Apple WWDC bans selfie sticks: users will be asked to leave the venue

[[131851]]

Beijing time, April 15th morning news, Apple has announced that it will ban the use of selfie sticks at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

Apple will hold WWDC in June. Apple's participant guidelines show that the use of professional filming equipment and GoPro sports cameras is prohibited. Personal photography and selfies are allowed, but participants are not allowed to use selfie sticks.

Apple's rules state that at the event, "You may not use selfie sticks or similar monopods. Anyone engaging in these activities will be removed from WWDC."

Apple did not specify why it does not allow the use of selfie sticks. This is probably because selfie sticks may cause accidents, leading to liability issues. In addition, the appearance of selfie sticks will make many people feel uncomfortable. An Apple spokesperson has not yet commented on this.

Recently, many large public places have announced bans on selfie sticks, including the Kentucky Derby, Premier League team stadiums, the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Palace of Versailles, the Coachella Music Festival, and Disneyland.
