Apple has announced that it will host its 29th annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California from June 4 through June 8 at the McEnery Convention Center.
The normal slate of events are expected at the event, including debuts of iOS 12, macOS 10.14, and new watchOS and tvOS versions as well.
Apple will host over 100 technical and design-focused sessions presented by Apple engineers. Hands-on labs will guide developers through new features, directly from the engineers who helped build the latest advances in Apple platforms.
A calendar of events is not yet available. Apple has also not yet updated the WWDC app to reflect the new show.
Apple's hardware intentions at the event are not yet clear. For years, Apple did not generally debut new gear at the WWDC, but opted to refresh a large array of it at the event in 2017. Possibly on tap are a pair of new iPads, and a dramatic MacBook Air refresh.
Developers can apply for tickets from now through March 22 at 10 a.m. Pacific time through the WWDC website. Tickets are issued through a random selection process, and developers will be notified of application status by March 23 at 5 p.m. Pacific time. Up to 350 WWDC Student Scholarships are available this year

And now to decode this years image.
Everything is going to be baked into each other. Two operating systems but unified across GUI and HUD and macOS will be able to run iOS apps.
Can't wait...I love these events! :)

So Apple for the second year in a row is skipping a March event to announce WWDC in March instead. I would be surprised if there is no hardware refreshes.
I feel they could outline the same style as last year, announce a new major redesign mac(iMac last year, probably Macbook [air]) this year, then throw in minor updates to the rest the Macs and Announce the MacPro(iMac Pro last year), which will still be months away. Also an iPad update added in.
