History of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference

Apples Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC for short, is an annual event organized by Apple that gets a ton of attention from all over the world. It’s one of the most anticipated technology events every year since its when Apple makes some of their biggest software and hardware announcements. We’ll look at an overview of the conference as a whole and then get into some of the more detailed history of the event since it first started.

And when did it start exactly? Well the first WWDC was held back in 1987. The conference was and continues to be a massive showcase for Apple that gives journalists, developers, tech insiders, students, and the general public a chance to get a first look at new products and software to be released by the company. The five-day event begins on Monday morning with a keynote address followed by different sessions like workshop presentations, lab consultations, social events, and meetups until Friday when everything comes to an end. Sessions cover topics like programming, hardware changes, app design, and more, and are presented by Apple engineers themselves. Most of these sessions are filmed and live-streamed and made available for viewers on-demand after the conference. In addition to these sessions, conference-goers can meet with Apple developers one-on-one to workshop app ideas and prototypes or get advice on a variety of app-related topics.

Does anyone else fantasize about attending a WWDC?

As professional conferences go, and given the value WWDC can have for professionals, the price is a steal.

You forgot to mention the release of HomePod in WWDC17.

The old MacWorld Conventions were fun. I attended several in the late ‘90s.

I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I figured this video would be as good a place as any to say this. I feel like ever since Covid happened, and Apple switched their format from live presentations to more "Nintendo Direct" style conferences, their conferences have sorta gone downhill. Used to you had guys like Steve Jobs, or Phil Schiller, among others, who were full of so much charisma and humor, giving their presentations this authentic down to earth feel. But now with the recent format changes, the products are presented by a sea of nobodies, who are clearly just reading off a prompter, and come across as condescending or disingenuous, just like every company does with their product reveals. Am I alone in thinking this? I know people like Craig are still a part of some of these shows, but due to the format change, he now just reads off the prompter instead of using improvisational humor like he once did. This all might not be a big deal to some people, and some might even argue the new format is good, cause instead of the people stealing the show, the products can speak for themselves. But idk, what made Apple stand apart from all the other companies was how great their conferences were, and they were great because the people on stage felt like they had a passion for the product. These nobodies I see in the Apple conferences now just remind me of the same people you would see at a Microsoft or Google conference, or a cringey E3 presentation. It's like they just gathered up a bunch of students and told them to read the script, at least that's how it comes across. It makes the conferences boring and passionless in my opinion.

With all that being said, idk if this opinion is shared by anyone else, but I wouldn't mind seeing a video maybe tackling the subject of the format change, from live shows to more direct style shows, and how they differ, as well as what others' opinions are on these new showings. Maybe I'm in the minority, maybe everyone else loves the new format and these new people presenting stuff, but for me, I just skip watching them now, when back in the day I would cancel doctors appointments so I wouldn't miss one.

Is there an event/conference like this for Microsoft where Bill Gates speaks?

[BYTEXX.]

8:37 Apple Computer Inc. I feel not so good

[lindsayhengehold]

The developers conference is pretty cool but I don’t care much for Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak or Tim Cook.

Fireworks and other explosions are horrible. Other animals, like cats and dogs, get absolutely terrified by fireworks. Causing such intense, unending fear is unjustifiable. Humans are animals, and no more special than any other creature.

The more I watch these videos the more I begin to think you are trolling us with these incorrect data points. The iPhone was announced in January 2007 and released in June of 2007. Not
This is like the 3rd one I have heard you speak and yet no correction videos or
