Apple has launched a new YouTube channel that features videos from its yearly developer conference, WWDC, as well as promising to upload all of its sessions from WWDC 2024 in June.
The channel features over 40 videos so far from WWDC 2023, with sessions for Maps, App Store distribution, Spatial Computing, and more. All of these videos have been arranged into separate playlists, so you can decide which topics you’d like to watch at any time.
In the past, sessions have been featured on Apple’s Developer site, as well as in its WWDC app once the sessions had been broadcast during WWDC week. For WWDC 2024, taking place from June 10, Apple will also publish these videos to its YouTube channel.
With Apple's Senior Vice President for Marketing, Greg Joswiak, describing the upcoming conference as ‘Absolutely Incredible’, in a hint to Artificial Intelligence, WWDC 2024 is going to be one to watch in June.
