Apple Inc. begins its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2015 in San Francisco on Monday with a keynote address by the company CEO Tim Cook at 1.00 p.m. EDT/ 10 a.m. PDT. Traditionally, the WWDC has always provided a platform for developments in software as well as services for Apple's devices. However, this does not mean that the event would not be used to unveil or launch a few new products of the Cupertino-based tech titan.

According to IB Times, Apple is likely to make use of the event to unveil a number of software products, including iOS 9, OS X 10.11 as well as a native third-party app support for the Apple Watch. In addition, the company is also likely to reveal a streaming music service based on Beats Music, in addition to the expansion of Apple Pay to the U.K.

However, the New York Times and Re/ code report that though Apple was also expected to unveil an upgraded Apple TV set-top box and a streaming television subscription service, but both these have been postponed.

While several thousand developers will be attending the WWDC 2015, you can also watch the event from the comforts of your home, office or almost anywhere, provided you have a high-speed Internet connection.
