[The Real Abed]

Finally!

Edit: I have the @MacRumorsLive Twitter account set to notifications for these events. It helps if I am working that day.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Please fix the Macbook Air Wi-fi bug

 

[celebi23]

Finally!

Yeah, sorry for the delay. Been busy with real-life stuff lately :/ Still don't know if I have the 2nd off yet >_<

 

[giga]

Any chance of a new iphone or iPod? WWDC has always been about new hardware.

 

[Blackhead]

Any chance of a new iphone or iPod?

The new iWatch is an iPod nano

 

[infiniteloop]

Anki drive 2 or bust




Haven't they live streamed it recently? They did last year.

 

[Gamerloid]

Can't wait! Looking forward to seeing what they have in store this WWDC. I really want to see a new product category.

Any chance of a new iphone or iPod?

September should be when you expect to find out about the new iPhone and a possible iPod refresh.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Any chance of a new iphone or iPod? WWDC has always been about new hardware.

As long as it has a removable battery and storage slot.

 

[antipode]

Psyched! Any GAFFers going to be there? Meet up for drinks?

 

[infiniteloop]

Lol

 

[Deku Tree]

iWatch would get its own event.

 

[giga]

Finally. I've been waiting to retire my Itouch.

Oh right. I'll put up the url in the OP when it goes live. Thanks for reminding me

 

[The Real Abed]

Not a chance. At all. Well, not iPod. iPhone probably no way, but who knows how they'll want to handle it if they'll be unveiling the rumored UI scaling features of iOS. Though I guess that's what the simulator is for. They could easily mention that there will be bigger screen sizes coming, and have the simulator allow testing them. But no hardware. I don't see it at all.

 

[RevoDS]

Not getting my hopes up for significant new hardware. iOS 8, OS X 10.10 and updated Macs are all I'm expecting out of this.

Samsung will weep for showing their whole hand to try steal the show from what will likely be a boring event by Apple standards.

It's really all I want, too, since I'll likely be shopping for a new Mac this summer.

 

[infiniteloop]

Why is iWatch in the title? Jesus wept.

 

[Phobophile]

So prolly nothing on new Macs until the new Broadwell chips go gold, right?

 

[Gamerloid]

Lol

What's funny?

Psyched! Any GAFFers going to be there? Meet up for drinks?

I wish. Someday though. Someday...

Why is iWatch in the title? Jesus wept.

That's what the question mark is for! Speculation is fun.

 

[The Real Abed]

As long as it has a removable battery and storage slot.

This is the funniest joke I've seen all day.

 

[celebi23]

Why is iWatch in the title? Jesus wept.

It was a joke I honestly doubt we'll get any new major hardware. Maybe minor bumps in specs.

 

[infiniteloop]

Doesn't come across as a joke. People gone be pissed when it doesn't show lol

 

[shira]

In the title, you forgot about Dre

 

[Majine]

Can't wait for the Hair Force One show.

 

[Blackhead]

I could see an Apple TV update - if it includes a new input method - getting announced early if it means an ATV App Store and Apple TV iOS development getting opened up to developers at large like the iPhone/iPad. Devs will need a several-month head start to have their apps ready for release, after all.

And seriously, the Apple TV needs that Kinect-esque gesture/voice control stuff soon. I'm ready to get rid of my remote.

Ahh good point. The thing is Apple wants to 'properly' enter the TV business with content deals in place. That hasn't been forthcoming so far (Apple Bought Beats For Its Future Apple TV, Says Steve Jobs' Biographer| Minyanville). Apple could also 'properly' launch AppleTV as a games and appstore thing but then what's the killer app?

p.s. the kinect thing: Apple reportedly buying Israel's PrimeSense for $345 million | The Times of Israel (Nov '13)

New hardware? Gimme that super light 12" retina display MacBook air. I hope that thing exists.

I'm sure it does, but it might end up waiting for Broadwell, no?

Very likely needs Broadwell as the rumor was the a new design with a fanless chassis :0
Apple's first official laptop lol

 

[Deku Tree]

In the title, you forgot about Dre

This. Love the rumors that Dr.Dre and Jimmy Iovine will show up on stage. But it also seems a funny that the Beats deal hasn't gone public yet. Must be some hiccups.

 

[The Real Abed]

I might be the only one but I am so sick of hearing about the iWatch.

I haven't wanted to wear a watch on my wrist since I got a cell phone in 2006. Not even a smart watch would make me want to wear one.

But that's apparently just me.

