Apple has made headlines once more following its announcement of the World Wide Developer's Conference of WWDC. The tech giant will be holding the event from June 2 to 6 in San Francisco. With the company's revelation, many are also expecting Apple to shed more light on what people can expect from its upcoming releases. These include the MacBook Air Retina, iWatch and the iPhone 6.
The WWDC is a yearly event hosted by Apple to announce its new set of devices including operating systems to developers. It is an exclusive view into what developers can expect from the tech giant.

"Every year the WWDC audience becomes more diverse, with developers from almost every discipline you can imagine and coming from every corner of the globe. We look forward to sharing with them our latest advances in iOS and OS X so they can create the next generation of great apps." He added.
