Apple Shares WWDC 2022 Schedule Starting With Keynote

One of the most exciting times of the year for Apple fans is just around the corner, with the Worldwide Developers Conference just two weeks away.

The keynote will be held on Monday, June 6 at 10 a.m., and will kick off Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. The time is in the Pacific. Apple is expected to show off its latest software at the weeklong developer conference.

Some lucky developers were randomly selected to attend a special day at Apple Park on June 6 for a tour and to watch the keynote video in person, because they were selected to attend the online affair again this year.

New Apple Watch Pride Edition Bands Now Available

In celebration of Pride month this June, and in support of the LGBTQ+ community and equality, Apple this week released new Pride Edition versions of the Sportloop and Nike Sportloop for $49 each.

There is a new Pride watch face for newer Apple Watches. As the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch rotates, the watch face's colorful threads move as the display is tapped, or the wearer raises their wrist.

iPhone 14 Pro Screen Refresh Rate Upgrade Could Allow for Always-On Display

Ross Young, a display industry consultant, said this week that the ProMotion displays used in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be able to drop to a refresh rate as low as 1Hz. It could pave the way for an always-on display and longer battery life. The Apple Watch Series 5 has an always-on display that allows for the clock and other on-screen elements to be viewed at any time.

iPhone 14 Pro Renders Highlight Multiple Design Changes
