The new switches have been a headache for the company since they were launched back in 2016, including reports of increased failure rates and the looming specter of class action suits. New Intel processors under the hood are the likeliest addition on that front. New MacBook Pros seem like a reasonable candidate for the event. After all, Apple’s already got the eyes of the tech world on it this week, so why announce some new gadgets? This being a developer conference, hardware is never the primary focus for the event, but it always seems to sneak its way in. ARKIT 2.0 has been rumored for the event, bringing the ability for multiple users to share the same AR environment, to facilitate IRL multi-person games and other activities.

Speaking of no-brainers, Apple could use some news on the augmented reality front, after a full year of hype. What, exactly the wearable OS will look like, however, is strictly conjecture at the moment, though the long-awaited addition of Spotify has been rumored, and fitness features, as ever, seem like a no-brainer. While the company seems unlikely to actually show off a newer version of the watch itself, we’ll probably get a glimpse at Watch OS 5. But Apple’s own wearable initiative has been a much more consistent success story for the company. In spite of a recent rename, Wear OS got virtually no love at Google I/O the other week. The system would essentially provide seamless syncing between apps on the two operating systems, allowing users to switch between devices, picking up where they left off. MacOSĪpple’s desktop operating seems poised to get a little less love that its mobile counterpart, this time out - but honestly, what else is new? In fact, the biggest rumor on this front is the addition of so-called “Universal Apps,” which further blur the line between desktop and mobile. If “Digital Health” does get added here, it will join the likes of Facebook and Google in a push to give users more insight into their hardware habits. Just this morning, word of a new digital well being features made the rounds, bringing into sharp focus the amount of time users spend on their devices. NFC-based door unlocking is one of the more compelling rumors, this time around, bringing even more highly personal functionality to Apple’s handsets.Ī bigger push into personal health seems like a no-brainer, given everything that Apple’s been focusing on with its wearable. That said, there’s likely to be at least a few interesting new, consumer-facing additions to iOS this time out.

11.4 provides some key insight into the state of the ecosystem and, perhaps, a glimpse into where Apple is going as it continues to build connections between its various software offerings.

WWDC 2018 RUMORS UPDATE

The company dropped the latest update to its mobile operating system just week.

iOS and MacOS will no doubt be the focus of the show per usual, but ARKit, Home Kit, Watch OS and some hardware are likely to make strong showings at the event, as well.Īpple’s certainly surprised us before, but here’s our best (educated) guesses at what the company will be showing off in the next week. As matter of fact, things kick off in San Jose on Monday morning at 10AM PT (1PM ET).Īs ever, the main thrust of the show will be focused on developers - it’s right there in the name - but Apple also loves to use yearly spotlight as an opportunity to make some big announcements on the consumer side, as well.

That means Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference is just around the corner. According to the calendar, it’s somehow already June.
