The Apple's WWDC 2018 will start 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET (10:30pm IST). This year's conference will take place between June 4-8 while the media has enough fodder to speculate about the upcoming announcements.


Media reports say that Apple CEO Tim Cook may announce several updates to its OS.


According to 9to5mac website Apple fans can expect iOS 12, macOS 10.14, tvOS 12, watchOS 5, and probably a few improvements to Siri and HomePod.


“Apple typically releases developer betas of its new iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV software the same day, followed by public beta versions a few weeks later and final releases later in September,” 9to5mac wrote.


Refreshed versions of MacBook Pro with upgraded eighth-generation Intel processors and increased RAM and MacBook Air's 13-inch model with retina display are being speculated. Expectations are also high about the introduction of iPhone SE 2 at the conference.


After facing the flak over the revelation that it was purposefully slowing down iPhones to save battery life, Apple released iOS 11.3 update in March that gives users more power over battery performance.


The iOS 11.3 has added new features to show battery health of an iPhone or iPad and recommend if a battery needs to be serviced.


These can be found in Settings--Battery and are available for iPhone 6 and later.


This feature can be found in Settings - Battery and is available for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.


The new update has a "Health Records" feature that lets patients select from several health institutions to access medical information.


iOS 11.3 delivers new immersive augmented reality (AR) experiences, new Animoji for iPhone X users, access to personal health records in the Health app and more.
