What to Expect at WWDC 2016

Good God, from what's been rumored so far, this will be the most boring WWDC ever. If Apple has anything up their sleeves, it'll be amazing, literally ANYTHING that's not been rumored.

I'd even take a Steve Jobs action figure as a "one more thing."

I know you're being sarcastic but Apple include 200 features, whether they are big or small. You know, when at the end they show the flash up some of the minor features.

Count me in on that. I do hope for a revamp in the look of iOS though. It doesn't have to be earth shattering, as I am okay with the look of it now. But I'd like to see Apple make UI improvements I never thought of asking for but find I won't want to be without once they are there.

Even though I've opted for an SE over my 6SPlus for daily use in the summer, I'm still interested in seeing them develop 3D Touch functionality further. I ended up not using it very often when I had it, and that's a shame. I'd like for it to become a more compelling feature as time goes on.

I know a lot of people aren't happy with Siri. I happen to like and use Siri often, but I acknowledge Siri has some annoying shortcomings. So any positive Siri news is more than welcome.

New Macbook Pro's or bust. Are they really going to sell the 2015 model more than half way through 2016?

Agree. I was hoping to buy my daughter a laptop before she heads off for college this fall. You'd think Apple would update the line before 'back to school', but I'm not holding my breath. Not crazy about compromising with the current MacBook lines (Air-bad screen, MB - bad keyboard/overpriced, MPB - older specs), but may end up going that route. I have zero faith in Apple to 'wow' us these days.

Would love to see iMessage go to Android though. Always thought it was designed to be a 'universal' application.

lol.... Being an eternal optimist, I'm patiently hoping for some great future products. We all realize it takes a lot of hard work and time to bring great and useful products to market, but the longer the wait in between releases, the easier it is to become disappointed and cynical. I guess I need more patience.

Waiting to be wowed once again.....

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

I've noticed a lot of places have been discounting the current mac mini. This may mean an update is coming - At least i'm hoping. I really want to pick up a mac mini to hook up to my media center.

A mac mini that can boot into tvOS and macOS would be perfect.

Yes! A Steve Jobs action figure with Bluetooth 5, as a voice-option for Siri! Take Steve around the house/wherever with you and query him till 'ell freezes over.

"Hey Steve, are there any LGBT parades I need to circumvent by miles today?"
"Hey Steve, I'm doing the laundry. Need your turtleneck washed?"
"Hey Steve, is there an afterlife without whiners?"

iMessage for Samsung Edge? Get in! :) That's the only downside of Android against IOS. Most excellent if it happens. Tho' gawd knows why Apple would promote it?

I don't think the problem with iMessage is what owners of iDevices think it is. It's an application that is limited to a certain percentage of phone owners. So if you have friends or family members who don't have an iPhone, you either need to have two apps to send them messages, or get used to the fact you have to call them instead of texting or sending attachments.

It's in Apple's interest to "open" iMessage and take over from Whatsapp. (Hangouts is to Whatsapp what TIDAL is to Spotify, no need to worry about that one.)

I'd love new watch bands! /s

Seriously, though, I want to see new Macs really bad, though I don't know if they'll be introduced at WWDC. I am not expecting much for OS X. I'd love to see some new innovations for iOS (given that it's the 10th version), especially for the iPad.

Yep, all we need to do is look at the failure Windows 8 was with the drastic redesign...yikes.

I am sure it will rehash stuff that has been in Linux since 1998 where it has an Apple polish to it where Timmy or Phil will spin it as something new and novel that you can't get from anyone but Apple. :eek:

They will say "new in Mac OS" and you will hear, "we invented it and no one else has anything like it".

No decorating of Moscone Centre this year?
Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure that they will, but maybe on Monday, since none of the events will be happening at the Moscone Center on that day.

Speaking of, I wonder why they're using two conference centres. Is the Bill Graham one larger than Moscone? Was it cheaper to do it this way?
