No new hardware at WWDC 2024′

Of course, WWDC is mainly about software, but there are also hardware announcements from time to time. However, we don’t have to count on that in 2024; He says Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. Last year the 15-inch MacBook Air was unveiled, and this year there were rumors that a new Apple TV might be on the way. The opportunity for a new Mac Studio or Mac Pro with an M4 chip is somewhat missed, as they will likely skip the M3 chip and the additional powerful versions of the M4 Max/Ultra aren’t ready yet.

Instead, Apple will focus entirely on all announcements for iOS 18 and other platforms. A major update to VisionOS will also be revealed for the first time. “No hardware announcements are scheduled for WWDC,” Gorman wrote. “Unless Apple unexpectedly announces a new device that will be released later. Frankly, I don’t expect that.” Gorman previously suggested that a new Apple TV could be on the way. It will feature This is then on an improved processor compared to the current model’s A15 Bionic Meanwhile, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that Apple wants to build a camera for FaceTime calls, so you no longer need your iPhone’s camera but we can forget that too for the time being Apple has slightly reduced the price of the Apple TV in some countries, but this does not indicate that a successor will be available soon and we do not expect many innovations in tvOS 18.

So there are no new Macs at WWDC either

According to Gorman, new Macs with the M4 won’t be released until the fall, with a strong focus on AI once again. The term AI will also be mentioned regularly in the WWDC keynote, but according to Gorman, you need a recent iPhone Pro to use many of the new AI functions. For Macs, you need at least an Apple Silicon processor. Apple wants to upgrade all Mac products to the M4 chip in 2024/2025. The more expensive MacBook Pro models with the powerful M4 variant and Mac mini with the M4 will be released in late 2024 or early 2025. The Mac Studio and Mac Pro are next in line. This may take until mid-2025.

WWDC starts on June 10th with the traditional keynote on Monday evening at 7:00pm and of course we will be there and keep you updated with all the news. Apple will deliver all important software updates on the keynote evening and developers can start working on beta builds the same evening. In the week of June 11-14, there will be several workshops that you can also follow online around the world.
