In April, Apple has named the date for the conference WWDC
2013 (World Wide Developer Conference). This year's event will be held from 10 to
14 June in the exhibition center "Moscone West" (San Francisco ). WWDC is a major event for all
Apple developers and the media, as this area is often used to announce new
products of the company.
According to official reports, this time Apple announced the
next version of the operating system OS X and iOS. What else can surprise the
iPhone maker and iPad? Let's take a look.
iOS 7
Without a doubt, iOS 7 - the most anticipated release of the
upcoming conference. The probability of announcement of the new OS is almost
one hundred percent. It is difficult to predict the features of the next
firmware for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Apple TV, but some information is
still available. According to media reports, the seventh major version of
"apple" of the OS will be very quite different from what we can see
now, in particular, will disappear all the signs of gloss simulation of real
objects in virtual.
The interface of mobile “OSes” Apple, in fact, has not
changed since 2007. User access to all the same a few pages home screen for
organizing applications, the ability to create folders of applications and
multitasking bar to the last running applications. Therefore critically
important to update the software as an interface shell and functional mobile
OS.
Now over the look of the operating system running Jonathan
Ive, the chief designer of Apple. In this connection we should expect major
changes in the aesthetic appearance of the OS: the interface is supposed to be
more "flat" and minimalist, like Windows Phone. To get a rough idea
of which way to go Apple, you can look at the latest version of the firmware
application Podcasts .
It is said that iOS developers are eager to build 7 more opportunities
in the interface for quick, easy, and the OS itself should remain simple and
intuitive to use even for untrained users. It is reported about the idea to add
a pull-out panel on the right and left sides of the screen, which will provide
easy access to some short-term information.
OS X 10.9
Replace the current desktop platform OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
is OS X 10.9 under as yet unknown codes. According to rumors, the new operating
system for Mac will focus mainly on functions aimed at advanced users, as well
as borrowed from the iOS mobile platform concepts.
File Manager Finder appeal to the tabs and labels: Now
technically savvy users must use third-party tools for easy file management.
Safari Web browser will improve the "engine" in order to download and
processing of web pages seriously accelerated. Multi-monitor mode, this is not
particularly willing to support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, learn to keep open on
one display separate space or full screen application.
If OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion offered a variety of applications
from iOS, including messaging, notes, reminders, Game Center
The main question is what is the name of the next version of
OS X? Who is the most frequently occurring in the media name for the new OS is
"Lynx» (Lynx).
iCloud
iCloud in its present form does not differ from the original
cloud service Apple, launched in 2011. Some innovations have followed along
with the release of the iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion, but no major changes were
made. This year, Apple could implement something new, thus extending the functionality
of the service.
For example, it would be superfluous control function is
dependent on the type of data that is synchronized current network connection.
In other words, if the currently active Wi-Fi - you can synchronize the
"heavy" content, such as videos. But if the only available 3G - let
syncs something lighter.
ICloud potential is huge, and, of course, Apple will find
new ways to use their service.
iRadio (Continued iTunes Match?)
Along with the iCloud in 2011 Apple introduced iTunes Match.
This service was launched almost at the same moment when it made the main
competitors of the company - Amazon and Google. iTunes Match allows you to
upload your entire library to the cloud and then listen to music streamed to
any device that supports iCloud. However, while all accustomed to the use of
cloud services like Spotify and Rdio, iTunes Match feature is not of great
interest to the public.
In Apple understand this and are working on a new service,
" iRadio ". Strong relationships with record companies that sell
their music through iTunes, will help the company to launch such a service
without any problems. It is quite likely that his announcement will take place
at the WWDC 2013. It is unlikely that "apple" is a separate radio
service. Most likely, Apple will position it as the further development of
iTunes Match. In any case, the essence of it remains the same.
New MacBook Air and MacBook Pro
According to rumors, Apple hopes to upgrade the line of
laptops MacBook shortly after WWDC 2013. Sami laptops may be announced during
the event.
It is proper if and MacBook Air will get Retina-display, but
the current technology does not seem to allow you to maintain a reasonable
fineness profile of this laptop if it will move to the high-resolution screen.
This product will be, but later, because "eiram" should continue to
be the brand of "most thin and light."
MacBook Air will be updated the design, and the same is true
for the MacBook Pro, but to a lesser extent. Most likely, the redesign will
affect the "internal" and not the appearance of products. The central
point of attraction of laptops deliver a new processor platform Intel Haswell,
is substituting for micro Ivy
Bridge
At the request of Intel, Haswell-chips originally designed
for Ultrabooks, because we should expect a fair extension of battery life on a
single charge, which is stated within 9-13 hours. Now all the MacBook can hold
an average of 7 hours.
Also, computers should receive gigabit Wi-Fi 802.11ac and
the next generation Thunderbolt peripheral interface with support for 4K-panel
displays. The operating system is selected, obviously, the upcoming OS X 10.9.
iWork '13 and iLife '13
Each year, one of the predictions for WWDC for iWork for
iOS. Apple regularly features a novelty or an update to its office suite. And
if about iPhone and iPad company does not forget, the owners of iWork for Mac
does not see any significant updates for several years. Not that the update was
not at all - go out only minor updates. There was no major releases since 2009.
It is expected that the new iWork for the desktop platform will appear in 2013.
Similarly, the situation is the same with iLife - a set of
programs for editing video, music and photos. These include applications
GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto, respectively. Latest version was released in
2011.
So, at WWDC 2013 are expected to:
- iOS 7
- OS X
10.9
- A new
iCloud
- IRadio
service (or the development of iTunes Match)
- New
MacBook Air and MacBook Pro
- iWork
'13 and iLife '13
It is unlikely that the conference will feature some mobile
news. Given the recent announcement by Tim Cook, can hardly be expected at the
event, release iPhone 5S, iPad 5 or iPad mini 2.
