hey everyone welcome to the inside scoop I'm cnet's cara de Savoie joined by senior writer Josh Lowensohn we are on location outside of moscone west and as you can see behind us they're putting up the apple logo in preparation for next week's WWDC Worldwide Developer Conference Josh a little preview of what's to come next week yeah you know the big deal is iOS and Mac os10 Apple said they're going to introduce the new versions of it of course that's just for developers we're fun I gotta get their hands on it for a couple more months right what are you expecting in this upgrade uh you know for iOS there's been a lot of talk about redesign maybe something that looks a little bit more flat iOS is basically have the same look since it came out in 2007 ok with the iphone so it's it's kind of overdue especially in terms of what's in competitors like Microsoft and Google are doing so that's the big thing and then on Mac side there really hasn't been a lot known besides the fact that they put that new version every year now we're overdue okay so what what do we know though about a new mac that could come out I mean obviously thinner lighter cheaper but what about on the hardware side a lot of its gonna be about the pro notebooks things like the macbook air or the macbook pro in terms of the macbook air it's been a year since the last update intel just put out new chips that actually came out this week so we were gonna get better battery life probably some thinner designs a lot of things that typically come with chip upgrades but for something like the macbook air this could be a big change something like 9 10 hour battery life which is just crazy Wow any other hardware update or hardware announcements were expecting absolutely I think we're gonna see some stuff on the wireless side so routers probably move to the speedier 802 11 AC which is you know faster than n a lot of other PC makers are moving to that I think we can also need to expect a new mac pro this is apple's desktop tower and a lot of the rumors have been pointing to something that looks a little bit more like a beefed-up mac mini so that could be really cool i mean it's it's hard because that's always been the apples most expensive and expandable computer and it might just be something that you can't actually change anything on it which is kind of crazy but historically WWDC is not the place for new iphone ipod updates that's not always the case but it's true so like the iphone 4 was introduced here and we've seen upgrades like the iphone 3gs those kind of products are so big now that they do kind of warrant their own events a lot of times just to explain features so I would expect to see either here but you never know and what about a watch I'll talked about this for months are we gonna see it I don't think we're gonna see watch if this thing we're not gonna see a television things like that are again worthy other own things um I don't know yeah you never know but I don't think we're gonna see that or any sort of new TV stuff so this really is for developers it's a five-day-long conference and what really is the point for them right so I mean the big thrust of course is keynote on Monday which runs about an hour to and the rest of it is basically just sessions so they're learning about new platform stuff it was probably be the iOS and mac side it's really time for them ask questions meetup there's also a couple events like a design awards show and they usually drive people down to cupertino to go see a concert for them it's a lot of face time with the company that they don't normally get great the coverage begins Monday morning yeah we'll be there live join us awesome thank you so much senior writer Josh Lowensohn I'm car soo boy I hope you tune in to WWDC coverage starting Monday June tenth thanks so much thanks for watching the inside scoop
