In split from recent trend, Apple has yet to announce WWDC 2021

The (lack of) news: Apple has yet to announce the dates for this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

Here’s when the dates have been announce historically:

  • 2012: April 25
  • 2013: April 24
  • 2014: April 3
  • 2015: April 14
  • 2016: April 18
  • 2017: February 16
  • 2018: March 13
  • 2019: March 14
  • 2020: March 13
  • 2021: ?

Our take: While the conference will likely happen in June per usual, Apple may be waiting to announce WWDC until late April. Why? If the event is primarily digital like last year, months of notice in advance would not be necessary.
