Apple 剛剛宣布，一年一度的 WWDC（ Apple Worldwide Developers Conference，蘋果全球開發者大會）將于 6 月 11 日至 6 月 15 日在舊金山 Moscone West 舉行。與往年一樣，程序開發人員將在這 5 日的會議內，可以了解到 Apple 的 iOS 和 OS X 操作系統的未來發展，使他們可以想想未來有甚么優秀應用程序可以研發。當然對于我們來說，最關心的自己是 Apple 會否同場推出全新的 iOS 6、甚至下一代的 iPhone！
蘋果全球開發者大會 2012 的內容包括：
- 超過 100 場的蘋果工程師技術講座，包含開發、部署以及整合最新 iOS 和 OS X 技術的話題；
- 超過 1000 名蘋果工程師提供給開發者的 100 多個實際操作實驗室，包括細致到代碼的幫助，會探索最佳化開發技術以及指導，告訴開發者如何將 iOS 和 OS X 的技術在自己的應用里充分展現出來；
- 和全球數以千計的 iOS 和 OS X 開發者共聚一堂，面對面交流，去年共有 60 多個國家的開發者參加大會；
- 兼顧參與性和激發靈感的午餐環節，和來自全球技術、娛樂行業的領導者以及極具影響力的任務會面；
- Apple Design Awards 蘋果設計大獎將對 iPhone®、iPad® 以及 Mac® 應用中表現出卓越技術、創新和杰出的作品進行授獎。
至于上述的圖片就是 WWDC 2012 的宣傳圖，似乎從未很難預測得到今年的主題。究竟最后我們會不會看到全新設計的 iPhone？會不會看到內建 Retina 顯示器的 MacBook Pro / Air？讓我們拭目以待吧。
