One of the biggest events in the tech industry is the Worldwide Developers Conference, which will be held June 10-14 in San Francisco. Most likely, fans of Apple Mac products will hear news of the latest products from the tech giant. In the past, the company has used the conference as a platform to announce major updates to its notebook and desktop hardware lines, including the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Other news that tech industry watchers are anticipating is an update to the iOS operating system, especially in light of recent staffing changes at Apple. Jony Ive, a British designer who is famous for being the main creative force behind the pioneering look of the iPod, iPhone and iPad, was given charge of the software division as well as hardware. It's expected that he will bring his unique aesthetic tastes to the company's mobile operating system. It's been reported in the past that he was one of Steve Jobs' closest associates at the company, so if anyone is likely to share the Apple co-founder's penchant for innovation, it would be Ive.

WWDC also provides a forum for software and app makers from all over the world to meet and collaborate on new ideas and products. As Apple's devices are useful in part because of the programs that these engineers have designed for them, it will be interesting to see what kind of developments arise out of this aspect of the event.

PortableOne will report on any news relating to updates of the Apple MacBook Pro and MacBook Air hardware lines, as WWDC is often used as a platform for announcing major changes to these products.
