WWDC for June is set!



Woohoo! WWDC is coming soon! And as you would expect, a keynote has been set and confirmed for 11 June 2012, set at 10am Pacific Time (GMT -08:00). That is 1am Singapore time on 12 June 2012 if you intend to catch it like I do. There is even an app that you can download to obtain the schedule of WWDC2012 if you are interested in what goes on.

WWDC 2012 (USA)

So what does this mean? Or rather, what is in store for us on that day? Here are some possibilities.

1. A new iPhone???

9to5Mac reports on a new iPhone case part which was discovered to be sold by China parts supplier. Personally, i doubt this will happen so soon, but there is of course still that slight chance.

2. iOS 6!
Boy Genius Report has released exclusive images of a new maps app for iOS 6, which utilizes 3D mapping, which will likely replace the current Google Maps. Again, I think this is something abit too early and only due to be released together with the new iPhone.

3. MacBook Pro cum Air and iMac updates

Definitely what seems to be the most likely thing to be announced come June 11. There are a few different versions of what is expected on that day. Some say that we will get 15 inch ivy bridge MacBook pros, which will be at a half way point in size between the pro and air while providing retina display, which seems very possible. Chances are they will also remove the optical disks so as to save space, just to allow their pros reach the air sizes.

4. iScreen / iTV / iHub or whatever Apple choses to name it
And last but not least, something which has been discussed and suggested that may appear anytime. The proposed iTV. Or iScreen. Or iHub. Whatever they choose to name it. This one is another wild card, with no real info on when is it exactly coming. And of course with that means June being a viable possibility. With not much info on what to expect from this one, it is anyone's guess when it appears. Maybe a Steve Job's style "One More Thing" to finally come from Tim Cook?

And thats about all the things which you can look out for in a nutshell, hope that the info was useful!
