Hardware
At the beginning of May, Sonny Dickson, a former employee of Apple, announced that Apple had completed the design of Siri smart speakers, and it was aiming at Amazon Echo. And last week, the foreign media Bloomberg even directly said that this speaker has been mass produced, which further increases the possibility of its appearance on WWDC17.
Like the "trash can" Mac Pro, it also integrates Siri, uses Beats speakers, and may be equipped with a screen. The goal is to become the central control device of Apple's HomeKit smart home.
Siri is equipped with seven tweeters and a bass speaker. It will integrate Siri and AirPlay, and its computing power is close to that of iPhone 6/6s. The positioning is more high-end and the price will be higher than Amazon Echo.
Recently, several new Apple hardware models can be seen in a regulatory document. Let's take a look at what these models represent:
Five device models running macOS 10.12( A1289、A1347、A1418、A1419、A1481 )
4 device models running iOS 10( A1670、A1671、A1701、A1709 )
1 keyboard model of "Apple" brand( A1843 )
After checking with Apple's product line, it is almost certain that five macOS hardware models directly correspond to five products:
A1289: New 12 inch MacBook
A1347: New 13 inch MacBook Air
A1418/1419: New MacBook Pro with/without Touch Bar 13 inch
A1481: New MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 15 inch
Considering that the MacBook Pro series only underwent an overall update last October, and that the laptops are relatively stable and specific, the improvement project of these new machines is "self-evident". The only answer is to replace the latest hardware across the line.
However, due to the consistent style of "toothpaste factory" Intel, the possibility of changing from Skylake architecture to Kabylake this time is very low. At the same time, since the manufacturing process has not been upgraded, the power consumption and heating will not change much. However, MacBook Air, which has not been updated for more than two years, can still pay attention.
The four iOS device hardware models mentioned above are naturally the new iPad Pro. After all, the iPhone 8 will at least wait until autumn. So these four models actually correspond to the new 10.5 and 12.9 inch versions, including WLAN version and WLAN+Cellular version.
According to the disclosure photos provided by the foreign media macrumors, the 10.5-inch new iPad Pro will have a narrow frame design, which is likely to be slightly larger than the 9.7-inch iPad. This will undoubtedly form peer competition, and the 9.7-inch iPad may face delisting.
About the last mysterious device "the keyboard model of Apple brand( A1843 )”At present, there is no information, but it is really strange to create a keyboard out of thin air, which may be an accessory for the new iPad Pro.
OS
IOS 11 can be said to be the highlight of WWDC17 this time, and will be officially promoted to everyone after the release of iPhone 8. Well, it is Apple's tradition.
As far as the current rumor updates are concerned, iOS has the opportunity to become a "stunning" new iOS again. Siri will be a big focus. Apple is likely to equip the continuous dialogue function on Google Assistant on Siri, making it more user-friendly and less mechanical. After all, it has been pressed by Google for so long, and it has to turn around.
As for the most credible major update, it is a new UI interface design. It should be noted that this UI update will be "comprehensive and complete", which means that the design of the system settings interface and various basic applications may be changed. As for the actual effect, there is no confirmed disclosure so far.
Secondly, iOS 11 will further optimize the iPad series products with larger screens. Specifically, iOS 11 will make great progress in the number and depth of applications supported by Apple Pencil.
There will be no small improvement in the system. Currently known functions include FaceTime and iMessage, which may be able to chat with multiple people. It is said that the latter can support five people to chat at the same time. Of course, these two functions seem weak in the face of WeChat.
In terms of music, Jimmy Iovine, head of Apple Music, said directly that "iOS 11 will have a new Apple Music application, which will better display videos". This change is believed to be directly related to Apple's creation of original content.
For the mac system, we should see the preview version of macOS 10.13 after the minor update this time. The official version also depends on the pace of hardware release. This version number not only appears in one of Apple's official domain names, but also is found by foreign media cookies.
The specific function updates should be very simple. The most important thing is still Siri, but the overall environment has changed from a mobile phone to a computer.
Another thing worth looking forward to is APFS( Apple File System )This system, which was released last year and has been applied on iOS 10, is not only optimized for flash memory and solid state disk, but also improves the basic design. I believe it will be better in reading and storage.
The update content of watchOS 4 should be relatively fixed. First, naturally, the UI design is unified with iOS 11. Second, the basic ability of fluency and endurance is further improved. As for tvOS... I guess I don't have much use for...
