Live Coverage: Apple WWDC 2019 Keynote is Now Streaming Online
At this year's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple is set to make some exciting announcements. The keynote, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT), will be livestreamed on Apple's website and can also be followed along with a liveblog.
One of the most anticipated announcements is the death of iTunes. Apple is expected to officially announce the end of iTunes as a standalone app, replacing it with separate apps for Music, Podcasts, and TV. This move marks the end of iTunes as a monolithic media hub, and while it may infuriate its loyal fans or annoy its haters, it signifies a shift towards a modular approach to media management.
In addition to the death of iTunes, Apple is expected to announce the latest versions of macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. These updates are expected to bring new features for users, making everything a little bit slicker. The updates are expected to be free for all users in just a few months.
The Marzipan project, known officially as Mac Catalyst, will continue to evolve. This project helps developers bring iPad apps to the Mac more easily, enhancing connectivity and cross-device experiences across Apple's main operating systems.
Apple is also expected to announce some new hardware. While the details are still under wraps, there are rumours of a long overdue update to the Mac Pro.
Last year, WWDC 2021 introduced Xcode Cloud, a new cloud-based continuous integration and delivery service for developers. This service enables cloud builds and testing integrated with Xcode and the App Store, making it easier for developers to create and distribute their apps.
