What to expect from WWDC 2020

 WWDC typically revolves around the software side of things. It’s where Apple reveals the upcoming updates to its operating systems so that developers can make the changes to their apps as required to support the new updates. This year, we expect the big reveal of iPhoneOS and refreshes to macOS, tvOS, watchOS and iPadOS.
 
 Apple has also sometimes announced new hardware. The HomePod was announced back in 2017 at WWDC while the new Mac Pro in 2019.
 
 This year, Apple is expected to announce its transition to ARM-based processors, starting with the MacBooks.
