With WWDC fast approaching, Apple has created a special Apple event hashflag on Twitter that shows on tweets using the #WWDC hashtag, featuring a Swift Playgrounds logo with a colorful ring around the icon to match Apple’s branding for the event.
Apple’s no stranger to hashflags. All of the iPhone maker’s recent announcements have had event-themed hashflags on Twitter, which show whenever a user tweets with the #WWDC22 hashtag.
Hashflag Browser, a site created by researcher Jane Manchun Wong, points to the special hashflag expiring on June 11, three days after the conference concludes.
What will Apple announce at WWDC 2022?
The main focus at WWDC is on software, with Apple expected to announce iOS 16, iPadOS 16, the next macOS update, watchOS 9, tvOS 16, and more. Previous events have seen Apple unveil new hardware, such as the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR making an appearance in 2019, so there is a possibility Apple may give us a glimpse at new hardware, despite the event being primarily for software.
Apple began the transition away from using Intel chips in the Mac in favor of Apple Silicon in 2020. At the time, Apple said it was starting a 2-year transition period, with only one Mac left to receive the M-series upgrade. With that in mind, we could see Apple announce a new M-powered Mac Pro at WWDC 2022, with the machine either launching at the event or being shown early ahead of a release towards the end of the year.
