WWDC Keynote Roundup

June 14, 2016 hwmidkiff3

For those of you who read my post about what i was expecting from Apple during the keynote @WWDC2016; Bless you. For those of you who are grading my predictions; I got 5/5. But, lets be honest Apple isn’t keeping much of this information secret. But, that doesn’t mean Apple didn’t announce anything exciting.

watch OS3 looks phenomenal! The enhancements in iOS10 are fantastic. To top it all off; I love the way Apple strives to give the user a consistent experience on all their platforms. I look forward to the future software releases. But, I can’t wait to see what the Fall holds.

✅Siri Update

Developers will finally get to add Siri functionality to their application.

✅Apple Music Update

To build upon the current subscriber base there will be a refresh to how the music streaming ap looks and new features.

✅No New Hardware

WWDC is a software conference. So, any hardware announcements will surprise me.

✅New OSs

OS X, tvOS, watchOS, and iOS will get new features and new functionality. Also look for new ways for developers to monetize their applications on all platforms.

✅OSX has a new name

Rumors say the folks at Cupertino are feeling nostalgic and will rebrand the operating system for their personal computer to ~~MacOS~~ macOS.

WWDC 2016 Predictions

June 13, 2016 hwmidkiff3

It is the time of year for pontificating about the company from Cupertino, CA. Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference is set to start today. (You can catch the live stream here.) Many times leading up to this conference there is an electricity in the air and people waiting with bated breath; this year… not so much. Almost every prognosticator is saying Apple will not reveal anything exciting this year. Here is what I expect:

Siri Update

Developers will finally get to add Siri functionality to their application.

Apple Music Update

To build upon the current subscriber base there will be a refresh to how the music streaming ap looks and new features.

No New Hardware

WWDC is a software conference. So, any hardware announcements will surprise me.

New OSs

OS X, tvOS, watchOS, and iOS will get new features and new functionality. Also look for new ways for developers to monetize their applications on all platforms.
