Would need to see exactly what new hardware has been announced at WWDC.
For example, it would make sense to announce new CPU architectures like Intel and M1 since the transition heavily affects developers.
But incremental improvements to existing hardware, not so much.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI don't know what the actual breakdown is, but since ~iPhone there's almost always if not always been a hardware announcement at WWDC, even if only because the iPhone is a hard schedule and Apple has a limited number of events annually.
- chipotle_coyote 5y ago2012: The original 15" MacBook Pro 2013: The "trashcan" Mac Pro, AirPort TimeCapsule/Etreme 2017: iMac Pro, HomePod 2020: M1 MacBook Air and 2-port 13" MacBook Pro Hardware announcements do happen at WWDC, but there's no real pattern to it besides, perhaps, having a Mac available that developers would be interested in. Post-M1 MacBook Pros (and bigger iMacs) are almost certainly around the corner, but presumably they're just not ready now.
- andruby 5y agoM1 air was not announced at wwdc2020, it was announced in November 2020. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/11/apple-unleashes-m1/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/11/apple-unleashes-m1/
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoYou are correct. I was going off someone else's list and didn't double-check that. They announced Apple Silicon at WWDC2020, but didn't actually announce hardware! (Extra embarrassing because I own an M1 Air…)
