Today is Christmas Day for Apple lovers (courtesy of “St. Jobs”). At 10AM PDT, Steve Jobs will give the keynote at WWDC in San Francisco and we’ll almost surely see a new iPhone (iPhone HD?) along with a few other surprises.
Here’s my predictions on what we’ll see:
- new iPhone. I know, I’m going out on a limb here. However, it’s not guaranteed that the prototype we saw earlier was the final build. I think Jobs will announce the new iPhone and they will be available TODAY.
- new Mac Mini. Possibly a slim, vertical Mac Mini. If you take out the optical drive (a la MacBook Air), you’d have a very slim chassis.
- iTunes “in the cloud”. The result of Apple’s recent acquisition of music streaming service LaLa will surely be seen in iTunes.
- Safari 5. The latest version of the browser will debut.
- XCode 4. This year’s version of Apple’s developer tools.
I don’t think we’ll see a new MacBook Air (I’m guessing sometime in the fall/winter for this one). We *might* see something about a new Mac Pro. The most recent model is getting long in the tooth.
Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be VERY exciting.
