Apple Updates WWDC App for 2014 with iOS 7 Design and New Orange Theme

If you look at the schedule in the app, all of the unannounced sessions have creative titles like:
  • No Comment
  • This One Is Sealed
  • Shhhh, Can't Tell You Yet
  • It's Under Wraps
  • Still Our Secret
  • You'll Find Out In A Few Days
  • It's Still Confidential
  • It's Confidential
  • We're Not Telling
  • You'll Never Guess This One
  • We Still Really Can't Say
  • You're Just Going to Have to Wait a Little Longer
  • It's Still Our Little Secret
  • We'd Really Love To Tell You
  • It's Still Under Wraps
  • It's a Secret
  • This One's a Doozy
  • We're Not Telling Yet

And A LOT more.

I think last year they just said "Session to be Announced". Nice to see Apple with a sense of humor. Also nice to see that they have secrets to announce.

I noticed that too. Gave me a good laugh. :D

I just noticed that and I'm hugely excited now. Not for the announcements, but for the nitty gritty details these sessions always provide. There would be far less terribly misguided "reporting" from the tech media if they did their homework instead of just assuming things when Apple's own sessions provide answers.

Case in point: iBeacons, how many weeks of users and reporters complaining that they don't want popups annoying them wherever they go? One quick watching of the Core Bluetooth WWDC video and they'd know that beacons only prompt your phone if you've already opted in and installed the program that corresponds to it.
 
I wonder what we are going to see at WWDC, new hardware perhaps? If the iWatch is going to be released this year, will we get a sneak peak.
 
Please more orange. I want an orange iPhone 6 with orange earbuds. Enough of this puritanical white thing.

Does the number of secret sessions ever say anything about what we might expect to be announced? i.e. If there are a lot more secret sessions than usual, we may see an iWatch intro?

I keep having this suspicion that OSX will use the redesign to move to OS11. Maybe there is too much value in the OSX name but at what point does it become more than 10.xx?

When there's a major update. And by major, we're talking OS 9 to OS X kind of upgrade.

Last time, that included a new UI, new Kernel, new technologies, etc.

Right now, there doesn't seem to be a need for it. Especially as OS X has become more than just a fancy way to write 'OS 10'... It's a product name, too.

Steve Jobs said it had set Apple up for the next 20 years, meaning it's due to be replaced c. 2020.
 
9to5Mac's Mark Gurman tweeted that "sources say new hardware will likely be unveiled" at WWDC. My guess is new Mac Mini, perhaps Retina MBA or iMac?

I'd like to see more creative humor from them. I don't use Android much to know if they bake little funnies into error messages, etc., but I find Chrome's funnies fun. Like Chromebook's "Australian scrolling" for their natural scrolling direction option.
 
Has Apple had so many sessions labeled as TBA before? Seems like most of the sessions this year are still TBA. I guess developers do all their schedule planning after the keynote?

Most of the TBA are because OS X will get a complete design overhaul. So there will be a lot of those kinds of sessions on how to design for OS X new interface language.
 
I am hoping Mr Cook announces the depature of Jony "I am Blind and useless" Ive...What was the last great iconic device Mr Ive dreamed up..and no the ipad is not it...Speakers on one side of a device renders it a stupid design.

I would be happier if Mr Cook announced iOS 8 was designed by Stevie Wonder. Who has better design ability than Mr Ive.
