Apple

Apple holds events several times each year to announce new products and services. Aside from the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), there are usually Spring and Fall events that zero in on certain products.

A random extra event can pop up, too, as it did in October 2021 to announce the new MacBook Pro and the 3rd generation of AirPods.

What Is the Next Apple Event?

The next Apple event will be its Worldwide Developers Conference, which will take place June 6-10, 2022.

How to Attend the Event

Apple usually offers a free live stream to everyone; the June 2022 event is expected to be no different. Crank up your PC or mobile device and connect in to see what the tech giant has to show.

What Announcements Will Apple Make?

Apple likes to keep everyone on their toes and doesn't release much information to the public before the event.

That said, Apple is expected to reveal the new operating systems iPadOS 16, iOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9 during its June 2022 event.

Below is a look at what happened at the March 2022 event.
