Apple is kicking off its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, where it's expected to announce new features for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and other major products as well as the development of its own processors for the Mac.

WWDC is one of Apple's biggest events of the year, attracting developers from all over the world. The tech giant is holding the event virtually for the first time in the conference's 31-year-history because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Apple typically uses WWDC as an opportunity to provide developers and consumers with a preview of what's to come for all of its major products, from the iPhone to the Apple Watch, Mac computers, and Apple TV. The company sometimes announces new hardware products — last year, for example, it unveiled the Mac Pro — but the focus of WWDC is usually on Apple's software platforms rather than individual gadgets.

One of the biggest announcements we're expecting to see is the the unveil of new processors for Mac computers that are based on the iPhone's chips — signalling a big move away from chipmaker Intel.
