WWDC 2014 OS X 10:10 the center of attention at the expense of iOS 8?

As reported by 9to5Mac citing sources familiar with the facts very close to Apple, the next WWDC 2014 in San Francisco scheduled June 2 to 6, 2014, could focus more attention on upgrading to OS X Deployment 10.10 rather than iOS 8. This does not mean that the update of the operating system the mobile is not in the plans of Apple, but the biggest news will be visible to the desktop platform.

Always remember that rumor even if it is from an authoritative source, it is rumored that OS X 10:10 will feature a major redesign in terms of graphics, not dissimilar to the one that occurred with the mobile operating system to iOS in step 7. Apple seems firmly intends to promote in the first place to the next developer release, so time to hit the target has allocated human resources in the OS X team, taking them from those working on iOS, a move implemented to be able to finish the work in time for WWDC , 2014.

10:10 It is said that OS X will enjoy a design much more similar to that of iOS 7, with sharper corners of the windows, icons, more defined look more minimal and flat, but without changes confusing about the key features that users are loyal and accustomed. Finder management of multitasking and all the other classic features will be present, with a convergence version iOS 7 which seems to be purely cosmetic. Apple aims to release of OS X 10:10 later this year and is planning a series of upgrades hardware aimed at the promotion of the new software.

It is often spoken of a code name used internally to define the operating system, known as "Syrah", but the final commercial nomenclature should theoretically call a place in California, according to new started by Apple with the Mavericks. Between the main suspects, OS X Yosemite, in homage to the famous national park, a name which appears the most likely candidates. As we reported days ago, thanks to the use of shell companies Apple may have acquired, and other protected names relating to places of interest in California, such as Mammoth and Diablo.

As for iOS 8, many features in the works could not take immediate life, there are many ongoing projects reported in recent months and may be particularly functional.

The list includes the new app Healthbook , who will be born to aggregate statistics fitness and health data from third-party applications, external devices such as iWatch, or data collected by the iPhone. As for maps, Apple may introduce new features related to local transport with support for directions, is also rumored the creation of a stand-alone app for iTunes Radio, as well as the introduction of TextEdit and Preview on iOS too.

While until now it was thought that all could see a new introduction in iOS 8, now it is assumed that some of them may come with the next update to iOS 8.1, which Apple would already be at work.

As was the case last year, as the feature 'iOS Car "was mentioned in the preview during the presentation of iOS 7 and introduced in iOS 7.1 with the nomenclature" Carplay ", it is likely that many features of iOS 8 can get to the rear with the 'update to iOS 8.1.

Among these would fit the new partnership with Shazam for identifying multimedia content in Siri, and upgrading a wide cross-platform iCloud, with an eye version simplicity and efficiency of cloud-based applications developed in the future.

Also according to the rumors, iOS, 8 might be able to take advantage of the new generation of processors A8, emphasizing the duty to move to 64-bit architectures for the purpose of improving the overall efficiency and overall performance, critical factors into account increase of the now established dimensional displays and resolution in the next iPhone.

In this regard, internal voices from Apple employees, talk about a feature dubbed "Multi-resolution”, designed to improve the performance of iOS applications and integrated operating system, running on more than one type of display. An element that suggests the next iPhone models with different resolutions.

We also know that between the expectations towards new devices, set-top box Apple TV is indicated as the next update, but it is rumored that the new version of the software is working alongside iOS 8.1, and therefore the new hardware might screw arrive the market towards year-end and not before.

So there is no exact month, but as you can see there are many advances on the contents of the next conference WWDC 2014. As always, we will update you with further news.
