Apple Inc. is first company I’ve seen to reframe a coronavirus-forced scheduling change as an innovation: This year’s WWDC will be “a completely new online experience.” https://t.co/qVqXYDPtSw

I just realised, they haven’t actually announced a date.

Just ‘June’.https://t.co/pdwBunJnPA

WWDC ’20 is online-only: https://t.co/Y78eGYa1nf

Most details TBA, but some interesting bits:

- “Apple’s entire global developer community” — sounds like “free”

- Labs? “developers … interacting in entirely new ways with the Apple engineers”

- $1M in San Jose business relief

In the most Apple move possible, #WWDC is not “cancelled” but “brings a completely new online experience to millions of talented and creative developers around the world” https://t.co/SOD2wuRryx

Apple sure knows how to announce things. https://t.co/hf5oGX3M42

— Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) March 13, 2020

Welp, there it is. I’m not seeing anything about *how* it’ll be a new experience.

I’m very interested in what they’ll do different to try to build the same excitement in the community they do with the in-person stuff https://t.co/sMRAgFHgVX

— Charlie Chapman (@_chuckyc) March 13, 2020

No date yet either for the conference. This gives Apple some fluidity too in case things are running a week or 2 behind. Obviously, in this case, no one wants Apple to have that benefit. I’d imagine they do the keynote at the Steve Jobs theater with a thin employee audience. https://t.co/7BZBPC4psj

Lol someone joked that Apple wouldn’t say that WWDC was gonna happen online because of Coronavirus, but instead would claim that they came up with a brand new online experience for it. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. https://t.co/HQKU3XTHkD pic.twitter.com/EO3uKQhjnm

Ah the luxury of announcing later than others gives you the ability to make it look like a plan rather than a pivot #WWDC2020 fully onlinehttps://t.co/gpTRI0KWMs

— Carolina Milanesi (@caro_milanesi) March 13, 2020

Apple's WWDC 2020 press release is pretty bare bones. An online format was the obvious path forward. The details (which likely are still being worked out) will be interesting. For example, how will this online keynote work? What about the developer / Apple engineer labs?

— Neil Cybart (@neilcybart) March 13, 2020

Honestly this is the best thing that could happen for Apple developers, regardless. ?✨ WWDC has become unaffordable and unobtainable! Online is the way to go. ?? https://t.co/Kd76lyFi4J

Apple becomes the latest to shut down a big event. This June's #wwdc2020 will not be held in San Jose. It'll be held everywhere (a virtual event): https://t.co/y1ym8ShRx8

WWDC 2020 details:

Apple's WWDC 2020 is online-only press release doesn't include the word "coronavirus" or "covid," just one mention of "the current health situation" and a million bucks to San Jose businesses.https://t.co/1u7BdUsQBt

— Dieter Bohn (@backlon) March 13, 2020

Why can't Apple speak like a normal company? I had to read this three times just to be clear that they mean "there is no WWDC in San Jose this year." And I still don't know what it *will* be. Stop burying the lede.
