Apple WWDC 2020: What to expect, when, where to watch?

When tech giants like Google and Facebook decided to cancel their events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple took the online-only approach to continue its work while keeping everyone safe.

However, even during these extraordinary circumstances, some things will remain unchanged, like the opening keynote, which will be headed by CEO Tim Cook and possibly senior executives Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi.

The keynote brings a number of software and hardware products, appealing to both Apple developers and fans alike.

On the software side, this year's presentation is expected to include iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, watchOS 7, and macOS 10.16 with new capabilities.

Meanwhile, in the hardware category, the company could announce a new iMac, Apple TV 4K, and possibly the long-rumored Apple AirTags.

Along with the fancy hardware and software, Apple could also announce the shift from Intel-based chips to its own custom-made ARM-based chips for Macs.

The move, if announced, would take a year or more to be implemented but will be the biggest news from WWDC, allowing Apple to offer thinner laptops with enhanced power efficiency and better graphics performance.

The opening WWDC 2020 keynote starts at 10:30 pm IST on June 22, Monday, and Apple will be streaming it live.

You can watch the event by heading over to Apple's events page, or the company's channel on YouTube, or to the Apple Events app on Apple TV.
