Apple WWDC 2017 keynote live stream will
start at 10.30 pm IST Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (2017) starts
today in San Jose, California, and the company will make key announcements on
iOS 11, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and hardware as well.
It is Apple WWDC
2017 keynote morning in sunny San Jose, California. The tech giant, with its
head office just a few miles away in Palo Alto, it bringing its annual
developer conference back to the so-called ‘Capital of Silicon Valley’ after
2002. During the last WWDC here, founder Steve Jobs took the stage with at the
keynote where there was a mock funeral for Mac OS 9, this time it will be CEO
Tim Cook again on stage and we still don’t know what the big surprises will be.
Incidentally, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference is
returning to San Jose a year ahead of its 45th anniversary. The conference
started in 1983, when it was held at Monterey in California. The event moved to
San Jose Convention Centre in 1988. The venue is much smaller than the Bill
Graham Convention Centre or the Moscone West facility in San Francisco, but in
small town San Jose the WWDC is the centre of attention and there is nothing
else to take the limelight away.
While it is pointless speculating hours before an Apple event,
what we can rest assured is that there will be updates announced for all
software platforms from Apple — iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS. There will be hardware
announcements also this time, and we are hoping to hear about new MacBooks and
iPads.

iPod in it. A sign of things to come? Oh, and all the apps are going down and
have stopped functioning in that video. Looks like a nightmare.
10.32
pm: Silence on stage. The logo has changed. WWDC 2017 is about to
start.
10.27 pm: And Apple events start without fanfare
or drum roll. Apple CEO Tim Cook just walks in and the even starts. Talk about
being understated.

something more? Let’s see.
10.08
pm: Also, the art work this time, which is
all animated inside the venue, again highlights how Apple is committed to
ensuring a multicultural tone to whatever it does. And this is an important
message to send out now in the US and Apple has not shirked from doing so. At
the keynote be sure to see all cultures and voices represented and that is one
thing that sets Apple apart from most of the other tech companies.

it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning, both fields where Google has made serious strides.
10.03

already buzz about if there will be one more thing, and what it would be if at
all. What are your guesses? Tell us in the comments below.

and unlike the MacBook upgrade, there’s a chance these might not be showcased
so today.

pm: We are
inside the venue and it’s actually bigger than the hall at the Bill Graham

expected to unveil a new home speaker, which will be powered by Siri, Apple’s
own voice-assistant. The Siri speaker is already in production, though the
actual shipping might not begin this year. Apple’s Siri speaker will take on
Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa, and could work with home appliances which
support Apple’s HomeKit. Additionally the Siri speaker could sync with other
Apple devices as well.
9.20
pm: Apple’s WWDC isn’t just about announcements for the public. This
is also the space where developers get access to a lot of vital, inside
information from Apple, and prepare for their future applications. Check out

9.19 pm: For those who know their Apple history
well, this is the first time WWDC has returned to San Jose since 2002. At that
time, Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs was still incharge, and this was years
before the iPhone had would officially get launched.
9.16
pm: Apple’s iOS 11 could finally come with a file manager. An app
called Files was spotted on the Apple Store, and this could allow users to
access files within the iOS system. For iOS users, this could be a game
changer.
