Here's what to expect at Apple's WWDC this week

These are among the announcements Apple may make this week during its Worldwide Developer Conference, a multi-day event that kicks off Monday . The annual event is typically a chance for the tech company to introduce changes to the software used everyday by millions of people.

The event begins with a keynote at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, June 7. Here's what to expect based on the latest reports and rumors.The most significant hardware announcement expected during WWDC is the introduction of a redesigned 16-inch MacBook Pro, and possibly a 14-inch version, too, Bloomberg has reported.

"I'm sure Apple is aware of that competition" and has plans to counter it, said Mike Bailey, director of research at FBB Capital Partners. The iPhone maker has been working to make iMessage more like a social media platform that competes with Facebook's WhatsApp. Bloomberg reported that iOS 15 iMessage updates will include new options for automatic replies, beyond the existing auto-reply for when users are driving.Industry watchers expect Apple to double down on its privacy focus during WWDC this year.

"We expect data privacy and security to be a main focus and theme of [CEO Tim] Cook's keynote as Apple solidifies its privacy policy with the iOS 15 unveil," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in an investor note last week.The developer conference comes weeks after Apple's blockbuster trial against Fortnite maker Epic Games, in which the 30% commission that Apple takes from developers was heavily scrutinized.
