What Apple can do
If you regularly attend WWDC you may not have
noticed, but over the past few years Apple really
has transformed the event from one that happened
behind closed doors to one that occurs live on the
Internet. Many or most sessions are live streamed,
with archived versions available on the WWDC app
for later playback. The session content of WWDC
could happen from a few studios at Apple Park,
with no need for a large
group gathering.
In terms of a keynote,
Apple has several options.
It can invite a small number
of guests to a live media
event at the Steve Jobs
Theater – possibly with
health checks for attendees- and make its major WWDC
announcements in the
same way it unveils the new
iPhone every year. I kind of
can’t imagine Apple doing a
keynote without a live studio
audience of some kind, but
it’s possible it could limit
the guest list even further,
