2014-05-29
hey everyone welcome to the inside scoop I've seen that scar Savoy joined by senior writer Shara tip caen and we are here outside of the Moscone Center in San Francisco to talk about Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference starting next week jun 2nd through six yes annual conference yes what are we expecting this year a lot of software um you know we're not really expecting a lot of hardware out of this event if any but software is going to be the story for the whole show and we're talking iOS and OS updates yes for sure and actually this time around people are thinking there's gonna be more done with OS 10 okay then with iOS right his last year we saw iOS 7 and ass and that was pretty new and Ashley a complete redesign you know her Johnny I've versus the old team so this time around he's getting his hands on the Mac operating system so you know it's supposed to get a different kind of look but I'm also still be distinct from iOS is what people are thinking ok so that's pretty much a definite sure thing enough yes yeah ok what are some of the maybes that you're expecting yeah one of the things we've heard about is a home automation which could be really interesting this is an area you know that Google is getting into it nest Samsung has started to focus on your kind of everybody is looking at this is kind of the next frontier like the home so Apple doing something there could be pretty interesting it's it's not exactly clear how this would work but it'd probably be something that you can control with your iphone or ipad and you know possibly using Apple TV in there as well interesting and what about health and fitness obviously everyone wants to get into that place is it apples turn this time around I don't think we're gonna see an iWatch here you know that that's something that everybody's kind of waiting for but I think that that's probably more likely in time for the holidays but you know I think we're going to see at like a sort of health book type of program that collects all of your fitness data in one location kind of like the apple passbook sure ok and what about automated payments I know Apple hasn't really jumped into that on their own yet yeah is this the time mobile payments you know there's there's rumors that in the next iPhone will include NFC which could be a really big deal yeah you know Samsung is the one who's really pushed this sort of thing you know but they also have hourly done much with mobile payments mobile payments is something that's kind of a promise for a really long time but hasn't really happened you know Apple is someone who could you know help move this forward but you know whether this happens right now or later this year is kind of the question and speaking of later this year this is typically not the conference to release any big you know iphone ipad updates yeah you expect that to be the same yeah exactly yeah I mean I I would say with almost certainty that there will not be an iphone you know like there's there's some talk about possible smaller capacity iPhones being announced but I also don't think that that's probably going to happen either you know apples going to save that kind of stuff for later this year okay and what about a tablet air the macbook Oh new news on that front I don't think so you know they just updated the air with some new processors you know I think in April so seeing something there isn't very likely at this point you know people are waiting for an air with retina display right so when that happens you know that's kind of the next big push for the air you know as far as max then the next big Intel processor is late this year yeah at best for holiday so you know if they're updating the machines right now it's not going to be as much of a change you know Intel could possibly do some like special special tweaks to its current chip line for Apple but you know I think that a really big update for any of the pcs would be later this year or early next year so really sounds like 2014 WWDC sort of follows in the footsteps of previous years yeah for sure software yeah yeah I mean I think it's gonna look a lot like last year minus the mac pro announcement you know they released their brand new really high-end PC there and I I don't think that we're gonna see anything quite like that but basically the rest of WWDC 2013 is a lot what we're gonna see this year but you never know I've always a Sephora never now everyone can follow along with chars live blog Monday morning about nine thirty on cnet com thank you so much char for your time I'm cars tsuboi and you can watch you the inside scoop you
