What to Expect at WWDC 2016

[MacRumors]

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off on Monday, June 13 with a keynote event at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, where Apple is expected to show off the latest versions of its iOS, OS X, tvOS, and watchOS operating systems and perhaps debut new features for services like Apple Pay and iCloud.

Ahead of the conference, we've compiled all of the rumors that we've heard about features that could potentially debut at the event to give MacRumors readers an idea of what to expect.

iOS 10

Apple's operating system for iPhones and iPads has gone largely without design changes since iOS 7, so it's reasonable to assume iOS 10 may feature some design tweaks to update the look of the OS. A dark mode is one possibility that's been circulating based on the look of Apple's WWDC app and site, but there's no evidence suggesting such a feature will be implemented.

In 2015, rumors indicated Apple was working on an "iCloud Voicemail" service able to allow Siri to answer missed calls and record and transcribe messages for users to read as text at a later time. The service, which could come in iOS 10, is also said to be capable of relaying location information and delivering details on why a user can't answer a phone call.

Isn't that basically visual voicemail, where it gives you a text transcription of what the caller left? I've been getting those for years.

I can just imagine the problems with Siri answering your missed calls telling them where you are.

Boss: I'm calling to see how you're feeling, we missed you at work today
Siri: John is unavailable, he is currently at the beach
Boss: You're fired.

Something will happen on Monday:

 

[seatton]

I do hope I will get to see a MacMini update before I pass away. One day, it will come.

 

[Dilster3k]

Please don't be disappointing. Please don't be disappointing. Please don't be disappointing.

 

[BeefCake 15]

Great summary write up, thank you MacRumors!

A Small Mac Pro with a GTX1080 would be an instant buy...

Just because a feature/product already exists doesn't mean Apple can't improve and revamp the said product/feature.

Look at what Apple did with the iPod, iPhone and iPad. All 3 of those product categories already existed when Apple brought theirs to the market.

If Apple wants to bring a Google Voice type voicemail transcription service I'm willing to bet it will have more thought put into it than the existing service.

 

[DonRivella]

I expect boredom and hope for excitement.

 

[lancastor]

No decorating of Moscone Centre this year?

 

[Porco]

I wish I was more excited, but there's just so little amongst the expected announcements I can see myself being even remotely enthusiastic about. Hopefully there can be some nice surprises.

Deleted.

Please don't be disappointing. Please don't be disappointing. Please don't be disappointing.

Lower your expectations and you'll be fine

I wish I had 10 thumbs up! LOL!

 

[MH01]

I do hope I will get to see a MacMini update before I pass away. One day, it will come.

It will come, question is, will it be faster than the 2012 mini

 

[SMIDG3T]

No decotating of Moscone Centre this year?

No colourful banners I don't think (they'd be up by now) but they have added a massive Apple logo to one of the buildings.

 

[nStyle]

Can't wait to hear about minor improvements across the board...woooooooo

 

[TMRJIJ]

I'll probably cry if they actually do show hardware.

How about new iMacs?

 

[Cronowerx]

Great summary write up, thank you MacRumors!

I EXPECT NOTHING AND I BET I'LL STILL BE DISAPPOINTED WITH WWDC 2016!

 

[2457282]

Since this WWDC, I am not holding my breath for any hardware updates, but any is always welcomed.

I am hoping that they continue to improve the integration between their OSs. This is one of the things that Apple has been doing better than MS or Google in my opinion. I also hope that they announce significant improvements to their services. iCloud is okay but needs to be better. Siri, we are expecting improvement, but I need something that will actually make me want to use her (i don't today). iWorks (we need pivot tables for one), Photos (whatever happened to Aperture capabilities). APIs for developers to more easily integrate into Apple tools (like those I just mentioned).

Tim Cook's Apple in a nutshell.

 

[Alshujibi]

Just don't know what to expect any more!

Good but I was thanking them for the article summarizing all the rumors/news in one place.

I also love minor improvements. They make the experience better without requiring me to learn a whole new system and unlearn the old one.
