onion haseo brian Tong here welcome to the alpha x for all the good and bad inside the world of apple right now I'm in Korea so uh I work on my korean won i'm out there but this week we're gonna set you up with everything we expect to see at WWDC 2013 and if you're hoping that app will release one of their next game changers you're gonna be a little disappointed instead Tim Cook recently said that WWDC will showcase the future of iOS 7 and OS 10 a new hardware will be coming in the fall now I'm excited because we finally see if the Cupertino kids in Johnny I've have created a completely new look and feel for Apple's mobile OS with its rumored flattered you I there's no denying that's fallen behind Android and they need something badly now the rumor mills have been pretty quiet and we haven't seen any screenshot leaks yet and the same goes for OS 10 we know both iOS and OS 10 have shown up in website logs and are being tested but Apple has done a great job keeping them under wraps so the plan is to show off iOS get it into developers hands so they can update their apps and incorporate new features and then release it publicly with the new iphone that we expect to see some time around September which is what they've historically done in the past and hopefully we get OS 10 I'm still sticking to the Hello Kitty name we also expect it to look a little flatter and release sometime around mid to late july now one service we might finally see is the premiere of apples i radio service cnet reports that apple's reached a deal with warner music group the world's number three major music label they've already locked down a deal with the big kahuna universal music with Sony being their final big label to lock down now the timing of the Warner deal suggests Apple is pushing hard to try to unveil their service for WWDC so I'm gonna give this a 50-50 chance that we see it but if they close the deal with Sony in time we'll definitely see it at the worldwide developers conference now we told you we don't expect to see any of apple's rumored new shiny toys like the Apple TV TV or the iWatch but we do expect to see a hardware refresh for the macbook pros and macbook airs at WWDC now getting Intel's latest Haswell chip said that dramatic reduce power consumption is pretty much a given but a KGI Securities analyst expects a slightly slimmer form factor with the retina macbook pro 13 and improved FaceTime cameras that will support full 1080p video now on the macbook air line KGI also expects to see dual built-in microphones for better FaceTime and voip audio quality we'll see how it shakes out but either way if you bought a macbook pro a few days ago you're probably crying right now alright WWDC could also be a great time to show off the new Mac Pro that Tim Cook promised will come out later this year but my gut says we still won't see them I could be wrong but we haven't heard a peep about Apple's revamp pro desktops yet now the small hardware update we did recently see was the lower-priced ipod touch at 229 the now comes in a 16 gig capacity loses the rear camera and the biggest thing I'm sad about the loss of the loop attachment I just wanted to give it the moment of silence it deserves but this points to Apple Lily looking at bringing a scaled-down version of a current product at a cheaper price and points to a stronger possibility the Apple might bring two different iphone models later in the fall so I don't know about you guys but I'm honestly excited about WWDC I've always been a fan of OS updates well except for last year's when Apple basically kept it the same and added new features that I barely used but this is a make-it-or-break-it year for them and it will trickle down to all their new products in 2013 now you the Apple biters can also watch our live coverage of WWDC 2013 on june the 10th starting at 9am i'll be hosting a live pre-show where you can call in life send in your tweets and pick my small tiny brain will watch the keynote together like BFFs and then have a live post show and you can find it all at cnet com on Monday June the tent that's gonna do for this we show and we'll break down everything next week send me your emails to the apple byte at cnet com and your tweets at brian Tong because we want to know if Apple delivered for you at WWDC and read them in next week's show i'm brian Tong thanks for watching we'll catch you guys next time for another bite of the Apple oh hold on one sec Tyga
