“We are delivering WWDC 2020 this June in an innovative way to
millions of developers around the world, bringing the entire
developer community together with a new experience,” said Phil
Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
“The current health situation has required that we create a new
WWDC 2020 format that delivers a full program with an online
keynote and sessions, offering a great learning experience for our
entire developer community, all around the world. We will be
sharing all of the details in the weeks ahead.”
“With all of the new projects and technologies we’ve been
working on, WWDC 2020 is going to be big,” said Craig Federighi,
Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “I look
forward to our developers getting their hands on the new code and
interact in entirely new ways with the Apple engineers building the
technologies and frameworks that will shape the future across all
Apple platforms.”
The WWDC 2020 program will provide Apple’s entire global
developer community — which now includes more than 23 million
registered developers in more than 155 countries and regions — and
the next generation of app developers with the insights and tools
needed to turn their ideas into a reality. Additional program
information will be shared between now and June by email, in the
Apple Developer app and on the Apple Developer website.
Apple also announced it will commit $1 million to local San Jose
organizations to offset associated revenue loss as a result of WWDC
2020’s new online format.
The App Store® is the world’s safest and most vibrant app
marketplace, with over half a billion people visiting each week. It
remains the safest place for users to find software and provides
developers of all sizes access to customers in 155 countries and
regions. Developers have earned over $155 billion since the App
Store launched in 2008. With an active installed base of more than
1.5 billion Apple devices, WWDC 2020 will allow developers to learn
about the new technologies and frameworks they rely on as they
create new app experiences in areas including augmented reality,
machine learning, health and fitness, home automation and more.

of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in
innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
