APPLE WWDC 2017 KEYNOTE LIVE UPDATES: EVENT STARTS WITH APPLE CEO TIM COOK ON STAGE

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.
Apple WWDC 2017 keynote live updates below  
10.40 pm: Apple’s event has begun with a video. The guy has the original 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.

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.
10.04 pm: I am looking forward to how Apple takes the narrative ahead when it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning, both fields where Google has made serious strides.

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 what’s happening outside the venue.

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.
