But with sources indicating the event will be light on hardware and a big software year, it won’t be too surprising if Apple saves the unveiling for another date. That would open up a lot of opportunities to offer contextual buttons and other touchscreen-like experiences and something Apple will certainly want to show off at a public event. One recent report from often accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed Apple is readying a new MacBook Pro model that include an OLED display touch bar of sorts to replace the physical function keys along the top of the keyboard.

What many Mac users are really hoping for is a complete rethink of Apple Music, iTunes, and the App Stores on Mac, but we’ll have to wait to see what the Apple Music and iTunes redesigns means for the iOS and Mac App Stores on Mac. And we should get a look at at least some Apple Music updates as another report said Apple is currently targeting WWDC unveiling of the redesigned experience. But we later detailed exactly what Apple has in store for the redesign of Apple Music and at the time noted that a new version of iTunes was in development with a larger overhaul currently planned for early next year.

Not only does that include our own earlier this year that Siri will make its debut on the Mac, but also a separate report that Apple has plans in place for a Siri SDK to give app developers full control over implementing the voice-controlled assistant in their own apps. It looks like Apple has a whole lot in the works for Siri according to a handful of recent reports. Below we roundup the rumored features for the next release of Apple’s Mac operating system and explore some of the possible new hardware we might see at the event later this month. Siri for Mac, a Siri SDK for developers, an Apple Music and iTunes refresh, Touch ID features, and possibly a first look at new Macs, Apple has a lot of interesting in-development projects it could show off for Macs and OS X 10.12 at WWDC 2016.

Apple’s WWDC 2016 will be light on new hardware announcements this year, but that will give the company plenty of stage time to show off big new releases on the software side.
