This year, Apple is holding its second all-virtual Worldwide Developers Conference, and there could be even more hardware announcements than normal.

WWDC Keynote Time

Apple will kick off the event with a new, more powerful M2 chip and a redesigned MacBook Pro that removes obnoxious features like the Touch Bar and replaces them with HDMI and MagSafe. The new M2 is said to contain twice as many processing and GPU cores as the M1. iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 may see some significant updates at WWDC 2021. Both the operating systems are believed to have a new privacy menu for examining the data apps use, notification settings that may be customised around a user's state, and maybe a major overhaul to iMessage and the Messages app.

This year, Apple will also release macOS 12 for MacBook, iMac, and Mac users, which will include several new features. To be sure, no significant changes to macOS are anticipated this time. During the keynote, Apple Watch users should receive watchOS 8 updates. Changes to fitness tracking and new features that can be used to improve user experience could be included in the software. Apple is also expected to release a new range of next-generation MacBook Pro models, with screen sizes ranging from 14 to 16 inches. A flatter design and Apple Silicon are rumoured to be among the highlights.
