what's good brian Tong here and welcome to the show for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple and this week it's all about what you can expect to see at WWDC 2014 just a few days before the big announcements all right let's get to the show and Apple officially announced they'll be making their WWDC keynote announcement available for the public to see with a live stream on Monday June the second at ten a.m. pacific time with exciting announcements now june second will also be the day that no work gets done now Apple doesn't always do this so consider it a treat and you know see that we'll have our signature pre keynote and post keynote coverage for all of apple's announcements right here so make sure to hang out with yours truly and the rest of our crew will be taking your live calls live tweets and we'll break it all down for you now I think it's going to be a good one this year so what should we realistically expect to see from the beg a well the Financial Times is reporting that Apple has been working on an iOS controlled smart home automation platform that will be unveiled at WWDC now remember this conference is all about the developers and there's typically less of an emphasis on hardware the platform would turn the iphone into a remote control for your lights your security system and other household appliances Apple is one of the first retail stores to carry Philips hue light bulbs and the nest thermostat that can both be controlled by your phone but apples looking bigger to unveil a new central platform that will do it all with different devices now the report says it will be similar to Apple's made for iphone program that labeled speakers headphones and accessories except this time it will apply to light bulbs home appliances and more but too bad they can't use the name my home yeah it's already taken by this guy now if you've been following the show we pretty much have kept you up to speed on what else to expect but just in case iOS 8 codename Kokomo is expected to get a boatload of new features in all of this will point the new hardware we can expect to see in the near future fitness and health tracking will get a big push with the health book application that is expected to aggregate health and fitness data from different apps and hardware all into one place it'll be able to track any thing from steps taken calories burned miles walked in even blood work details like heart rate blood pressure and blood sugar levels now maps will finally bring public transportation and it improved maps with clear labeling and data that will be more reliable but I'll be the judge of that we're also hoping to see voice over LTE become a standard part of the OS currently many calls are sent over last gen 3g networks but voice over LTE would bring significantly improved call quality and if you've ever tried a FaceTime audio call it sounds amazing with a good signal and that's really what we're missing all right in the US t-mobile currently supports it while verizon and AT&T are testing it out for a roll out later this year we may or may not see this depending on if the carriers are ready and will be curious to hear anything about the new carplay and what type of inter a pinta gration we might see bridging third-party apps to apple's new platform all right OS 10 10 point 10 is codenamed sera after the fine red wine and reports from nine to five max that Jony ive is leading a significant design overhaul for OS 10 and the new aesthetics will be the flagship feature apple will be touting with a new look and feel across the OS expect it to be flat and white and hopefully they get rid of their hyper colors and what about Dre don't forget about Dre don't know me fix a mochi put a fizz okie Apple confirm the deal for 3 billion dollars with this nice picture but I don't know about you I was just hoping that Tim Cook we rockin a big chain in this picture and also uh he's hiding something something on his wrist now WWDC could be the place to talk about the Apple beats vision for a music service moving forward but let's also hope Dre does not perform on stage because Kanye did that years ago and everyone stayed seated and watched like it was an app demo you got below me takes pics take this haters it was embarrassing all right onto the hardware side like I said last week we aren't expecting an iphone or i watch here they could prove me wrong but WWDC has always been the place where new computer hardware has been announced in the past now I expect we'll see new macbook pro retinas with speed bumps at the very least and the dark horse here could be the long-rumored 12 inch Retina Display MacBook Air with a thinner design and an all new body we just don't know this for sure yet also imax mac minis and even the mac pro could be in the mix for speed bumps and price drops but if not at WWDC then most likely during the back-to-school season and again I know I still don't see an iWatch or an iPhone here but the surprise could be the all new Apple TV because this is where developers are and if they're going to open it up for more apps and games this is the place to show it off so really that's a lot of stuff packed into a two-hour presentation we have iOS 8 OS 10 a possible home automation platform new MacBook Pros another way too long demo for the next infinity blade yawn then there's a chance for speed bumps to other macs and the possibility for the all new Apple TV it's more than enough to talk about all that WWDC 2014 stuff until next week but there's a wrap up of what we expect here at the apple pipe alright guys let's get to our spec macbook pro case give away last week we told you to decide if it was a good apple or a bad apple for the big a to take down the weed firm app now a lot of you said it was bad because Apple wants to keep all the weed to themselves which is exactly what a pothead would say so congrats go out to our appt abiders on email john lozol day says bad apple because what is wiz khalifa going to do in his free time Kerry Gong says good apple because weed is a bad for anyone and on Twitter Daniel yanez thinks it's a good Apple only because he liked the picture of the good apples we showed and ebrahim Namir says it's a bad apple since they just showed they are against high tech all right congrats to all of you and we will be in touch keep sending me your email to the Apple by to cnet com or tweet a brian Tong so I can read them while I do my my crunches you know what the summer coming up got to work on that that's going to do for this week so we'll see you after WWDC 2014 and I'll catch y'all next week for another bite of the Apple
