As WWDC 2018 (Worldwide Developers Conference) commenced, Apple CEO Tim Cook and his senior staff cultivated a software-focused keynote, according to TechRadar’s live reports, with iOS 12 confirmed, and macOS 10.14 a given at this point.

Notably, Apple’s software contains many reconciliations to manage, including the plethora of iOS 11 problems.

For developers, WWDC offers a chance to get an idea of what they will be working within 2018, to enable planning. Tech developers can expect to be able to download iOS 12 developer beta 1 on June 6, based on proven history.

For the remaining users, WWDC is a glimpse at the interface refinements for current iPhones and iPads, and exciting new hints ahead of the theorized iPhone 9 and iPhone XI.

Last year’s Worldwide Developers Conference provided users with a first look at the HomePod, as well as the iPad Pro 12.9 and iPad Pro 10.5.

Purportedly, Apple has strategized towards less hardware for WWDC 2018.
