The Apple World Developers Conference (WWDC) begins today with the traditional keynote address, which begins at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
We expect to see a number of announcements, including iOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16, although it is not clear what else we will see at the event.
The redesigned MacBook Air tops the list of potential new hardware, but supply chain issues have heightened uncertainty about whether it’s up and running. Apple’s online store is currently down before the main note for the first time since 2017, which potentially suggests that we may indeed see some new hardware today.
Apple provides a live video stream on its website, on YouTube and in the company’s TV applications and in the developer applications on its platforms. We will also update this article with live blog coverage and post updates on Twitter through our @MacRumorsLive account as the main note unfolds. Highlights from the event and some news about today’s announcements will be published through our @MacRumors account.
