 Apple's WWDC 2020 is coming up soon on June 22 and this year there's no lottery to get in. Everyone gets to attend using Apple's Developer app. WWDC is traditionally where Apple introduces new versions of its family of operating systems including: macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and WatchOS. Apple was busy revamping every model in the hardware lineup over the last year so we are looking for great things in software at WWDC.
And in case you are wondering, WWDC stands for World Wide Developer Conference.
