WWDC21 Preview from the Apple Silicon Labs!
Everything we’re expecting (and Hoping for) at Apple’s 2 June events!

Is WWDC still for developers?
Software platforms, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS and macOS. And it seems that this year, according to Apple’s own job listing that was hastily corrected, homeOS may well be joining the party. This is most likely to be the name for HomePod software although many have speculated that it could incorporate tvOS too, being the OS that supports Apple’s HomeKit smart home devices.

iOS is expected to get updated lock screens, though even this may not be announced if its designed specifically for the rumoured always on displays on the next generation of iPhones, with their variable refresh rate displays. There have also been some minor tweaks seen to the way that iOS settings are displayed, with pill shaped options rather than full width that we have right now.

Over at iPadOS everyone is hoping for some bigger changes to the way the OS works, separating it a bit further from iOS.

tvOS will get deeper integration with HomeKit devices I’d guess, the colour calibration could have been a new OS feature easily but Apple introduced it for the new model in April, so perhaps they have more up their sleeves or perhaps we’ll get trailers for another AppleTV Plus show and Ted Lasso merchandise. You know, because Devs love Ted Lasso.

watchOS could well be adding more to Apple Fitness Plus, Sleep Health or something similar, and perhaps there could be some detection of conditions like Sleep Apnea included too.

And then Hardware. As we all know, WWDC is a software event where Apple doesn’t release hardware. Except 2017 where Apple Announced updates to the iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, the iMac Pro, 10.5” iPad Pro and the first HomePod. Or 2019 with the new Cheesegrater Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. Or last year when Apple announced the transition to Apple silicon. OK, not a system, but the M1 is hardware, so I’m taking it.

As usual, renders are provided by the very talented Apple Tomorrow who also rendered the lab behind me. Go check out Saad on Twitter. @Apple_Tomorrow

So in order of, for me, most likely to least likely but possible…
MacBook Pro 14” and 16” tops the list, and introduces the M1X or whatever Apple calls their high performance variant of the M1 generation. Rumoured to have 10 cores, 2 efficiency and 8 high performance along with a 16 or 32 Core GPU.

These MacBooks are also rumoured to bring back MagSafe, HDMI ports and an SD Card reader built into the system, along with improved displays, possibly with miniLED XDR displays. These are questionable though due to possible supply constraints but we’ve seen conflicting information on both sides of this. I’d expect pricing to be consistent with the mach
