Going to be a pretty crazy week with both E3 and WWDC happening! I'm really excited to see what Apple shows off. Here are my predictions:
iOS 7
- New flat, but not too flat look. Still rounded icons :) [CORRECT]
- Icons for apps can now show limited real-time data (kind of like WP8 live tiles) [WRONG]
- Better use of space with shortcut toggles in the notifications dropdown [CORRECT]
- A new indicator at the top when you have any notifications [WRONG] (it is better though)
- More options for things to put on the lock screen [CORRECT]
- A more open App Store, including approval of emulators soon!
- iMusic or iRadio, streaming service (not ad supported though as the rumors go) [CORRECT]
- Airdrop to your iDevice [CORRECT]
- Better iCloud options and services, increased space for everyone by default [iWork only]
- New designs of all major Apple Apps: Mail, Clock, Game Center, etc - with less or no skeuomorphism [CORRECT]
- Siri API, allowing devs to integrate their apps with Siri [WRONG]
New Mac Hardware:
- Brand new MacBook Airs (but not Retina) [CORRECT]
- A super powerful Mac Pro with a new tower case design [CORRECT]
- Apple TV 4.0 - Now with a new remote that also acts as a game controller (but not a crappy game controller, something like the 360's) [WRONG]
- Apple TV App Store - devs will be able to start writing apps and games for Apple TV [WRONG]
- Apple TV 4.0 - 16gb, 32gb, 64gb options, starts at $149 [WRONG]
OS X 10.9:
- Your guess is as good as mine!
- I hope they call it 'Albino Panther' (the nickname of a friend of mine lol) [WRONG]
Other:
- There's rumors of a new Ad network, but I have no guesses here [?]
- Apple announces purchase of Nintendo, allowing for all 1st party Nintendo titles to be on iOS [WRONG]
- No iPad or iPhone Hardware [CORRECT]
Think I'll be right on any of it? ;)
