Description:
Select developers are starting to receive their invites for Apple's WWDC 2022 on June 6 at Apple Park, a limited in-person showing of the prerecorded keynote and presentation.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
So it turns out that some lucky Apple developers will get to see WWDC 2022 in person, sort of.
This week, registration opened for a limited number of slots for developers from around the world to attend an in-person event at Apple Park in
California during the June 6 event where they'll watch the prerecorded
keynote along with other Apple engineers and staff. Due to Covid safety protocols, the number of attendees is limited and the selection from a pool
of candidates is entirely random, according to 9to5 Mac . OMG!!!!!

Accoding to Apple : "Were hosting a special all-day experience at Apple Park on June 6 to kick off WWDC22. Gather with others in the developer community
to watch the keynote and Platforms State of the Union videos alongside Apple engineers and experts, explore the all-new Developer Center, and so much
more. We cant wait to connect in person.
"This celebration marks the start of an inspiring week of sessions, labs, and lounges all online and with more activities than ever." Analysis: Getting there...
While we're pretty certain that Apple was hoping to hold a fully in-person WWDC 2022, it understandably held off considering we're still dealing with a pandemic
especially in the US where the total number of Covid death passed the 1 million mark this month.
Still, in-person events are starting to show signs of returning to something approaching normal, even if we may never fully go back to the carefree pre-pandemic days where 100,000 people crammed into a relatively tiny convention center.
But we're getting there. Whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen, but we're getting there, nonetheless. Apple officially retires the iPod
