Despite WWDC being a software conference, there are sometimes Mac releases, and there are always predictions that there will be, but it’s very unlikely this time.

Whether it’s fuelled by wishful thinking or click bait, WWDC coverage invariably includes commentary on new Mac releases. And it invariably goes that before the event, it is rumored or certain or sometimes apparently confirmed, that there will be new Mac hardware.
Then almost always, there isn’t. And then immediately after the event, the coverage is about how there was never going to be any new Mac hardware, that’s coming in the next event.
