Apple's next big event starts on June 4 — here are 5 announcements we're expecting by Antonio Villas-Boas on Mar 13, 2018, 3:53 PM Advertisement
Apple on Tuesday announced the dates for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The event takes place from June 4 to June 8, 2018. At WWDC, we usually hear what Apple has planned for its big yearly software updates for iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. Check out the five major things we expect Apple to mention at this year's WWDC: SEE ALSO: A Chinese smartphone company no one has ever heard of is making a huge impact in 2018, and it's innovating more than Apple or Samsung Details and features about iOS 12, the next operating system for iPhones and iPads. iOS 12 is rumored to come with new Animoji for the iPhone X, and you'll be able to use Animoji for FaceTime calls, according to MacRumors. Other updates include Siri integration in the Photos app and more control over the Do Not Disturb feature for blocking notifications. For the most part, we're expecting this year to be about refining current features as opposed to adding new ones, but it wouldn't be an Apple event without a few surprises.
A new version of macOS. Few rumors exist about macOS 14, the successor to macOS 13 (a.k.a. "High Sierra") that's currently the latest version for Mac computers. The biggest rumor of note is compatibility with iPhone and iPad apps, which means we could be running iOS apps on Mac computers. At first glance, that's a move that could make it easier to use iOS apps while you're sitting and working on your Mac computer. You wouldn't need to break your workflow to switch between your iOS device and your Mac computer to use an iOS app.
New details about an upgrade to the Mac Pro. Back in April 2017, Apple executives mentioned to tech sites, including TechCrunch, that it was working on a new updated version of its modular Mac Pro desktop computer, which was originally released in 2013. It's almost a year later and we're expecting some kind of details surrounding the new Mac Pro, given Apple's recent efforts to address professional users.
