Written on
The Countdown to WWDC 2022
The highly anticipated WWDC 2022 is just around the corner—only a week away! This year's event will showcase iOS 16 and other major updates that we can’t wait to experience.
Apple is gearing up for the next Worldwide Developers Conference, aptly titled "Swiftly Approaching." With just one week left, excitement is building for iOS 16 and the other significant updates on the horizon!
What to Expect from iOS 16
As is customary, WWDC serves as a platform for developers to learn about upcoming updates, ensuring their applications remain compatible. However, for the general audience, it’s a chance to discover the features we’ll be using throughout the upcoming year with Apple products.
This year’s WWDC is scheduled for June 6-10, 2022, and unlike previous years, it will be a hybrid event—both virtual and in-person at Apple Park, thanks to decreasing COVID-19 cases.
How to Watch the Live Event
If you missed the deadline to attend in person, don’t worry! You can still catch the live stream on the official WWDC 2022 website at 10 a.m. PT on June 6. The presentation will likely last between one to two hours.
To stay updated with the timing in your local timezone, feel free to download the .ics file. You can also watch it on Apple’s official YouTube channel, the Apple TV app by searching for WWDC 2022, or through the Apple Developer app.
Did you know that you can use SharePlay to enjoy the live event with friends? Simply click ‘Share’ in the Apple Developer app while the stream is live, and select ‘SharePlay’ to connect with others.
