Bloomberg has published its roundup of what to expect at WWDC next week, and included are notable details about what not to expect from Apple on Monday. Specifically, new Macs and iPad Pros aren’t expected to debut like last year.

With hardware likely not on the table next week, Bloomberg points to new software features in iOS 12 including a new Digital Health initiative, notification management features, ARKit 2.0 with multiplayer gaming capabilities, and potentially bringing iOS apps to the Mac as previously reported.
