is this the iphone event or something else?

Zcott

Probably not. iOS 11, next version of macOS, and possibly some new iPads.

WWDC is the annual developers conference. Nothing to do with the consumer / hardware side of things.

Apple do use WWDC for hardware (also Apple Music etc) announcements when it suits them. There's zero chance of getting the iPhone 8 though.

The first event is all to do with consumers, sure the chance of hardware is slim - especially iOS hardware - but they'll be showing off iOS 11, watchOS 4, tvOS, macOS 10.whatever and updates to Apple Music etc.

The developer keynote is on afterwards - is a much more interesting show imo - and sessions run through the week.

I am hoping there will be a new iPad mini announced aye the event but there are talks that they may be doing away with the mini altogether. Hopefully not.

DubDJ

Rumours say that there's a big possibility of the new 10.5" iPad as well as updates for the whole MacBook line-up. Supposed to be mainly spec updates.

There's talk of the supposed Siri speaker being unveiled as well. So it looks like this event could be very much split between hardware and software.

Previous WWDC's had moved away from hardware releases though.

DubDJ

Think this is one of the quietest WWDC's when it comes to software rumours. Normally by now a lot would have leaked but by the looks of it the rumours are just educated guesses.

All I've really seen mentioned were Siri improvements and a possible dark mode which always pops up but never usually happens.

I've a feeling this could mean smaller software updates across the board, especially with so many hardware announcements expected this year.

Hoping to be surprised and there will be some good stuff in these updates but it's not looking good.

DubDJ

I'm not one of those people crying out for a file manager, but I can understand if it's powerful enough it will make a lot of power users really happy.

Seems like some of the bigger features will be targeted at the new iPad 10.5". The files app would be a big one, and looks like drag and drop will be coming too which would be a great addition alongside the files app.

I'm hoping there'll be a few new iOS11 features for iPhone, a lot of the iMessage and Siri stuff from last year was useless for me as I use neither.

The first iPhone was released on the 29th June 2007.

Would they really waste that opportunity to release it for the 10 year anniversary?

I'd be 99% sure that there won't be any new iPhone announced today or anytime over the next 2-3 months.

Mostly Mac and iPad hardware expected today.

If there was a phone to be released any time in June you'd be sure as hell be seeing way more credible leaks of hardware parts. We're still only seeing 3d printed models or rough CNC milled blocked.

And I'd say most of them are just created based on leaks and renders, not actually coming from the iPhone manufacturing line. Some rumours that the iPhone will be very delayed this year too which adds to it definately not being available yet.

The store has closed so new products incoming

This is about to kick off for anybody interested

The crowd applause is very muted for all of the watchOS updates

gizmo81

Definitely. I like the interval training and new Siri watch face.

I'm hoping for vast improvements in mail.

I haven't used the mail app in a long long time

peteeeed

File system looking good

gizmo81

I've tried others like Spark recently but just prefer native apps.

They're speeding through all this. Hopefully iOS will be a larger update.

gizmo81

I'd like a touch bar Mac but the price point is huge.

Agreed

Very impressive so far , I'm don't use their map app or Siri though

gizmo81

Starting to use Siri more for setting Alarms/ timers and calendar stuff, quite handy.

The do not disturb while driving is a very cool little idea

I've never used Siri either!

So that's the first 4 almost done. What do we reckon points 5 and 6 will be? AirPods and?

peteeeed

New App Store looks good

iPad Pro ? Apple car 😁

My TestFlight app just got updated ' compatibility for iOS 11 beta '

DubDJ

In the AR demo it looked like a redesigned iPad on the table. Much flatter and thin looking.

peteeeed

Give me iOS 11 now

Dragging looks great

Yourself isit

ARkit means some device is imminent. Probably September.

Using the iPhone for ar seems pointless

DubDJ

This WWDC was hugely focused toward the pro market. iOS and macOS were very prosumer focused as well as all the hardware releases so far. Still some nice features for the average consumer too.

I reckon the last announcement will be the Siri speaker. Definately a long event at over 2 hours already.

peteeeed

Beta end of the month , sweet

peteeeed

Sonos are leaning forward

Was it just the iPad Pro that updates were announced for. Did they mention the mini or standard iPad ? I missed that bit.

Only a new pro

The spatial awareness of the HomePod looks interesting. I'm more than happy with my Bose Soundlink Mini though, and won't be changing!
