Apple WWDC 2024: What to Expect for Software and Hardware

However, over the last few years, the software news out of WWDC has been upstaged by hardware announcements. Rather than focusing on apps at recent WWDCs, Apple has used the gathering as an opportunity to unveil its M-series Apple Silicon chips, next-generation Macs, and most recently, the Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset. But this year, Apple pushed its hardware announcements out ahead of WWDC. In April, the company launched the M3-powered MacBook Air (13-inch and 15-inch). In May, it released an all-new M4 chip, along with the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air.
