Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook on Monday will open the iPhone maker’s annual weeklong developer conference, an opportunity to highlight the company’s software prowess as investors worry about slowing gadget sales, rising inflation and a resurgence of Covid-19.
The event is mostly online, with the keynote address scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. in New York via the company’s website. Apple has invited a few people to participate in person at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., where they must meet certain conditions around vaccinations and testing.
