Sources inside apple have confirmed the cancellation of the company’s WWDC event. The event intended to showcase the launch of iPhone 9 also known as iPhone SE 2 along with other new products, however due to concerns about the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, a ban was placed on the gathering of over 1,000 people between march and April. And as a result, Apple decided it was best to cancel its yearly event and also delay the launch of its new products indefinitely. Reports also claimed that not only is there a loss of venue and a delay in launching new products, the entry of upcoming products like the iPhone 12 may likely be delayed and this is not because of the lack of parts or production materials but rather as a result of the travel restrictions which are delaying the engineers from performing the engineering verification tests (EVTs) for the 5G iPhones at manufacturing facilities in China due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
