Despite the international pandemic, Apple’s show must go on: the WWDC will be an online-only event this year.
Late last week, Apple announced that its annual WWDC, also known as the Worldwide Developer Conference, will be an online-only event allowing millions of developers across the world to connect while staying safe at home from coronavirus contamination.

Thus far, Apple has only confirmed that the digitalized conference will consist of keynote presentations and sessions during which online members can interact with Apple engineers. How interactive, however, the company will be able to make it for their participating developers is yet to be disclosed.
Updated features for each of their operating systems are expected to be announced, possibly even some new hardware.
