There are always lots of predictions about what Apple will announce at its annual World Wide Developer’s Conference each year and this year is no different. I’ve written a few of them myself. Here’s a quick list of some pieces from others and myself that I think provide a good pre-WWDC reading list.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg seems to have gotten quite a few of the details, whether leaked or planted who really knows, on what’s about to unfold. Check out Here’s Everything Apple Plans to Show at It’s AI-Focused WWDC Event. It almost feels like a story board of the event.
Gurman also expands on his thoughts about Apple Intelligence here.
As a companion to that check out John Gruber’s take on Gurman’s Epic Pre-WWDC Leak Report. Gruber seems to think it’s indeed a leak and the folks inside Apple aren’t too happy. IYKYK
Perhaps the best pre-WWDC piece for providing some pre-perspective comes from Om Malik in Apple + AI: What to Expect at WWDC 2024.
Wayne Dixon tackles his Wish List by platform and tosses in a Bluetooth wish for good measure.
David Lewis doesn’t think we should hold our breath.
Since Artificial Intelligence, or as it appears soon to be christened Apple Intelligence, seems to be the order of the day, Craig Grannell has some intriguing thoughts on how Apple can avoid the pitfalls others have made in this great AI gold rush.
Nathan Edwards at The Verge wants to know if WWDC 2024 and AI will unlock the potential of the iPad Pro.
And here are the three pieces I’ve written:
WWDC 2024: iCloudy Forecasts Ahead Amidst Dampening Expectations
WWDC 2024: Apple Needs To Do Some Serious Work with iCloud
WWDC 2024: Things I’d Like To See
It’s always interesting to see what comes out of each year’s WWDC announcements because one way or the other they set much of the agenda for the next year and beyond.
