Apple WWDC Sells Out in Hours
Posted in: Today's Chili
At some point Apple events became the, oh, I don’t, let’s just say the U2 concerts of the tech world. Even at $1,599, events like the annual World Wide Developer Conference are becoming the sort of occasion for which you have to sit and your computer and hit refresh a thousand times, in hopes of scoring a good view of Steve Jobs’s New Balances.
WWDC sold out in a manner of hours this year, Apple stamping a big red “Sold Out” over the Buy Now button. Now tickets are going for nearly double their face value on sites like eBay.
The event is set for June 6th to 10th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Apple SVP Philip Schiller has promised to “unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS” at the developer event. Past years have seen the launch of hardware like the iPhone, though the tech press seems pretty spectacle on the matter this time out.
