You asked about deciphering it and then made a post about it telling you that you aren't eligible to attend, and I used that to joke that it's mystery seems to have been deciphered and the hidden meaning is simply that you can't attend. Takes all the steam out of it though with the back and forth and the explanation.
Wishful thinking. Good luck with that.

I was thinking Tim might unveil Watch 2, similar to what he did in September 2014 Keynote, however, it may be available for purchase come September 2016, along side the iPhone 7 release. Good publicity and build the hype now. Unsure if we will see a Summer 2016 release on the Watch.

Time flies though. Especially when the rumors really heat up. Then it will be here before you know it.
The current UI of iOS still looks unfinished, unpolished and unfocused. I think the blinding white and cartoonish design is really starting to look stale. It should look more elegant and professional, worthy of running on an Apple device. Realistically, I'd like to see iOS take on more design cues of the current OS X design language: more detailed icons, actual buttons, drop shadows and less white.
There is alot of cleaning up needed with the UI as it doesn't even hold up to Apple's own GUI standards, I think they really need to lessen Jony's influence on software design.
You gave 6 examples in a 10 year span...... so they do a lot of that do they?
As far as iOS I'd like to finally see us be able to put our icons anywhere we want.... wishful thinking I know.
Dang, that would be heartbreaking for them to say it's 3 months out. It would also destroy their current Apple Watch sales.
I wonder if there will be any supply constraints on the watch in the lead up to June...
About MacOS running on ARM chips?
I guess it is too early for that. They could put a custom SoC on the 12'' Macbook for a start but give them some time

There are definitely suggestions pointing towards cars:
"Hello driver, fast as you can"
"Hello other side of the road"
The rest seems somewhat generic (except "6 seconds of fame" and "self-combusting selfies"). So I can see Watch, Siri and iTesla. iDevices get "love at first swipe". Nothing that would make me think about Macs.

Siri is great on devices where input is tricky (like a TV) but doesn't really have much point on Mac. For most queries it would be just as fast to do the task by hand than to ask Siri and wait for a response. Rather than focusing on adding gimmicks like Siri, I would prefer that they work on improving efficiency, battery life, stability and generally fixing the numerous bugs that still exist in El Capitan.
When my display randomly switches off numerous times per day, it seriously hinders my use. Windows 8 (with beta graphics drivers) is currently more stable than El Capitan on my 2013 Mac Pro, which is just pathetic. I had to disable sleep on the Mac side, because if my computer goes to sleep the display will not turn on unless it's rebooted. But sure, lets release another broken version of OS X with a new bunch of useless bloatware. Maybe throw a Siri icon into my menu bar that I can't remove and will never use (plus drains an extra hour of battery life per day).
I think it is too soon to announce something about a car, but they may be something new about CarPlay
WWDC is mainly about software and not hardware, the only thing I can see them announcing are Mac's, however it does seem a bit odd that they are holding the keynote at the big Civic building where they announced the iPhone 6s, iPad Pro and Apple TV 4 in September. It's probably just because of the amount it can seat and maybe they want to accommodate more people.
There is a 0.0000001% chance we'll hear about the Apple Car. It's years away yet. 2020 at least I think.
I expect Apple Watch 2, refreshed macbook, macbook pro, and mac pro and hopefully new airport base stations.
Do you want me to remind you what Apple released on previous WWDCs?
Anyway scratch that macbook refresh they released it yesterday.
Yes, an occasional hardware update, not really a whole collection of new hardware and lineup updates.
I know! Airport base stations are not usually major updates anyway! so the only "new" thing would be the Apple Watch 2...
