Apple’s
annual WorldWide Developers Conference or WWDC will be held in San
Francisco from June 8th to 12th. This annual conference is where Apple
showcases its latest software and new technologies for developers.
We
can expect the next big updates to the iOS software as well as OS X.
According to the Apple’s official WWDC page, there will be more than 100
technical sessions and over 1000 Apple engineers on location to speak
to devs. The WWDC event will be streaming some sessions live.
Since
this is an invite only event, interested developers need to register by
Friday, April 17. Apple will select participants randomly and selected
devs will be informed by April 20. If selected, the devs will need to
purchase a $1599 ticket to attend the event.
Apple
has also partnered with institutions to award scholarships. It states,
“WWDC Scholarships are available to students and members of
participating STEM organizations around the world.”
According
to Buzzfeed, the Cupertino Company will showcase its revamped Apple TV
at the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). Along with a design
change, the Apple TV box is expected to come with the company’s latest
A8 system-on-chip or something similar, more on-board storage and an
improved operating system that could support voice assistant Siri.
Apple
has also seeded the first iOS 8.4 beta to developers which features
Apple’s upcoming revamped Music app. This seed is available on Apple’s
Developer Center website.
A
report by 9to5mac shares the release notes from Apple for its all-new
music app. Firstly, the biggest change will include an all new design
UI. Users can add their own image and description to their personalised
playlists. Also, they can start playing an album right from the album
list. Albums and playlists which have been recently added will be
displayed on top of the library.
The
new app will also bring in a smoother-working iTunes Radio. Users can
return to their favorite stations as they wish by going to Recently
Played. They can also choose from a selection of hand-curated stations
in Featured Stations, or start a new one from their favorite artist or
song.
