Haha you have to love MacRumors, you’ve had actual rumours of a new SE being possibly announced at WWDC, but not of the new iPad Pros, yet this story only mentions the iPad Pro’s...
They need to say something even if it's shipping late 2018 or at least some kind of a preview.
Better notifications, always on with complications, and dark mode is all I really need from iOS at this point.
So in 2 weeks they will announce iOS12 while Im here waiting for the features promised in iOS 11 to reach the public XD
I know that Gruber ran a piece saying 'no Marzipan for you this year' i.e. the initiative that is meant to allow iOS app makers to more easily share the same codebase and UI on the Mac.
However, I suspect that they will launch the first part of it next month - the 'declarative UI' approach, for iOS, tvOS and watchOS.
If the rumours are true and we're getting 'SE with a notch', 'iPhone with a notch' and 'iPhone X Plus', supporting all of these different screen sizes AND the iPhone 5S up to the 8 Plus, is going to be a real headache for devs (not that I am one).
Having a way to declare where your UI elements go rather than trying to pixel match them all to the myriad of screen sizes, is going to be a real help, I should think.
Also, it allows Apple to launch a round Watch in the fall without giving it away i.e. if you just declare where your controls are, presumably a round watch will then render them as curved elements.
And of course, it helps them hide the new iPhone 'notch' products (although we all know about them now, of course) whilst allowing apps to be ready for these products on day 1 of their launch (unlike the X).

My guess is the preview will happen a year from now at WWDC 2019. Or possibly in spring 2019 at the earliest. Would explain why Apple chose to leak the info earlier this year rather than keep everything secret prior to the WWDC keynote.
4K iTunes and Netflix Mac streaming, here we come!
...along with hex-core iMacs, hex-core 15" MacBook Pros, quad-core 13" MacBook Pros, and maybe even a dual-core Intel or multi-core Apple A11/A12 13" MacBook.

Because they have 5,000 developers coming, and don't need that many people wandering around their corporate offices. San Jose is much better equipped with hotels, restaurants, infrastructure, an airport on site.
I think with smart invert, I don’t think Apple ever venture onto dark mode. I agree it would be nice, but I have accepted that Apple has their own way of doing things, which I guess in a sense you can’t miss something you never had.
I find ios becoming more and more stale and android getting further ahead each year. Every time apple adds new features to ios they need another year to fix bugs and glitches for the software to become stable. Apple really needs to deliver in this conference for me to stay if its just about optimisation im out.
Also cpu slow down controversy with batteries also pushed me away a bit from apple. This is coming from a loooong time apple fan who always preffered ios over android.
Can't wait to hear about the new emojis and animojis!! Hoping that they introduce new watch bands too!
I like where youre going with this!
I think the pie-chart like graphic might be that iOS itself takes up even less storage than before? Or something to do with storage size is my guess.
And I suspect the cube with the arrows hints at more detail to AR; probably also the sphere over the square.
The loading graphic in the bottom right probably hints at speed improvements
I agree with your statement..I’ve blindly followed and purchased Apple products over the last 10 years...but with all the missed opportunity I’ve seen from Apple lately this will be a deciding year for me and my household to whether we decided to continue to use Apple products..I think use the same 15 emojis I think I’m cool on needing more
Agree 100% this event is also the deciding factor if i switch over to android.
Also another reason for me preffering ios over android has been stability. Not seeing much of that anymore sadly
At least someone's expectations are high. I guess I'm just so used to Apple neglecting the Mac that this big of a refresh doesn't even seem plausible to me.
If we do get two more cores across the iMac and MacBook Pro lines, it will be exciting times indeed; though more thanks to Intel than Apple.
