Amaya Toman Already next week, specifically from June 7 to 11, the next year of Apple's regular developer conference awaits us, i.e. WWDC21. Before we get to see it, we will be reminding ourselves of its previous years on the Jablíčkára website, especially those of an older date. We recall briefly how the past conferences took place and what news Apple presented at them.

Adam Kos Apple's developer conferences have a very long history, dating back to the 2005s. In today's episode, we will recall the one that took place in 6, and which was also one of the first that Apple transmitted live - that is, at least as far as its opening keynote is concerned. It was the sixteenth conference in a row, and it was held from June 10 to 2005 at the Moscon Center in San Franciso, California. The main theme of WWDC XNUMX was Apple's transition to Intel processors. "Our goal is to provide our customers with the best PCs in the world, and Intel has the best processor plans for the future. It's been ten years since we switched to PowerPC, and now we think Intel technology will help us create the best personal computers for another ten years." stated Steve Jobs at the time.

The opening Keynote started around one o'clock in the afternoon local time, when Steve Jobs entered the stage to give the opening speech and gradually introduce all the news. Among them were, for example, the arrival of podcasts in the iTunes service, the release of QuickTime 7 in a version for Windows computers, and of course also the arrival of a new operating system for Apple computers - that was Mac OS X Leopard. After the introduction of this news, Apple solemnly announced that it intends to completely switch to processors from Intel's workshop in the course of 2006-2007.
In conjunction with this transition, Apple also announced that it is releasing Xcode version 2.1 and the Rosetta emulator to enable PowerPC applications to run on new Intel-based Macs. Developers from the Wolfram Research studio also took part in the keynote, for example, and they talked about their experience porting their software called Mathematica to a Mac with an Intel processor. Users had to wait an unusually long time for the release of the Mac OS X Leopard operating system. It was originally supposed to be released at the turn of 2006 and 2007, but its release was eventually delayed to the fall of 2007 due to the development of the iPhone.
