WWDC 2017: On From June 5 To 9 At McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California

The dates for the annual Apple event, the Worldwide Developers Conference or the WWDC, have just been announced. They are to be held over a period of five days, from June 5 to June 9. The venue is the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. Held in the last few years in the city of San Francisco, the WWDC, now in its 28th year, is returning to its original venue after 15 years. San Jose, it must be mentioned here, was the host city for Apple’s annual extravaganza from 1988 to 2002. We expect the WWDC 2017 to have a slew of products including the iOS 11 and the macOS 10.13 besides updates to the tvOS and the watchOS.

We, however, caution you not to fall for rumours and watch this space.
