Worldwide Developers Conference 2022

Worldwide Developers Conference 2022 (or WWDC 2022 or WWDC22) is the 33rd annual computer conference to be hosted by Apple Inc. for its developers, scheduled to be held from June 6 to 10, 2022.

Expected announcements
Apple CEO Tim Cook has opened the keynote event at the conference since WWDC 2012. Operating system announcements, such as new versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, are typically presented by Senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi. New watchOS announcements are typically presented by VP of Technology Kevin Lynch.

“Top secret features for WWDC22”
During a demonstration of the Live Text feature of iOS 15 at WWDC 2021, Federighi jokingly leaked a whiteboard listing top secret features supposedly being planned for WWDC 2022, including:
 * Haircut reminder (use front-facing camera)
 * Personal hologram (video call stand-in)
 * Dog AirPods (AirBuds?? Does Siri speak dog?)
 * Autonomous phone retrieval (Find Me?)
 * Personal stylist feature
 * Scroll to recharge

Federighi's "crack marketing team" had also supposedly been working on names for the next version of macOS, including:
 * macOS Zeppelin
 * macOS Bigfoot
 * macOS Falcon

Background
WWDC 2020 was the first Worldwide Developers Conference to be held virtually in an online format, due to the COVID-19 outbreak that temporarily closed all of Apple's retail stores at various times around the world. WWDC 2021 was also held online in this manner due to the ongoing pandemic, so WWDC 2022 may be the first in-person developer event to be held by Apple since WWDC 2019.

Apple has also held annual scholarship events with the conference, such as the Swift Student Challenge, which was held virtually in 2020 and 2021.
