This will be the first year when&nbsp;</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>WWDC</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>&nbsp;will not have Apple's iconic founder Steve Jobs' presence.</span><br /><br /><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>Jobs had made an unexpected appearance at last year's WWDC when he announced the launch of Lion operating system. He passed away on October 5 last year, a day after the current CEO&nbsp;</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>Tim Cook</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>&nbsp;launched&nbsp;</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>iPhone 4S</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>The delay in announcing WWDC dates this year had led to some unease among the developer and analyst circles.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>At this year's five-day conference, the focus for developers will be on the future of&nbsp;</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>iOS</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>&nbsp;and OS X, allowing them to build new apps. WWDC will also feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers as well as the popular Apple Design Awards, a showcase of the best</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>apps</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>&nbsp;from the past year.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>&quot;We have a great WWDC planned this year and can't wait to share the latest news about iOS and&nbsp;</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>OS X Mountain Lion</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>&nbsp;with developers,&quot; said&nbsp;</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>Philip Schiller</span><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. &quot;The iOS platform has created an entirely new industry with fantastic opportunities for developers across the country and around the world.&quot;&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;>Developers will be able to explore the latest innovations, features and capabilities of iOS and OS X Mountain Lion and learn how to greatly enhance the functionality, performance, quality and design of their apps. Developers can even bring their code to the labs and work with Apple engineers, applying development techniques and best-practices to enhance their apps.</span>
