Apple is expected to have its annual developers’ conference, WWDC 2021, on June 7 on the lines of last year. Free for developers to attend, the virtual event will be a four-day affair.

Apple announced the iOS 14 for iPhones, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, its Big Sur macOS update and new Apple TV software in last year’s WWDC event,.
