With WWDC 2012 coming up tomorrow, we thought that we should have a rumour round up of all the rumours that we have featured.
Apple has already announced that it will be previewing iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion at WWDC on Monday, and Apple is also expected to introduce a number of new Macs with additional improvements.
iOS 6
Ok, first up is iOS 6. Apple hasn't really been keeping this a secret, but it will play a major role in WWDC 2012. As we have mentioned in our blog, Apple has been putting up Banners featuring the un-announced version of iOS. We will expect that Apple will go over a few new features in detail at the conference. We think that one of the biggest features will be Apples own mapping solution which has been reported by multiple sites including us. Here is a list of rumoured features for the latest version of iOS:
OS X Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain lion is another product that we all know that Apple will be discussing at the conference. Back in February, Apple announced the new version of OS X. The features included: Notification Center, Messages, Reminders, Game Center, and AirPlay. We have also mentioned some other features that may included in OS X:
- OS X Mountain Lion Adding Offline Safari Reading List and Dictation to Mac
- iOS-like automatic downloads for Apps
iCloud
Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that iCloud is a strategy for the next decade. We have seen some of the new features that Apple is planning to introduce to iCloud in iOS 6 because of a mistake from Apple:
MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, Mac Pros, iMacs and Retina-Display
Rumours have be stirring around that Apple may introduce a new line of Macs at the WWDC. We have also heard that Retina-class displays on Apple's new Macs maybe coming. Apple has already built in Retina-display support in OS X and we also expect Apple to release better hardware for their new line of Macs. Here are some more rumours that we have noted:
- Apple to Release Thinner Retina MacBook Pros at WWDC
- Apple to Update Nearly Entire Mac Lineup at WWDC
Apple TV
Apple has been rumoured to bring a television set to the market late this year or next year. Apple may even show the new operating system for the TV at next weeks WWDC. There have been more rumours about the Apple TV and that Apple will be introducing an SDK to open up the current Apple TV set-top box to third-party developers. All of these claims may not happen next week because most of these TV claims have come from a single uncorroborated source.
iPhone 5
So we have been hearing a lot about the next-generation iPhone. The iPhone is rumoured to be taller with a 4-inch display but not making the phone any wider. We have also featured many incredible mockups of the new next-generation iPhone, but with the highest-profile leak so far being a hands-on-video that shows the back cover of the device, as well as a smaller dock connector and the headphone jack being at the bottom of the device. However, it is unlikely that Apple will introduce the next-generation iPhone at next weeks WWDC. Most observers believe that Apple will stick to the September/October timeframe which was seen last year with the iPhone 4S.
