Apple is always innovative and adaptive. Due to the pandemic, Apple organized the previous two events of WWDC online, however this one is going to change now. Last month, Apple announced the WWDC 2022 event to train and educate the developers about the upcoming updates in the software and Apple devices.
As the situation around the world is improving due to fading COVID-19, Apple has allowed the developers to register to attend in-person WWDC 2022 at Apple Park. The attendees were selected randomly according to Apple and now they are also getting the invitation to attend the special in-person event.
You may have noticed that this year’s WWDC 2022 is also pre-recorded and online. However, Apple is inviting only a few developers to attend the in-person event along with Apple’s engineers and designers. The process of registration for WWDC 2022 was the same as the had been previously before the pandemic.
Interested developers had registered through the Apple Developer Website. Only one restriction was placed on the WWDC 2022 which is to invite only a few developers owing to the risk of COVID-19.
Special Event at Apple Park
Apple is going to kick off WWDC 2022 on June 6 at Apple Park. The WWDC usually showcases the updated technologies and software in iOS, iPad, and all other Apple devices. Developers along with the Apple engineers and experts watch the Keynote and learn a rudimentary understanding of the technology.
