Here are our expectations for the keynote on Monday.
First, the top issue iOS 9: There is little new features, but a lot of improvements under the hood. Apps use less memory, old devices run more smoothly.
Minor improvements to the interface will also be on board:
- The maps app is truly cleaned and display of public transport. In addition, there could also be photo galleries for shops and other facilities.
- Thanks Rootless iDevices even safer. Already at the kernel level comes before the system against security breaches.
- The connection to the iCloud is improved. Recently there have been many failures.
- Maybe the iPad finally support a split-screen mode, can run simultaneously in the two apps. In the competition long been known, the feature enjoys great popularity there.
- Also installed with Android for a long time and very practical: multi-user accounts. So can install on the family its own iPad apps every user.
- Swift is to be improved and help you reduce app-sizes.
- Thanks to an own HomeKit App Your networked virtual home to iPhone in a single application.
- Pay Apple could launch in other countries, which affects probably Canada, the UK and China, but not Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
- The new iPhone could come with Force Touch. iOS 9 will make this possible. iPhones are of course not shown at WWDC, here you have to wait until late summer: August or September.
- Tap to create a new Standard Keyboard is to be integrated into iOS-9 system.
The second major theme WWDC OS X will be 10:11. And that's why it works:
- Improvements to the interface.
- A Control Center, on the fast can be made to the system settings.
- These same security enhancements that come for iOS should be integrated in OS X.
Topic 3 on the list is the Spotify competitor Apple Music:
- iTunes Radio will be refurbished. New look and new features are expected. You may be also a Europe-start it, but we are skeptical.
- Apple Music brings its own social network for artists and fans.
- The service should be accessible not only to iOS, but also on OS X, Windows and Android.
- The cost should be at 10 dollars per month.
Even the Apple Watch Apple should devote some time:
- Finally Apps can be programmed directly for the Watch that run natively on. Apple will present the new SDK because we're certain.
- The update itself is to appear with iOS 9
