WWDC 18 rumors

There’s many new rumors and outcomes happening next on WWDC, but we have to wait for the event in one day! Here’s a look into the upcoming event: the new iPhone SE, iOS 12, and the new watchOS and macOS.


iOS 12 and the iPhone 5s

First off, let’s start with iOS 12 rumors and the iPhone 5s. While many people were wondering if the iPhone 5s can support the new iOS 12, it can be very likely to be supported. Jonathan Bedard from WebKit Bugzilla ran a couple tests for iOS 12 and the code had shown that the iPhone 5s passed the tests for iOS 12 compatibility. This is useful as it can help predict whether iOS devices can be compatible or not for future iOS versions.
In addition, iOS 12 can have several new features. There could be dark mode, an always on display for iPhone X, more 3D Touch functions, and a notification indicator as tiny enough to fit in the notch. There would be a major redesign in Apple Music, the widgets, and the calendar app. iOS 12 can also have a Live Photo fit into the home screen.


iPhone SE 2 rumors 

Now let’s talk about the iPhone SE 2, the upcoming iPhone. Many of the concepts depicted a notch on the front of the iPhone screen like an iPhone X screen. Some even included a seamless, full glass back and/or double camera as what an iPhone X has. There would still be the chamfered aluminum edges, sides, and most likely, the same back as the prior iPhone SE.

watchOS 5

watchOS 5 has several interesting features. There would be third party faces, custom faces that you can make in the Apple Watch app on your paired iPhone, and more complications for more usefulness. There should be improvements on cellular service in the Series 3 Apple Watch, more new faces, and CarPlay for the Apple Watch Series 3 (for those who don’t want to take your iPhone on quick trips). It would be ideal to have a calculator app for the Apple Watch as well.

macOS 

Many people were befuddled over what Apple will choose for the new name for the new macOS. Since 2014, on the day of OS X Yosemite’s announcement, Apple is naming every macOS version from California landmarks.
Rumored names include:
• macOS Cupertino
• macOS Summit (because there was Mac OS X El Capitan, then macOS Sierra, and macOS High Sierra)
• macOS Golden Gate Bridge
• Anything Apple would name what they want
Many of the concepts depicted an iOS inspired logon screen, icons, and Notification Center. There should be Face ID if the next MacBook Pro or MacBook Air comes out later this year, and AirPlay 2.

The bottom line 

At last, Apple should add more functionality into iOS 12 and watchOS 5. They should have the iPhone 5s be the longest iPhone to support 6 iOS versions consecutively, and add more faces for the Apple Watch.

Apple is Taking the Initative to Manufacture Apple Products from 100% Recycled Materials

Image
Back in 2017, Apple planned a “mining-free” future by manufacturing Apple products out of 100% recycled materials. Many experts recently added that Apple would have a way of doing this, but they don’t know how to do this right now. According to a 2017 report from Apple’s environmental leader Lisa Jackson, she stated that, It sounds crazy, but we’re working on it. We’re moving toward a closed-loop supply chain. One day we’d like to be able to build new products with just recycled materials, including your old products.... We’re actually doing something we rarely do, which is announce a goal before we’ve completely figured out how to do it. So we’re a little nervous, but we also think it’s really important, because as a sector we believe it’s where technology should be going. This implies that “closed-loop” means Apple is reusing components and parts of iOS devices to new iPhones and iPads. The change is great for Apple’s environmental protection laws, but it’s a struggle in th

The 2019 Apple Shareholders Meeting

Two days ago, on March 1st, 2019, Apple held their own shareholders meeting at the Steve Jobs Theater. The 2019 Apple Shareholders Meeting explains how the Cupertino company faced its controversial issues and a teaser for the next iPad Pro. Various shareholders brought up issues over the last year, and they voted whether Apple’s board of executives should disclose ideological information about nominees. The meeting started with the enthusiastic Tim Cook, which he had the same excitement as a September Apple event. He kicked off the meeting by this phrase: “I love this meeting because I get to see some of my old friends here that I only see maybe once a year.” Excitement is integral in every Apple event or meeting Tim Cook steps into. When it comes to shareholder meetings, many of the people attending the event only goes there once a year. It’s not a media event, but it’s for investors and shareholders of Apple. Next, Kate Adams, the general counsel of Apple, takes over to t

It’ll make it more easier to install Microsoft Office apps on your Mac, and allowing users to pay and renew their Office 365 subscription in the app. In addition, Apple wrote in their Announcement  that with these Office 365 apps being optimized for the Mac, it can also open up to more features and to a more easier interface.
