Amaya Toman iOS14, watchOS 7, macOS 10.16 or tvOS 14 are expected to be presented at WWDC. The company will also focus on the smart home, and part of the conference will also be dedicated to developers. Apple Vice President Phil Schiller said that due to the current situation surrounding the coronavirus, Apple had to change the format of the conference. In previous years, the event was attended by more than five thousand people, which is an unthinkable number at the time. Especially when President Donald Trump is expected to declare a state of emergency across the country and the gathering of people will be more limited.
The event was normally held in the city of San Jose, for which it was certainly an important event from an economic point of view. Since this year's WWDC will be online, Apple has decided to donate $1 million to organizations in San Jose. The goal is to at least partially support the local economy.
