Apple said its annual developers conference
would take place entirely online this year, joining
a growing list of companies that are canceling
big, in-person events as the coronavirus spreads.
Thousands of engineers and customers attend
the Worldwide Developers Conference, or
WWDC, which is in its 31st year.
Apple said it would give $1 million to
organizations in San Jose, California, to help
with the money they would lose from Apple
canceling the in-person event. The event had
been held in San Jose for the past few years.
