WWDC 2014, here's what to expect from Apple

MIRROR on what Apple is going to launch on the market is a fun sport and unnecessary . Funny because the passion for gambling and anyone can boast powers of divination , the times in which we guess , earns you points and authority ( " I had written and said ..."). Needless why, then, before you know really what Tim Cook in Serbia for us does not change things that much . But we do unnecessary things and fun are always liked and then , waiting for the WWDC that will open 2 to 6 June in San Francisco, as always, try to line up the hypothesis , reminding all , obviously, that none of the hypothesis in the field is necessarily true .

The repeated entry of the experts is that it 's been a long time, perhaps too much, since Apple has announced a real novelty in the field of hardware and that the pace of innovation in Cupertino has dramatically declined . Which is apparently true only if you think about the pace at which Apple has changed the scenario by introducing digital before the iPod, then the iPhone and then the iPad (not to mention Apple TV) . But not all the way, if you remember it was the iPhone of early and you compare it to today's iPhone 5, two machines that do not have more in common than even the operating system. And the same goes for the iPod , and iPad. Not to mention the line of computers, entirely renewed , with even some spectacular innovation as the Mac Pro Something , however, Tim Cook has prepared , he made ​​it clear in many of his speeches in recent months and weeks and more silence on the part of the company becomes deafening , it is easy to imagine that most of the innovations are coming.

IPHONE 6

The wait is greater around the iPhone 6 . 5 The iPhone has arrived in September of 2012, the updated versions 5C and 5S exactly a year later. And ' lawful imagine that by the year come the anticipated iPhone 6, but if the rule applies to an iPhone a year then have to wait until the fall ( and the Christmas Market ), although the announcement and the features may be illustrated by Cook in San Francisco. The dimensions are the most discussed matter : while all agree on the thickness, which should not exceed six millimeters, ranging from the very assumptions on the screen , including those who are convinced that Apple will merely propose a model by 4.7 inches and those who imagine , in Additionally, an iPhone Mega , with much larger screen . 5.5-inch and , according to some, even curved . Obviously, the new smartphone would Carplay , the Touch id improved, an even more advanced Siri , iBeacon to communicate data via Bluetooth at close range with a minimum consumption of energy, an A8 processor with 64-bit architecture , 1GB of RAM, PowerVR GPU and 32-128 GB of internal ROM memory , as well as an 8-megapixel rear camera .

iOS8

If the iPhone 6 will probably arrive in the autumn, in June should instead be certain the arrival of the new operating system, iOS8 , in the version for developers. If iOS8 appearance should not change much , so many are the assumptions around the substantial innovations . The largest of which , according to Re / Code, could be switching from Google to Yahoo! for searches online, freeing Apple from all Allegiance against competitors in Mountain View. That this is the desire of Marissa Meyer is absolutely obvious, but it is said that the technological difficulties (several ) can really make people realize the agreement . Yahoo! does not actually have its own search engine, uses Microsoft's Bing (which is already the default on Siri ) , so if you own Apple decides to abandon Google, it would undoubtedly be easier to forge an agreement directly with Microsoft. But overall, it must be said , Google is the best search engine around, and it would be difficult, after what has happened with the transition from Google maps to those companies themselves, support users in front of a choice again to the downside.

Of course, the much-criticized maps should still improve, with many new features, traffic monitoring in real time the ability to calculate distances by public transport, on foot and by car. And even in an augmented reality system, similar to that already experienced by Nokia maps. Brand new instead should be some app, from one devoted to health, HealtBook, which should have features worthy of a portable medical center, connected with iCloud, a new iRadio, able to compete with Spotify and Deezer. Nell'iOS should be integrated Shazam.

iWatch 

Yet doubts about the possibility that Apple will present the expected iWatch in June, the eternal promise of which there is still no certainty. Even though The Register has reported in recent weeks, with no confirmation of course, the start of production in some Chinese factories.

APPLE TV 

That the set top box Apple goes renewed there is no doubt, especially after the arrival on the market of Fire TV from Amazon. The new operating system could see forms of integration with the new machine, but even this, as highly anticipated Apple TV in your home, there is even a shadow around. It 'obvious that both machines, the box and the TV, would be particularly meaningful in the construction of a complete Apple ecosystem, but while the former is most likely within the year, for the second it is a completely new product category for Apple so revolutionary for the company. 

Well, bets are open, the possibilities are many, and Apple's Tim Cook, however, must offer something new under the sun in San Francisco, at least some product announcement coming in September. We just have to wait.
