During the Developer Conferences held by software / operating system developers, the new features that developers can use to take advantage of the full capabilities of the devices. Both Apple and Microsoft canceled their annual events scheduled for this year. Korean manufacturer Samsung has just announced that it is also canceling its annual event.
While Apple celebrated this event through a large number of recorded videos and online workshops, Samsung for the moment has not spoken about whether developers will finally be able to access this annual conference in some way or if, on the contrary, it is officially canceled, without offering support of any kind, and we have to wait for next year's edition.
This is the first time in the last 5 years that Samsung has canceled the Developer Conference, a decision that has been forced to take as a precautionary measure by COVID-19. In the official announcement that Samsung has made announcing the cancellation of this event, you can read:
We are disappointed to not be hosting this year's event and to have the opportunity to interact directly with you. Our top priority is the health and safety of our employees, the developer community, partners, and local communities.
Some reports claim that Samsung has not only canceled this event due to the coronavirus, but also because their software platforms have staked. If we talk about Bixby, Samsung's assistant, this is still as popular as a year ago. In addition, it has not launched a new hardware device on the market, such as a smart speaker, which can be gotten more out of the hand of the developers.
