Apple’s last event, “Let Loose,” unveiled the iPad Pro 2024 and iPad Air 6, but we’re fast approaching WWDC 2024.
The week-long developers conference kicks off on June 10, 2024, at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm BST or at 1 am ACT with a keynote. While we aren’t expecting new hardware, Apple will likely show off its next-generation software and AI ambitions.
If you’re focused on more Apple hardware, later this year, we should get the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, along with the Apple Watch 10 and perhaps even more iPads.
Read on for more about WWDC 2024, future Apple events, and more details on what happened at the last Apple showcase.
When is the next Apple event or product reveal?
- WWDC 2024 confirmed for June 10
- Expect the iPhone 16 to debut in September
It’s hard to predict exactly when Apple will reveal new products next. There’s a chance it could unveil new devices at or around its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10, but that event is predominantly software-focused.
We’d be fairly confident we’ll see the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models get a reveal this September, as that’s when Apple tends to reveal new phones. So there’s a good bet that’ll be the next time Cupertino’s crew shows off new products.
WWDC 2024’s opening keynote should see Apple unveiling iOS 18, iPadOS 18, as well as the next version of macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and the second generation of visionOS, which powers Vision Pro. Much like Google’s Gemini, Samsung’s Galaxy AI feature set, or even Microsoft Copilot AI PCs, Apple will likely weave AI features into its platforms.
With iOS 18, we’ve seen reports that Siri can control more aspects of the system and even application-specific tasks. Additionally, you can expect upgrades to Apple-made apps, including new summarization tools in the mail, messages, and Safari while web browsing. There’s even been some talk about Apple potentially partnering with ChatGPT to help bolster its AI tools. You can read about the five things to expect at WWDC here.
What happened at the last Apple Event?
- New iPad Pro Air and iPad Pro tablets M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips
- Brand-new Apple Pencil Pro and updated Magic Keyboard
- An efficiency-focused M4 chip
Apple’s last event took place on May 7, 2024, and saw the reveal of the iPad Air 6, which now comes in 11-inch or 13-inch configurations and has the M3 chip.
Apple also revealed the new iPad Pro 2024 range, which sees the pro-grade iPads get OLED displays and the new M4 chip, which offers greater efficiency over the M3 chip yet offers dekstop-like performance.
Alongside the new tablets, the Apple Pencil Pro got revealed, bringing in new features such as advanced gestures, Find My device location support, and the option for app developers to create their own custom interactions. The Magic Keyboard also got a nip and a tuck, being thinner and lighter and now getting a row of function keys; it also comes in two colors: Silver and Space Black.
