Sadly, Apple's secretive TV project doesn't seem to be doing so hot either. We can't imagine Apple not pulling out whatever big guns are needed to sew this whole thing up, though. Bloombergclaims that while Apple indeed aims to launch its streaming-music service on Monday, it still hasn't completely locked down all the necessary deals with record labels. The thing is, recent reports suggest a debut at WWDC might be less guaranteed than we'd initially thought. APPLE 2015 WWDC TRIALYou can expect to pay about $10 a month for the privilege, just like you would for Spotify, but you might be able to score a free trial of up to three months. Think of the experience as a mash-up between Beats Music (which Apple shelled out $3 billion for) and the existing Music app on your iDevice - tunes from both sources are said to live in seamless harmony, so you'll be able to search for and play whatever you need when the mood strikes. If the incessant whirring of the rumor mill is any hint, Apple will finally pull back the curtain on its Apple Music service onstage during the show. (A note to Cupertino: Please prove us wrong!) The beat goes on Sure, it's possible we'll see updates to the Mac Pro, but we're not convinced just yet. APPLE 2015 WWDC PROApple just refreshed its 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro and cut prices on its 27-inch 5K iMac in late May factor in the launch of the MacBook and changes we've already seen to the existing Pro and Air lines, and there's just not much left to touch. Oh, and we wouldn't bank on seeing much in the way of new Mac hardware either. ![]() ![]() Throw in a security system called "Rootless" that will keep even administrators from futzing around with highly sensitive system files, and you've got a version of OS X that puts a big emphasis on security and stability. APPLE 2015 WWDC UPDATEThat's not to say the update will be completely bereft of new doodads, though: You'll apparently be able to bring up an iOS-like Control Center with quick access to settings by swiping left on your Mac's trackpad. APPLE 2015 WWDC SOFTWAREAs with iOS 9, Apple has focused on refining its desktop software instead of making flashy leaps forward. So we're definitely going to get a peek at the new version of OS X - that's 10.11 for those keeping count - but the rumored changelog isn't a super-long one. With new iPhones and iPads expected to arrive this September, there's a pretty strong argument for ditching your old Apple hardware anyway, but it's nice to see that hangers-on won't get the shaft. To top it all off, Apple's apparently been working to iron out bugs and inconsistencies and to make sure that iOS 9 will work fine on older devices like the iPhone 4s. It'll act as a control center for various Internet of Things devices, which you'll also be able to fiddle with while you're at the office or running around the park. With the first HomeKit-friendly gadgets now on store shelves, it shouldn't shock you to hear that Apple might show off a "Home" app as part of iOS 9. Speaking of travel, iOS 9 should also finally sport transit directions so you won't have to bother figuring out the differences between the L, N, Q and 6 trains. Got a dinner reservation on the books? Proactive might remind you when to leave and bring up driving directions in the nick of time. From its perch over there, Proactive will draw on information from "apps, contacts and maps" and try to surface the right data at the right time. ![]() APPLE 2015 WWDC ANDROID9to5Mac reports that it'll basically replace the Spotlight search menu and live in a separate home screen panel to the left of all your apps (you know, the same place where Google Now lives on stock Android devices). Speaking of the Watch, iOS 9 will also reportedly come with deep-seated hooks for Force Touch, so the next-generation of Apple's phones and tablets will probably crib some interaction tricks from Apple's wearable.īeyond that, it looks like one new feature - currently known as "Proactive" - could steal the show. Typeface nerds might appreciate (or loathe) the Apple Watch's San Francisco font, which will reportedly become the standard for iOS, and that's probably about as big as the visual changes get. Just don't expect any dramatic design leaps like we got with iOS 7. Not now Turn on Turned on Turn onĪpple's next big iOS release won't start hitting phones and tablets until later this year, but we're expecting to get our first proper glimpse of it this Monday. ![]() You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu. ![]()
