WWDC PREVIEW; SIRI, AR, AI, DIGITAL HEALTH
MAY 29, 2018 BY GENE MUNSTER

Apple’s annual developer conference starts next Monday, June 4th.
Consistent with past WWDC’s, announcements will be software heavy. Most notably a preview of iOS 12 and the upcoming MacOS.
We expect Monday’s keynote to be highlighted by extending the reach of Siri (most likely adding new domains, opening HomePod to more capabilities, and integrating Spotlight), along with additional AI tools (new Core ML extensions).
We also anticipate new features around digital health (privacy and device management) and ARKit (development tools).
Expect Siri integration with Beats.
Collectively, these announcements advance the ease of use and intelligence of Apple’s mobile and desktop experiences.
Consistent with past WWDC’s, announcements will be software heavy. We expect the tone of this year’s developer conference to be similar to past years.
Since 2000, we counted 47 software related announcements made at WWDC, 11 new hardware announcements, and 8 hardware update announcements.
That compares to the past five years with 19 software, 3 new hardware, and 6 hardware updates.
This year we are expecting 5 software announcements and 1 hardware-related announcement.
