Apple's WWDC 2012 Predictions - iReview

2012-06-10
iOS 6 has gone from being a rumor to pretty much a certainty we've got images of an iPad Mini probably coming up and will we be getting a new generation iPhone next week all this and more coming up right now I know I know it's been a while we've been doing a lot of changes behind the scenes you've seen our new review style our new videos coming from Michael Fischer from Tony and from Brandon and let's just say I've been very busy with the post-production of these videos to bring you the same standard quality and everything that we do and well it's time to go back to our roots hello everyone its High Marietta from PocketNow and welcome to our I review the show we go through all this week school and the not so cool inside the world of Apple's iOS devices I've been wanting to say that for a while but this time it's gonna be a little different because well there's not really much to talk about this week everything is gonna happen as of a couple of hours with WWDC 2012 so let's go through our top 5 predictions of what we expect Apple to bring to the table with their new releases or probable non releases number 5 is not even a rumor anymore it's pretty much a certainty iOS 6 is gonna be released at WWDC we've seen the posters out there already the biggest question now is what are we getting facebook integration is coming uh nothing really big there it's pretty much just a button but apparently Siri is gonna lose its iPhone for us exclusivity and now it's gonna be supported by the iPad the question is which iPads are gonna be on that list the iPad 2 should be on the list considering that it's got pretty much the same hardware that we could see in the iPhone 4s but Apple is always Apple and apparently we are going to be getting that Do Not Disturb button for notifications finally let's hope they also include a kill-all button for the multitasking applications if you could call that multitasking but apparently there could be some good things coming with iOS 6 Apple wouldn't be changing the number of it wasn't big but they've been really quiet about everything that will happen most likely we will be getting a beta and then we'll probably get a launch somewhere early you know the fall are probably later within the summer but not really sure it's gonna be launching in June let's see what happens with that one and ios6 pretty much leads us to number four on our list turn-by-turn navigation apparently Apple's bringing a new map service that they call their own obviously they're hiring somebody to do it for them but apparently Google is not gonna be the back engine anymore google recently already had an event where they're showing their new application with 3d mapping coming to the iPhone though not really sure how that's gonna be integrated with the iPhone or if it's gonna be something that's coming from the Google Earth application that we already know but apparently Apple's gonna bring something the question is is it gonna be just 3d maps or turn-by-turn navigation we're hoping that Apple finally gets the memo because that's one of the only reasons why a lot of us people are sticking to Android because we get free turn-by-turn and it's really really good so let's see if Apple gets the memo like I said earlier and bring something new to the table there hopefully something different number three has to do with two different things first of all is iCloud it's turning one year old and what will be customers are losing their exclusive services like for example galleries and file storage as of the 30th of June so what could happen to iCloud first of all there's been rumors of some social streaming happening to Photo Stream after they figured out how to allow us to delete everything somehow and then after that well apparently they're working on a new synchronization service for video earlier of the filming of video just like on Photo Stream and it'll appear on your Mac afterwards for editing not sure if that's gonna happen but that leads us to the other thing that's probably gonna happen what's gonna happen to the Apple TV it has nothing to do with what we cover it's pocket now but it's the number one accessory for the iPad with airplay and everything apparently there are rumors that applications are now gonna be working on the Apple TV at least some of them have these Angry Birds but imagine the opportunity of not only being able to stream things as opposed to also mirroring things to the Apple TV but also playing certain games through the cloud through iCloud with all the apps that you purchase on your iOS device and since have the Apple TV pretty much uses iOS also let's see what they'll do with these two services as of WWDC they ever do anything with them number two can you believe it and I've had many apples been so reluctant to change their form factor a lot of us were beginning to lose hope but it seems that the Kindle Fire has made it then in their market share even those turning out to be a little bit of a dud but apparently Apple is working on a prototype at least to try it and it looks really really credible it's got everything that we'd expect on an iPad Mini and it kind of looks really good let's just hope that Apple brings something different with his iPad Mini if they ever do launch it I think apples not really out to bring a smaller version of the iPad I think that they're I booked haven't really taken off as they'd expect and apparently this iPad Mini could bring that sort of hybrid display that we heard a couple of months ago where it apparently it had eating and also was an LCD sort of a hybrid not sure if the technology is there yet but I think they're mostly focused on bringing an e-reader not necessarily just a tablet or a computer replacement but time will tell and the top number one prediction for WWDC 2012 is none other than a new iPhone call it the iPhone 5 or whatever you want to call it Apple really needs to make changes and we do believe that they will feel the pressure remember what happened with the first generation iPad they saw the competition bring their tablets and immediately they launched it at the iPad 2 we do believe that Apple's seeing the competition coming from the HTC One X and also the Samsung Galaxy s3 we already saw the mock-ups of some real new hardware for the iPhone bringing a new unibody design that uses one part instead of the backing that currently breaks a lot with the glass on glass apparently they are using some sort of new metal with this design not sure what Apple will bring to the table all we know is that the competition is getting so fierce that if Apple doesn't act right now they're gonna have a lot of people wearing Samsung and wearing HTC by the end of the year so hopefully they will be seeing that pressure and I hope I'm right I'm I know a lot of people are saying that this is not gonna happen the rest of the editors in pocket now don't believe it's gonna happen but trust me I do wish I'm right but again next week siren you is gonna be talking about what we liked and what we didn't like about WWDC so hopefully the likes included new iPhones we'll see that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm high memory betta again thank you very much for your support and comments asking for these shows to come back they are back and again don't forget to give us a thumbs up if you like what you saw that's it for now
