WWDC 2015

traveyb · 5 Jun 2015 at 19:39

So what you guys hoping to see here?

Aside from the new OS's (iOS 9 and 10.11), my main things are a new Apple TV (with an app store would be amazing) and maybe the new revision of iPhones (6S/6C)

Steedie · 5 Jun 2015 at 22:49

They've already said the new Apple TV won't debut at WWDC as it's not ready

Personally, I don't think we're going to see a whole lot other than maybe a couple of hardware refreshes. We won't see the phones though

They'll spend a lot of it talking about the new streaming service

From a development point of view (which is what the focus of the event is primarily for), I hope that they add some dynamic support to Swift, I really have a problem in passing unchecked strings around instead of type checked references. Thats the main thing I want, other than that making UXKit public for OS X would be nice so I don't have to deal with AppKit, and possibly some NFC API's and native WatchOS apps support would be welcome too.

From a consumer point of view, I just want stability, efficiency and security updates, it's been long overdue as the main focus has been feature pushes for the past few years, primarily in iOS rather than OS X. By the sounds of things this will be the case if the rumours are true, but I do hope that they will bring surprises too, and knowing Apple, they normally do!

Do you think there will be a refresh of the 21" imac with the broadwell chips?
Im looking to buy an imac but I dont know if I should wait or not?

If you don't need it right now then just wait

I want to see .svg support so we can stop with this @2x, @3x madness.

No, it's primarily a software/development conference so I very much doubt an iMac refresh will be announced.

When is the iPhone announcement usually? Is it August/September time close to release?

traveyb · 7 Jun 2015 at 11:03

Ah yes, my bad. Couldn't remember if sometimes they gave an indication of new hardware but it's usually September along with the release of the latest iOS.

Just saw that an announcement about Apple Pay coming to the UK within two months could be a possibility :cool:

I'd love that, really hope it's true

Tilluss · 7 Jun 2015 at 15:04

@ Tunney Native .svg support would indeed be very welcome, the PDF solution they have now is ok for some situations but has it's problems.

It's very frustrating to know exactly when it's coming but not be able to say anything due to NDA :S

Oh go on! You can tell us....we won't let anyone know

I'm still holding out hope for a new Apple TV (I've got the cash waiting!). I'm looking forward to seeing OS X 10.11 and iOS 9, really hope the rumours about these two versions focusing on performance/bug fixes is true rather than adding more and more features.
Interested in seeing the new iTunes/Beats streaming music service also and of course now confirming Apple Pay for the UK.

I'm pretty sure I would be hunted down and shot if I did! Lets just say that 2 months is being very conservative.

LOL if you really are under NDA then you are being taken for a ride

Companies have to prepare for these things somehow, stuff doesn't just magically work on launch without anyone knowing about it

Apple Pay and Apple Music pls
