WWDC: EXPLORE ALL NEWS FROM THE VIRTUAL KEYNOTE

Although this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference was a little different amidst the coronavirus pandemic, Tim Cook, Craig Federighi, and Friends still managed to lift the lid on a whole host of new innovations for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS - and confirmed the long-awaited transition from Intel to Apple-powered chips for its iMacs and MacBooks.

The coronavirus pandemic has hit virtually every aspect of our lives, and WWDC is no exception. Back in March, Google canceled its own technology conference, I/O 2020 , and others followed suit - like Facebook and the Mobile World Congress. The direct loss of such events reached more than $1 billion for the tech giants , and though some have changed their strategy - including Sony, who announced PlayStation 5 during its own virtual event - it was Apple who pioneered and maintained some sense of normalcy, even if it couldn’t physically welcome developers to its Steve Jobs Theater.
