Apple's WWDC Keynote
On June 8, 2015 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, Apple will kick off its Worldwide Developers Conference with a keynote at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Expect news on the next versions of iOS and OS X, and maybe the introduction of a new Apple TV box. Fast Company's Harry McCracken and Daniel Terdiman will report live from the event.
WWDC is always, always primarily about software. This year, that might be even more true than usual. We can assume that upgrades to iOS and OS X are on tap. And the one major piece of hardware which was rumored to debut--a major update to the Apple TV streaming box--now seems unlikely. Come join us to see what's new--and to learn if Apple managed to keep any of its secrets truly secret.

@HarryMcCracken: Doug Morris has a long and turbulent relationship with Apple. In 2003, he was an ally to Steve Jobs. Then in 2006, when he was CEO of Universal Music Group, Morris said that digital music players were “just repositories for stolen music." In 2007 he banded together with other record labels to compete with iTunes. Now, as head of Sony Music, he's an Apple ally once again.

These keynote waiting areas are one of the best places on earth to chat with tech journalists. I've said hello to USA Today's Ed Baig and Jon Swartz, Recode's Ina Fried and Dawn Chmieleski, TechCrunch's Matthew Panzerino, The Loop's Jim Dalrymple, and others.

Echoing what Harry said, these events are totally like family reunions for the tech press. When you've been doing this as long as I have, you run into a lot of people you've worked with.

I often wonder about Apple's shifting approach to planned leaks. We always seem to know most of what will be announced, but the question is how much they can still keep under wraps, or how much they even want to.
