WWDC 2019: Apple unveils Mac Pro computer, iOS13 and iPadOS, as death of iTunes announced

Apple WWDC 2019 — Goodnight Developers

Apple has unveiled updates for iPhone, Apple Watch and a host of other products – as well as its most powerful computer ever: the Mac Pro.

The company made the announcements at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, in California on Monday.

It revealed all the major software updates that it will push out to the Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV later this year.

Unlike other events such as the iPhone reveal, none of these new updates will require paying up for new products. Instead, they will come in the form of operating system updates, which will bring a whole host of new features to most existing iPhones.

Apple unveiled iOS 13, for instance, the new software that will power the iPhone. It brings with it a new dark mode, better multitasking features, and changes to the way the phones store health data.

This is the bit the coders in the audience have been waiting for: Swift.

We're getting a live demo of how Swift UI lets you create apps with a simple and intuitive interface.

My coding skills are appalling, but this demo is actually making it look easy. I feel like I'm a pro just by having watched it.

Alright, Tim Cook is back on stage. We're over two hours in so I imagine he's here to wrap things up...

That's it from Tim, and that's it from us here. But for those in attendance, WWDC is just getting started, with a full week of events, meetings and workshops for them to attend.

Bye bye Tim
