WWDC kicks off June 10 with Apple hinting at iOS 7 reveal

WWDC kicks off June 10 with Apple hinting at iOS 7 reveal

Get your diaries out: Apple has confirmed that WWDC 2013 will take place June 10-14 in San Francisco.

The annual Worldwide Developers Conference is aimed at developers but is often used to showcase new tech and, particularly, software.

This year's no exception, with Apple promising to give devs "an in-depth look at what's next in iOS and OS X" - we're hoping this means our first official glimpse at iOS 7.

A hard day's night

Whether we'll see any hardware at the conference keynote is another story; with the iPad 4 and iPad mini unveiled last October alongside the iPhone 5, we're not really expecting any mobile devices until later this year.

Mac refreshes are a possibility though, and we're hoping to see the successor to Mountain Lion shown off too.

Hopes are high for iOS 7 as Apple's mobile software has long started to feel a little dated.

Can we glean anything from the company's small but perfectly formed new WWCD logo? Formed of wavy app-esque tabs in an array of eight bright colours, we can't tell much beyond the fact that it will take place in MMXIII (that's Roman for 2013, fact fans).

But wasn't there a rumour about the so-called budget iPhone coming in up to five colours? Okay, it's a stretch - but with Apple you just never know…

Tickets for the show go on sale to iOS and Mac developer programme members on April 25 at 10am PDT at $1599 (around £1050 or AU$1550) a pop.
