With June 2nd now creeping up on us, we're just few hours away from some significant revelations from Apple at WWDC 2014. But what are we to expect from this annual show-piece? Here, we discuss what might, and what almost certainly will be announced at WWDC, along with a few hopeful stabs in the dark for good measure.
As you'll almost certainly be aware of by now, Apple's WWDC 2014 is set to begin on Monday, and all of this week, preparations have been made within the Moscone Center venue in San Francisco. A traditional location for WWDC and numerous other Apple events, the interiors of the exhibition hall have been decorated to welcome the siege of developers embarking upon next week's event, and now, we're catching our first glimpse of some iOS 8-related signage.
The likes of Nest and Philips Hue bulbs have been integral to the advancement of the home automation scene, and now, it seems that Apple is taking a vested interest in this particular field. Apparently, we'll be hearing more about this move at WWDC 2014 next week, which will see new software features put in place to support these kinds of products.
The annual Worldwide Developers Conference usually offers an insight into software improvements Apple has been making to its product line-ups, and this year, we're once again expecting WWDC to showcase an updated iOS 8 and OS X 10.10. Apparently, though, we could also be in for some new hardware, but precisely what we're going to be getting remains an unfortunate mystery.
WWDC is regularly used by Apple to give us a first glimpse at the next-generation of iOS and provide us some valuable insights into how the company is performing and what the immediate future might look like. If that's still not reason enough to sit up and take note, then how about some fantastic free WWDC 2014 themed wallpapers for your iPhone and iPad?
Apple's WWDC event has been confirmed by the company itself, and will commence from the week beginning June 2nd. Tickets will be drawn in the format of a lottery, with developers able to apply up until next Monday, 7th April via the official WWDC site. Thereafter, tickets will be randomly drawn.
Today, as if a reminder was ever required, is the opening morning of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, otherwise known as WWDC. If you're reading this, chances are you're eagerly awaiting the revelations and announcements from Moscone West, and with the wait almost now over, here are the details of how, where and when you can watch and follow the coverage.
It's an interesting insight into Apple's current situation that everyone tends to forget all about its popular MacBook lines. While the iPhone and iPad are seen as Apple's biggest prospects, and as such can often be neglected by those of us writing about the company, it's worth noting that it is still very much invested in the notebook market, making arguably some of the best machines in the business.

If, like us, you're already perched on the edge of your seat waiting for Apple's WWDC to kick off, then be pleased that you don't have much longer to wait.
