SAN FRANCISCO – “The Epicenter of Change” is the slogan chosen by Apple’s WWDC 2015 (Worldwide Developers Conference) 8 to 12 June in San Francisco, California. The invitation design shows a central square, a device obviously, with which intersecting ovals, circles, diamond shapes of different sizes and colors of the rainbow. A device that looks set to be the hub of the digital change. Yes, because on the surface corresponds to an epicenter hypocenter, toward the heart of the Earth, where it generates the earthquake. Exactly. The smart home with which Apple wants to give a jolt to our habits needs a ball safely through with which to organize the flow of information, the contents of our digital lives, the very functioning of our house. It looks a bit ‘, the new Apple TV seems made for this work, with the help of the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Too bad that on Monday in front of thousands of developers from around the world this new hardware should not be there, as he anticipated the New York Times . The reasons? Are assumed design issues but also delays in negotiations with the network called upon to fill the content of nascent streaming Apple TV.
At this point it is easy to imagine the plot of the keynote which will see the head of Apple Tim Cook , the head of the engineering software Craig Federighi and the manager of software and services Eddy Cue , Monday, June 8 take the stage of the Moscone Center in San Francisco : much, much software, whereas we are the event which brings together the galaxy of svluppatori of Apple. The software necessary to accommodate all this change, transforming visions into reality. With the aim of imposing standards, real specialty of the house Apple. The feeling, however, is that new operating system for mobile devices and their computer will first of all more stable and secure. With an effort of optimizing and lightening that – hopefully – will make you smile again to those who have not brand new devices and wants to continue to use them. Let us then see what we can expect Monday morning by 10 (the 19 Italian, Repubblica.it will follow the event with a Live Blog). Ready, of course, to be denied by a final surprise.
9 iOS . The new Apple’s mobile OS, code-named “Monarch”, will arrive in the autumn but the Beta version will be released to developers soon after WWDC. Do not expect revolutions, those have already arrived with iOS7 first and then iOS8: many of the innovations of the new system, as they say in the jargon, are “under the hood”. We should have a new security system, Rootless, to make it even more difficult life various systems jailbreak; Incoming data is also the split-screen mode (already possible on Android), or the ability to open and operate two programs simultaneously and is given in the home straight also support multi-user. Functions, the latter, which should anticipate the launch (expected in early 2016) the so-called iPad Pro 12.9 inch clearly destined to a user business. And again, probable improvements to the virtual keyboard, iMessage enhanced (with new management status and notifications of reading) richer maps and functional, the adoption of a new system font (the San Francisco, the same as the Apple Watch) and bid farewell to Spotlight in favor of a software research called Proactive that promises to be much more comprehensive. You know Google Now, which learns from your habits and I will remember integrating them with updates found on the net? It will probably also this.
iMusica stream . Expects the launch of iTunes Radio, a new music streaming service based on Beats Audio (services purchased for $ 3 billion in 2014) with which you can listen to all the music subscription on iTunes. This time around we might have ourselves users Italians. Subscriptions? Imagine themselves in line with competitors in the market and therefore of just under $ 10 a month.
HomeKit, the heart of the whole . And ‘the home automation platform designed by Apple to rule the Internet of things, the real challenge. The first compatible devices are coming out on the market these days and expectations are considerable. And from the stage at the Moscone Center could add interesting ideas, intertwined with the possible new Apple TV and the potential of mobile devices. Waiting in this key app a Home that is able to recognize and communicate, via voice recognition of Siri and the iPhone, with all of the devices in the home. Then partnerships with companies to extend as much as possible connections with the automation of the Mela.
Apple Watch . Software more stable with the almost certain arrival of the “Find My Apple Watch”, can take advantage of the WiFi signal to determine its position relative to the iPhone. Will help identify the location of the clock on the map and, if this had been stolen, to erase data remotely. Even software: the way for third-party native applications (not currently exist for Apple Watch) is required, you just have to follow it. A new special tool for developers could open their chance so far precluded.
OS X 10.11 . His code name is Gala. But we know little else of the successor of Yosemite which will arrive in October. For sure will keep the line drawn by graphic minimalist design chief Jony Ive. Almost certainly it will adopt the same font of the Apple Watch (San Francisco) considered more readable and offer better overall performance by optimizing code that will also lower energy consumption. Even OS X 11.10 Rootless should implement the system for added security. The rest we’ll find out soon.
apple pay. Cupertino is expected to announce an initiative to reward the most loyal users Apple Pay, the payment system for mobile devices based on NFC launched in 2014 in the United States. Not about Europe nor Italy. And who knows when we will cover.
The new iPhone . Do not go up on stage but flit in every moment of the WWDC 2015. We assess the situation. Aesthetically similar to the models on the market, should reach the general public in hand with the new iOS9, and then in autumn. Logically they will call 6S and 6s Plus and show improvements of some weight: 12 megapixel camera, Touch Force, more RAM and more powerful processor. Just the possible adoption of a display with Touch Force (capable of measuring the pressure of the finger), as is the case on most new laptops of Apple, opens the door to a host of applications that could revolutionize the user experience of new Melafonino. It is only a matter of time.
Apple TV all new, but not right away . Putting aside the idea of building a smart TV at home, such as ensuring financial analysts, Cupertino is preparing to launch a new version of its set-top box, the Apple TV, the black box that takes a smart TV in the large store audio Video of Apple. But we will have to wait because the good intentions of Cupertino have had to deal with technical delays and negotiations aimed not for content that will make sense of it all. We wait, almost certainly, this fall. For sure it will not be an update and just, but we can find before substantial changes, such as integration with Siri, the voice assistant of the iPhone and iPad, the ability to download the appropriate app and a new remote control with touch functions. In addition to a more powerful processor such as the A8 and greater storage capacity, from the current 8GB to 16. All features are essential because the new Apple TV will become the hub for the platform homekit but at the same time suggest a significant redesign of the product . Forget the black box as it is, this will be a different thing. And unlike pure price: it remains difficult to 79 euro. But that seems to be able to settle into our living rooms we have to wait.
