WWDC2024 may not be equipped with new hardware — here's what to expect instead

That means it's unlikely a new Apple TV, M4Macbook or anything else will be revealed next week.

This statement came from Bloomberg's Mark Garman, who said in his latest power-on newsletter: "There is no hardware to be announced at WWDC, Apple" If Gurman is accurate, the keynote will include upcoming software updates such as iOS18, iPadOS18 and macOS15. We expect to focus on the next generation of AI-powered devices, and a number of AI-powered features.

Gurman also specifically mentions that the new Apple TV model is "not imminent" despite his earlier statement that Apple may announce a new version of Apple TV in the first half of 2024. I don't know the reason for this change, but since the launch of the Apple TV4K 3rd generation in 2022, it will disappoint customers who have been waiting for the new model. 

But that's not to say that Apple is not working on the new Apple TV. We've been hearing rumors for some time about the next-generation streaming box, including rumors that Apple is considering adding a built-in camera to future models or upgrading the chipset to the new A15Bionic chip.

New hardware may not be seen much at WWDC. There is, but there is still a lot to be excited about. The biggest news is undoubtedly the release of iOS18, which could bring a lot of new AI capabilities to the iphone and an improved Siri that can use voice-controlled apps. 

There are indications that you can access all the new AI features only on the iPhone15Pro. However, we assume that older iPhones will be available with a significant number of these upgrades. 

Mark Gurman is one of the biggest names in Apple journalism, so his words have a lot of weight.1 However, there can always be last-minute changes or big surprises that affect what you see on 6/10. For the time being, we will continue to update our WWDC hub with all the rumors and news up to the event, so peel your eyes off.
