Apparently there is no upcoming hardware being released at WWDC. No idea how reliable that rumour is though.

Probably breaking news on these rumour sites that we’ll hear about new software releases at WWDC with how idiotic they are.

WWDC is traditionally about software, it's only recently that they've started throwing the occasional hardware announcement in the keynote.

True but they did announce the two Mac Studio releases and the Mac Pro last year at WWDC but I doubt they will do that this year.

Bloomberg saying we'll get a proper password app to rival 1Password, would be nice as I'm already all in on iCloud passwords.

It would have to be something amazing to get me off Bitwarden. I also have Proton Pass for free with my Proton Mail email account. If it can beat both of them then it'll be pretty impressive.

Is anyone planning on installing the first beta OS' when they come out? iOS and macOS mainly.

Not a chance in hell. The earliest I'll install either is the RC.

Fair. I guess waiting is the best idea.

Public betas are normally fine for iOS. Just check your bank(s) apps work and normally you’re golden.

 

[Broken Hope]

Given that this year looks to have substantial changes I know I’ll end up jumping in on the beta.

Dub Dub Day! Excited for later!

Another year for my beloved 2018 iPad Pro. What a purchase.

The iPhone XS will be retaining compatibility with iOS 18 too, apparently. Naturally it won't get all features but that's very good for a 2018 phone.

The public betas have been ok over last couple of years I’ve installed them. I await what is announced for iPad iOS though I’m still using an M1 iPad Pro. I expect disappointment may be on the horizon

 

[SpartaP]

Here’s to hoping iOS 18 will have some decent and significant changes. Big rumours already mentioned being AI, but I wonder if they’ll charge for its service after a period of time like Samsung have announced with theirs.

Hopefully they won’t, which would certainly be a win. If AI is part of iOS 18 then I do wonder how far back Apple will implement it.

Oh noo, last minute rumour suggests watchOS 11 will drop support for the original SE. Mine has done me well, but I guess it's time for a new one (or replace with a few different analog watches like I keep considering).

Hopefully they say something about RCS integration. I will finally be able to share photos and things with my Crapdroid family.

Do they not have WhatsApp?
