We will be providing coverage of Apple's WWDC 2020 keynote beginning June 22th at 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT.


Apple is widely expected to unveil iOS/iPhoneOS 14 and iPadOS 14 at the event, as well as new versions of macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. iOS 14 will reportedly gain car key capabilities, translate features, improvements to Podcasts, new AR tools, and more. watchOS is rumored to get new watch faces, kids mode, and sleep tracking.

The most significant announcement will likely be a transition from Intel processors to custom ARM-based processors for Apple's desktop and notebook computers.

Unfortunately, last minute reports suggest no new hardware will be unveiled during the keynote address.
