Apple today announced that it will hold its World Developers Conference in June . Already in its thirty-first year, WWDC 2020 will adopt a completely new online format that, they assure, will be full of content for consumers, media and developers. This online event will be an opportunity for millions of creative and innovative developers to get involved and learn first-hand about the future of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS and exchange impressions with Apple engineers in order to continue creating apps that enrich the lives of Apple customers around the world. ” We’re going to celebrate WWDC 2020 this June in a completely innovative way for developers around the world to experience this new way to stay in touch,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing . “The current health situation has forced us to create a format for WWDC 2020 that includes all the usual programming in the form of a Keynote and online sessions . It will be a great learning opportunity for developers around the world. The next few weeks we will give all the details . ” ” With all the new products and technologies we’re working on, WWDC 2020 is going to be a complete success, ” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. ” I am looking forward to our developers testing the new code and interacting in a whole new way with Apple engineers to create the technology environments that will shape the future of all Apple platforms .” Apple has also announced that it will allocate $ 1 million to organizations in the San José area to compensate for the loss of revenue caused by the new online format of WWDC 2020 . It goes without saying (but we do) that the Coronavirus is not only claiming human fatalities ; Companies have begun to suffer the scourge of the global pandemic and they will spend some tough weeks that are already being translated into astronomical negative figures for the world economy. We will have to take all this with philosophy, stay calm at home complying with the government’s recommendations and the time to gather crowds will come; Until then, let’s take advantage of that magical tool that is “Internet” that we are not going to be able to finish.
