Scenes from WWDC 2019 — Apple's swag for attendees and the convention center

It's the eve of the World Wide Developers Conference and AppleInsider is on the ground! Today is the day that Apple pre-registers attendees, and hands out their swag bags, and we couldn't wait to show you what was in ours.

Apple has continued the longstanding tradition of giving out pins to convention attendees. Our set includes five magnetic pins, a sleek black Apple logo, a "hello" pin, a Tim Cook Memoji, a "Call me!" hand sign, and a mind-blown skull.

This year also includes a slick-looking reversible windbreaker-style jacket, one side a solid black and the other a vibrant red, covered in emoji, Memoji, and doodles. These jackets are also available in blue and orange.

Apple's WWDC workers, generally pulled from retail stores across the U.S., greet early registrants to the event.

A Valley Transit Authority train pulls up to the convention center, dropping off attendees who are eager to get a first look at what Apple has in store.

This year we're expecting to hear about iOS 13 which is likely to include a much anticipated dark mode and updated fitness features. WatchOS 6 will likely see new faces and complications, as well as a stand-alone App Store. We also may hear news on the Mac Pro.

AppleInsider will be reporting live throughout WWDC 2019, starting with the keynote on Monday, June 3. Get every announcement as it happens by downloading the AppleInsider app for iOS, and by making sure to follow us on YouTube, Twitter @appleinsider, Facebook and Instagram.

Long standing tradition of giving out pins at wwdc?  I’ve not been since 2015, and they did not give out pins that year.

The black Apple logo is intriguing. Could that be linked to a new Mac Pro?

Interesting idea. But the previous Mac Pro was dark. Its logo was lighter than the black colour but was darker than your average logo.

It really looks and sounds exciting, I’m going to hope that iOS13 gets major mention and those black pins really rock!
