Today, at 21.00 MSK, will start one of the biggest annual events Apple – World Wild Developer Conference, or abbreviated WWDC. Although the formal event is primarily for developers, the conference attracts the attention and all the fans of “apple” gadgets around the world.
reliably know that will be presented during the WWDC, can only be a limited number of employees of Apple, but nevertheless based on a number of statements by Tim Cook, the experience of previous events and leak detection, you can accurately guess, that there will still be submitted.
greatest public interest is the upcoming release of iOS 7 – the first after the change of manager, who was responsible for its creation, Scott Forstalla. As you know, because of certain disagreements about the quality of cards Apple Tim Cook fired Forstalla and shared the reins of power between the main iOS Apple designer Jony Ayvom, the main developer of OS X Friderichi Craig, head of services Eddy Cue and vice president Bob Mansfield. Judging by the statements of the Tim Cook, mainly in the quartet has become Johnny Ive, who must give iOS a more modern look.
Previous versions of iOS, starting with the first one, were created in the spirit of Aqua created for Mac OS X and presented in 2000 by Steve Jobs. It was then that the interface of Apple products appeared “skevomorfizm” – imitation and imitation of real-world objects with shadow effects, volume, physical phenomena.
basic design elements of iOS have not changed for six years, and since then the design trends have changed a lot. Perhaps the decision of the Cook vsee active steps to change the affected Microsoft’s redesign of its operating systems – namely Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 is the first to show an example of a fully “flat” design and a complete rejection of skevomorfizma.
All leaks indicate that Johnny Ive iOS is going to change in the same spirit – instead of textures that mimic the skin and the tree will be plain gray or black backgrounds, application icons Apple will lose from the effects of the shadows and will be redrawn in a more ascetic spirit. Weather app can get active animation, and Game Center no longer pretend to the roulette table.
new functional iOS 7, not much is known. It is expected that the mobile operating system from Apple will integrate photoservice Flickr and video sharing Vimeo – after the user enters their username and password into the system, it will be able to quickly upload their data to these websites.
Continuing the theme of photography, Apple can build in the camera interface to apply effects to photos without the use of third-party applications. It is possible that by so photos and videos, users will be able to transfer over Wi-Fi or a 3G connection with the function AirDrop, which allows you to quickly and safely share files.
In addition, it is expected that Apple will introduce new features to iPhone interaction with cars such as the iPhone interface for projection during navigation.
course, since WWDC is primarily a conference for developers, Apple will also demonstrate a set of internal changes in the OS, and features relevant only to developers.
However WWDC should not be limited only to the presentation of the updated iOS. It is expected that there will be presented a new version of Mac OS X with an index of 10.9. According to information from reliable sources is sufficient, as long as it does not get in the spirit of the redesign iOS 7 – “Calendar”, “Contacts”, “Reminders” and “Notes” retain elements skevomorfizma.
assumed that changes in OS X 10.9 will affect primarily active users. Thus, in the Finder, tabs appear, you can quickly switch between folders. Mac OS X users will be able to use different full-screen applications on the external and internal display.
There are rumors of a possible porting Siri to work with OS X, but it is not known whether this function will get a release of OS because most developers have been temporarily transferred to the team to speed up iOS its release, which, in turn, significantly slowed the development of OS X.
Most experts agree that Apple will repeat last year’s WWDC scheme and submit their updated computers. So, you can expect the announcement of the updated models MacBook Air, which is likely to get the latest processor Intel Haswell.
However, it is unlikely that there will be presented the updated model Macbook Pro – most likely, they will combine with the announcement of the final version of the presentation of Mac OS X 10.9, that is, it will happen later.
part of the show, which will take place during the WWDC, perhaps, will be the presentation of a new music service Apple Radio. It is expected to provide an opportunity to listen to your favorite music in streaming for a monthly subscription, just as it is implemented in the services Spotify, Pandora, Rdio, Xbox Music, Nokia Music + and many others.
