WWDC 2014

[The Boosh!]

Happening on the 2nd June 2014.

Be interesting to see what is announced.


[FONT=open_sansregular]Apple will be streaming this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on June 2 at 10 AM PT (1 PM ET), the company announced today. Apple only sometimes streams live video of its special events, and never announces its intent to do so this far in advance, so this is an interesting development.[/FONT]
[FONT=open_sansregular]The company doesn’t say what’s going to be on the docket at the show, but it does say that it’ll be making “exciting announcements.” We’ll also be in attendance, to bring you the latest on what’s likely to iOS 8, OS X 10.9.3, and probably some hardware news as well. Rumors suggest we could see news from Apple regarding health tracking and home automation platforms, but regardless it’s bound to be an interesting show with plenty of news to dig into.[/FONT]
[FONT=open_sansregular]Apple also doesn’t make specific mention of this as a developer focused event or keynote in this new page and announcement (only the acronym for WWDC is used, in fact) so it’s probably fair to expect a decent amount of consumer-oriented news on that day as well. Note that streaming requires Safari 4 or later on OS X, iOS 4.2 or later, or QuickTime 7 on Windows.[/FONT]

Thoughts Luke? I miss the exciting days of a iPhone unveiling. I'm not sure i'll have a 6 or not. I may move to Android, something I never ever ever thought i'd say.

 

[The Boosh!]

An iPhone isn't expected. No one really knows tbh.

I'm hoping for a more useful Apple TV box, but don't know if that would ever come. A smart watch would be a good announcement too.

Also reports that they are looking at unveiling some smart home tech.

Not a clue!

iOS 8 with a focus on health apps, design overhaul of OS X for the mac and Siri being able recognise songs, like Shazam..... just based on rumour sites.

I'd like a descent Apple TV. That's all, with own apps so I can install Plex.

Would consider a new Mac Mini.

I do not get as excited as I used to.

 

[CrippsCorner]

What time does this start in the UK?

Its always 6pm isn't it?

 

[paddymph]

New watch? New phone? New Apple tv with downloadable games? Hasn't one apple exec gone on record saying it's the best announcement for 25 years as far as hardware goes..? Big statement!

 

[DB.]

I'm just looking forward to the next iPhone release as I wouldn't mind a new toy/upgrade from my 5.

Will this be anything to do with the Beats takeover? Probably too soon on second thoughts for them to release something related to that.

I'd bet on a new product all together IMO.

Rumours of a new iPhone in August which would put an announcement in July going by normal times, that's not going to happen here!

I'd have thought September tbh.

 

[DannyR]

Yea that's my thinking too, is the a 6 rumours thread like there was with the 5? Been a fair dew similar dummy phones etc being shown.

 

[paddymph]

That's all I'm interested in really is the new phone, feels like ages since I've been excited about one of these announcements

 

[Gally]

The only thing aiming me towards a 6 is the fact the S5 will have been out for months by the time the 6 is out. Lets just hope the screen will be adequate size, even S4 size.

 

[paddymph]

I don't think we'll hear anything about a phone tonight will we..?

 

[CrippsCorner]

Probably not, usually more software related ain't it? But it is a week long conference lol... got to be something exciting in there right?

 

[paddymph]

 

[jam.]

If theres any massive hardware changes involved they may make a nod to it, but I'd be surprised if a new phone is shown.

I guess there'll be a lot on iOS 8 & OSX 10.10 - and you'd have thought Beats/Dr Dre might get a mention.

 

[Gally]

There will be no phone but I like chatting about it.

 

[Danny133]

WWDC isnt a hardware event, its World Wide DEVELOPER CONFERENCE .. its for Devs to learn .. the keynote just highlights to them what the changes are and what they can utilise within them

Yosemite look's pretty cool!

 

[jam.]

Times, they are a changin'. A couple of years back this thread would have about a million posts by now.

 

[Danny133]

Yosemite looks beautiful but it's a boring update feature wise so far!

 

[Danny133]

Meh, maybe not .. SMS and phone call .. s**t just got interesting!

 

[paddymph]

ace

 

[.Simon]

Oh my

 

[jam.]

[DB.]

Liking that.

Phonecalls available via iPad though?

 

[Reev]

[Danny133]

Liking that.

Phonecalls available via iPad though?

About to find out!

 

[paddymph]

most people would want it via ipad I think

 

[CrippsCorner]

Calling Dr Dre lol, cool. Anyone get the live stream to work? I downloaded Quiktime but it's still not working, wording makes it sounds like you might have to be viewing from a Mac...

Mine's working fine, I am on an iMac though.

 

[paddymph]

[.Simon]

Should be able to watch it on iPhone / iPad I would have thought?

 

[CrippsCorner]

Meh nevermind, liveblog from Verge is good enough. I just don't like the reporter, typical fanboy who's creamed his pants ten times already!

Nope. Just says... Get QuickTime. Then I get QuickTime, and it says Get QuickTime

 

[jam.]

[DB.]

Quicktime is code for 'Get a Mac'
