The cancellation of the MWC 2020 due to the proliferation of the coronavirus was a bucket of cold water for the technology world, but it was only the first. GDC, this F8 is a Facebook conference … again now and spread within the Google I / O, an annual Google Developer event where the good news of newer versions of Android is introduced every year.
With so many cancellations comes time to accept it, because it is not the only possible if not possible: The WWDC 2020 is canceled. In fact, last year was officially announced in mid-March, so we shouldn't take too long to know something about Apple's development event. If they catch us they are definitely a very high-profile recruit, but what if you decide to cancel?
The WWDC, and the introduction of the new iPhone in September, which is two very important events each year of Apple. It gathers thousands of developers to attend a scoop to the introduction of new versions of all applications company, and one of the new devices are shown in a State of the attention.
If the WWDC is canceled, Apple will have to find another way to present to the developer all the news. It would be the first time in history when it happened, and leave iOS 14 iPadOS 14 TVOS 14 macOS 10.16 and watchos 7 without a live audience. Fortunately, in 2020 there are more than one way.
A closed door, press and inventors in their homes
Apple could do it hold the event in the Apple Park behind the closed doors of a few members of the media, which is live-streamed. It would be like WWDC can do, and we would like Apple executives in the forum to comment on the news. The only difference that it would be cheating the public or clap.
Another option is not to host events, too simply launch press release with all the news a few official videos that explain certain things. The same could be true of developer programs that run every week after key text: Instead of prerecorded video conferences and workshops. And naturally, the TAS new programs and exported easily to all public programs.
We also have more choices baking sodaSimple, issued to the media from videos and all the working meetings and conferences canceled. I don't think we get to that, because Apple has a lot of ways to go for any of the above two options.
And delayed the WWDC? I do not think it is the most likely thing. Apple has a very set schedule, iOS 14 should be preinstalled on the iPhone we'll see in September and developers should have spent all summer testing fixing the previous batas. Whatever happens, the 14 iOS and other new types of Apple applications must be submitted by June.
Of course, on Applesfera We cover during any news about WWDC20. A celebration or suspended. Do you have to a Annus horribilis major events, and I fear that Apple will not flee if the situation with the coronavirus improves.
