Tickets for WWDC 2012 Now On Sale: June 11-15

Great, as if we needed more focus on iOS.

How about Apple puts in just a LITTLE attention to Macs and Mac OS. Mountain Lion and Lion are complete failures; loaded with bugs and the lack of proper expose has pissed off many.

well, I don't see why they won't announce a new product. Chances are, that they'll release mountain lion with a new product to accompany it, just like OS X lion. And they might go for broke and update the macbook airs, pros, mac pros, iMacs at the same time. I doubt all, but I'm guessing we'll get something.

Please inform me what 'new product' you are talking about that was released with OS Lion??? :rolleyes:

does this mean we need to wait another month and a half before we see an iMac refresh or to see if Apple care to refresh their Mac Pro's anymore?

If so this is ridiculous. Would they announce new computers before holding this conference?

I know man, I'm in the same boat. I've been waiting for a refresh since the quad-cores showed up.

BUT, I'm willing to bet the new iMacs (which I'm assuming will be included in WWDC) will blow everyone away! They have basically kept the same form and function for years, with internal tweaks here and there with Sandy Bridge and quad-core, so I'm betting on a complete revamp of the body, screen, keyboard, and ports, plus new internal upgrades with, of course, Ivy Bridge and appropriate graphic hardware, all with a slimmer package - which has always been on the table as far as rumors go.

For all this, I'll wait six weeks.

iOS 6, ML, MacBook(maybemaybemaybe), iMac... its is going to be among Apple's most epic media events, in my opinion, but thats just because I've been starved for an iMac haha.

So... SO stoked!

Keep waiting bud, you won't be disappointed!

Nope.

Apple haven't used a media event to launch new Macs for a long time (MacBook Air redesign in 2010 was the last one I think). They're just updated silently now.

I don't think Apple would even do it for a re-designed MacBook lineup, we'd just see new stuff on the website.

WWDC is all about the software. iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion and very little if anything else will be the focus of this event. We'll also see a lot of iCloud considering how much better it's integrated into Mountain Lion.

EDIT: KnightWRX just snapped me.

Eh, I dunno...

I'm willing to bet Apple is heavily publicizing iOS and ML to take attention away from and hardware redesigns - which would provide a surprisingly GREAT event for everyone in terms of exceeding expectation.

Plus when you look at the history of the Mac updates, those updates were not very major, especially when compared to the iPad and iPhone releases/updates. At that time, nobody would have been too bothered by any Mac related updates... at that time. iPhone and iPad were too popular and fresh. The internal upgrades have always been sort of background announcements, having only showed up on their website, as they should.

I see it very likely that an iMac, maybe a Macbook, will be announced considering the OSX line has not had very major relative breakthroughs recently. But at this point there is a lot of improvement that is suspected to hit the OSX line. I dunno, nobody knows, but I see it as a perfect opportunity to blow everyone away with a complete OSX hardware overhaul.

It won't be the same without old 'Jobs. HOWEVER that doesn't mean it can't be better without him. All I'm saying is this year we need to give Tim Cooks and everyone else a fresh start.

Where have you been lately, sleep? To the contrary it's Apple that's playing the role of copycat these days. Remember when they actually used to innovate? Now it's Android that's coming up with all the fresh ideas, particularly on the software side. Won't be long before they abandon their plastic dependency and start innovating on the hardware side, too. Five years later iOS is still lacking even the most basic features ---- want to add an attachment WITHIN an email, anyone? Or care to delete a photo on your phone that wasn't taken with the camera? --- to say nothing of its lack of flourish and pizazz!!

The Great Android Migration is seriously under consideration by many of us who have been with Apple since Day One. Quite a few have already made the switch. Yet you rarely hear of anybody abandoning Android's OS to switch to Apple. That's in huge part because of this freakish inceremental update schedule that they have adopted, which MUST change; otherwise the heat from the competitors' rate of releases will cause Apple to fall way behind...UNLESS they reacquaint themselves with their roots and blow everybody out the water by truly INNOVATING with this next iPhone and iOS 6 release. If recent history is any indication I'm bracing myself for disappointment, however.

iWork update

sorry if this has been mentioned already, but does it seem likely we will see an iWork update this summer?
 
I think WWDC 2012 will be focused on applications considering all those colored squares are the same shape as an app icon
