While the main WWDC event is online this year, Apple did hold a lottery to give some developers a chance to visit Apple Park and a new developer area this year. It’s those people who are now able to book tours, although it isn’t clear exactly how many people will be in attendance. Apple also recently clarified COVID-19 protocols for the event.
We’re expecting big things from this year’s WWDC with iOS 16 just one of the software updates likely to be announced. The first developer betas are also set to be released on the same day, too. All of Apple’s new software is expected to ship later in the year, likely alongside the new iPhone 14 lineup.
