated 12-inch MacBook will take the place MacBook Air. The latter will be retired. A MacBook Pro will become a very thin but powerful laptop. The competitors' nightmare turned into reality.
The party and concert will take place at the same Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
For the first time in 10 years, Apple has changed the location of its annual party. Until now, a party for developers and guests in honor of the end of the conference was organized in Yerba Park Buena Gardens. In 2016, the holiday will be held in Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
Who will perform on stage this time is being kept secret for now. In the past, party music was provided by rockers Walk the Moon, English indie pop group Bastille, American indie rock band Vampire Weekend. Perhaps this year he will entertain guests himself - as the head of Beats 1.
Apple plans to broadcast conference for couch potatoes
On the WWDC website and through the WWDC app [Download from the App Store], those interested will be able to watch a live broadcast of the presentation and most of the conference events. So, homebodies and those who can’t get a ticket will have the opportunity to at least virtually attend WWDC 2016.
Apple will also prepare materials from past sessions for delayed viewing upon request. This is very convenient, especially when you want to catch all the details of a live discussion of new products by enthusiastic developers.