 

[kidko]

Trusty launch day 4S is getting a little tired… battery weakening… weird full screen black outs periodically… would love to see an iPhone 6, but that's wishful thinking

 

[cjp]

Definitely no live stream?

 

[infiniteloop]

Definitely no live stream?

I would think there will be one. There was last year.

They usually announce it day of in the morning

 

[enanogrande]

Definitely no live stream?

I don't ever remember them pre-announcing one - it's either there or it's not. Hopefully there will be, they've streamed the last couple events, but I doubt we'd know for sure this far out...

 

[The Real Abed]

I hope there is. If there is, I'll request that day off. But they never say whether or not one will happen until shortly before the event.

Eh, I'll just request it off anyway.

 

[Vashetti]

Hope 10.10 continues the Mavericks free trend.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Lol

What I think might be the funniest point is I'm pretty sure The Real Abed fell for the same joke last year, as well.

 

[The Real Abed]

Hope 10.10 continues the Mavericks free trend.

It will. Apple's OS' are free now. Forever. The OS is seen as part of the hardware and Apple wants as many people to have the latest version as fast as possible so they removed the major limitation that kept that from happening.. cost.

Can't wait to see if they put 10.10 on the AppleSeed program. I am looking forward to trying it out like I always do months before release. (Though I rarely jump right in. I wait a few developer previews since there are allllllways big problems.)

What I think might be the funniest point is I'm pretty sure The Real Abed fell for the same joke last year, as well.

What joke?

 

[Zeyphersan]

My next round of tech-buying is all Apple stuff, so I'm really excited. Ditching my windows laptop for a Macbook for the first time.

Impress me, Apple!

 

[solarus]

I don't think the iwatch will be there, that will get it's own dedicated event. They have enough to cover with ios 8 and os x 10.10 already.

 

[Iacobellis]

Definitely no live stream?

Didn't they say that last year and then backtrack close to the event?

 

[samn]

Please not an iWatch.

It's just such a boring device category.

 

[celebi23]

Didn't they say that last year and then backtrack close to the event?

Yeah, Apple will be streaming via their website & on the AppleTV. I'll add the link in the OP once it goes live.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

 

[Leona Lewis]

I guess this is where we'll discuss the flurry of baseless rumors that will emerge this next week?

Yep. Welcome

 

[Chris R]

I'd love to see new mac hardware of any kind

 

[RevoDS]

Please not an iWatch.

It's just such a boring device category.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the functionality that's more or less a remote control for your phone, but I do like what the rumors are saying about it featuring a fuckton of sensors and the possibility of using it for payments on the go without having to take out either a card, money or your phone.



I personally don't want a computer on my wrist; I don't care about answering calls or texts, I don't want to control my music with it (bluetooth headphones already feature that functionality). My ideal smartwatch wouldn't even feature a screen but discrete functionality would help improve my daily life (and either be more of a band than a watch or have an actual watch, but that would make for a clunky device with current tech).

That kind of device I would buy day one.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

I'd like a watch that's connected to my phone, and when I get outside of a range from the phone, it puts it on silent so it's not just vibrating at others or no one.

I'd like it to unlock and lock my computer by proximity too.

 

[The Real Abed]

All I want is a new mini, or an update to the mini at least. I want to know if they're going to keep them the same with new processors or actually redesign them with Air-esque design cues. If not, then I'll just buy an SSD and the Torq wrenches I need and upgrade my 2010 model myself.

I'd like a watch that's connected to my phone, and when I get outside of a range from the phone, it puts it on silent so it's not just vibrating at others or no one.

I'd like it to unlock and lock my computer by proximity too.

That would be enough to get me to consider one. But I probably still wouldn't. The proxy thing however would be nice in the iPhone. I swear there was an app for older non-smart phones back in the day to do this via BlueTooth.

Can BlueTooth tell distance between devices? Is that one of the things it does? Like it could be set to 1-2 feet or 20 feet if needed? Actually, what's the range? The only BlueTooth I've ever used is my keyboard and trackpad for my mini. I can never get it to work with my iOS devices and Mac and when I do there's nothing to do with it that I can't do with WiFi. (I don't use AirDrop at all. Not even on OS X.)

 

[infiniteloop]

Because I'm a nerd, I've been watching some old WWDCs videos. It's funny to see all the stuff we take for granted today being introduced (Phantom Menace trailer being the biggest internet event ever at the time with 10 million downloads, wireless networking etc.). They did some crazy stuff too, like Schiller jumping off a high platform above the stage to prove that the iBooks + Airport base stations actually worked.

Do you have the time stamp on that 1hr+ video as to when that happens?

yeah, is it not in the link, works for me?
