WWDC 2023 is one of the most anticipated Apple events of the yearalong with the September keynote in which it will present the future iPhone 15. Some years the most notable event is September, while on other occasions it is the developer conference that arouses the most interest, as happened in 2020, when Apple He confirmed that he was leaving Intel to start using his own integrated under the name Apple Silicon.
In this case, there are many doubts about whether WWDC 2023 will be the most important event, or whether the large number of new features that can come with the next generation of the iPhone will make the September event more interesting. Saying that this will depend on what is presented, announced or forward at WWDC is obvious, of course, but in this case it not only depends on what is announced, but also on what is announced.the impact of precisely what everyone expects the epicenter of the news of the event.
But hey, it’s best to start at the beginning. We finally know the dates, since Apple has officially confirmed them. So, WWDC 2023 will be held June 5-9, 2023 and, as is traditional, the most important announcements will take place at the keynote that will be held on the first day, Monday, June 5. The event will have the already traditional pre-recorded online formatAlthough the company will also hold a special event in Apple Park, although we can already imagine that there will be a few (very few) who will receive an invitation to access it.
We already know, therefore, that Apple’s WWDC 2023 will take place the first week of June, so now it’s time to ask ourselves the following question, which, in reality, is the one that arouses the most interest and, of course, the one that those of Cupertino will not give an answer, except surprise, until the event itself is held. Therefore, once again we will have to base ourselves on the experience of previous years and, of course, on the leaks and rumors that are so common when we talk about Apple.
Starting with the safest Apple will present future new versions of its operating systemsthat is, iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, tvOS 17 and macOS 14. Shortly after the announcement, the release of the first beta versions of these to developers will begin, so that in this way they can begin to adapt their apps to the news of the operating systems, and as usual, we hope that the final versions will come hand in hand with the presentation and marketing of the iPhone 15.
Let’s go from safest to the most anticipated, which this year is Apple’s augmented reality viewer which we have been talking about for years now, and which finally seems to be close to becoming a reality. And this is precisely what I was referring to at the beginning, when talking about the potential impact of the most anticipated announcement since, as we told you a few days ago, even within the company there are some doubts about whether this device will achieve the expected impact in Cupertino.
Last year Apple took advantage of WWDC to present the second generation of Apple Silicon, the integrated M2, two years after the presentation of the platform. Thus, we can assume that the company has considered a renewal rate every two years, with a refresh in the middle of its life cycle with the presentation of more advanced versions of the current generation accompanied by some devices that equip them. So, we can expect the presentation of the most powerful chips of the M2 generation.
In this case, WWDC 2023 could serve to complete the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, with the introduction of the first Mac Pro equipped with a proprietary chip. Given the evolution of performance between the M1 and the M2 and trying to infer the benefits that a top-of-the-range version of it can provide, it is possible that Apple already has the silicon it needs to motorize its workstation-server that, let’s remember, to this day it is still based on Intel Xeon processors.
