*** The Official WWDC 2021 thread - Keynote 7th June at 18:00 BST ***

[Feek]

Posting this in Software because WWDC is a developers conference and primarily about software (although there have been a few hardware announcements in the last couple of years).

What do we expect?

iOS15 / iPadOS15 / tvOS15
macOS 12
watchOS 8

What else do you want to see?

macOS 12

What else do you want to see?

I guess the move away from being focussed on yearly major version software OS updates (at least for macOS). I'd also like to see iPadOS having some of the restrictions being removed so I can use it as a travel replacement for my 15" Pro or 13" Air.

I'd like to see something that will really unleash the potential of the latest iPads.

 

[Ryan-3]

I'd like to see iPad OS become more computer-like, especially for how good the Pro is. I'd expect a new set of Macbooks if they're giving that clue away in the image itself (the code in the girl's glasses), but hopefully they won't keep mini-LED to the 16".

 

[Xein]

Would love to see a new line up of MacBooks looking to upgrade my current 2013 model. I know current M1 MBs are great, just want to see what they may potentially release.

 

[Reuben klang]

New AirPods Pro in terms of hardware but a huge update for iPad OS I want to be able to multi task with multi sounds. Sounds strange but does my head in if I’m watching something in the background and it pauses it.

 

[explicit4u]

Not fussed on software but I'd kill for a new 16" M1 MBP with some decent ports.

Same!

 

[Ryan-3]

It's looking more and more likely that the 14" and 16" MBP's are to be released at WWDC. The battery capacities were leaked today and it looks like the 14" is in for a nice little bump. Could we be seeing 30+ hours?!

I hope so, I so need a 16" M series in my life.

Depending on the prices they launch at and what I get trade in, I'm undecided between the two although will likely just plump for the 14"

If it has a new M-series SoC, the power draw will presumably rise in line with whatever extra cores it has. Hopefully the new Pro will have a faster chip and longer battery life, but I’m guessing it’ll only get the former.

 

[Goodie]

Is it expected that if they do make hardware announcements that they’ll come on day 1?

Not usually.

I'll be watching it as per usual.

I didn’t actually think anyone watches these things aside from bloggers. Just wait for the cliffs, no?

Haven't missed a single Apple Event for years

I can't stand them, proper cheesy and forced clapping.

They've been audience free and pre-recorded for over a year, much, much better.
