WWDC 2021: the latest news from Apple’s annual developer conference

Apple&rsquo;s Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, will run from June 7th through the 11th this year, with the main keynote set for June 7th, at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. Like last year, the event will be virtual, so it&rsquo;s probably safe to expect another immaculately produced keynote video.
Apple is likely to announce updates to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It&rsquo;ll be interesting to see what Apple does with the iPad and Mac especially; the iPad Pro is now powered by the same M1 chips as Apple&rsquo;s best laptops, but its OS arguably holds it back. We&rsquo;re also still waiting on the pro-focused MacBooks and iMacs. While the current versions are fast, they lack the ports and RAM capacity that professionals are looking for, so we&rsquo;ll be on the lookout for the rumored MacBook Pro refresh.
We&rsquo;ll be covering everything that happens on the day, and any news that comes out after, which you can catch up on here.

Apple’s virtual conference officially kicks off on June 7th.
