The WWDC is an event primarily for those who create software and products for Apple products. With that in mind, the revealings of iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 are expected to be the focal points of the keynote speech, with each operating system receiving ample time during the presentation. Is OS X 10.10 receiving the major visual overhaul that has long been rumored? Is iOS 8 more of an operating system about tweaks to what’s in iOS 7 rather than a whole new OS?

The iPhone 6, iWatch, Apple TV and Smart Home have all been rumored to be coming during the event. Apple has a history of only live-streaming events when big news is set to be unveiled. Will Apple shock everyone, and unveil a new piece of hardware for users at WWDC 2014?
