What Came out of the WWDC

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) was once again a success. The perenial tech leader revealed its strategy (or part of) for combating the rapidly growing Android market. News coming out of the conference was especially interesting for iOS users.

Hang onto your iPhone 4s skin cover!. The iPhone and iPad interfaces are undergoing exciting updates that will give them a cutting-edge and elegant new look. The iOS7 operating system and its many new features will give your device a brand new look. Cool for you and a smart brand loyalty play on Apple's part.

Presenters at the conference described the interface as a "crystal clear pane of layered glass" with icons that appear flat. The home screen boasts a 3D-like experience when you shift your phone and a semi-translucent keyboard. Apple seems poised to reassert itself as the leader in cool, minimilistic design.

We have a feeling that many people on the cusp of switching to an Android will now reconsider. iOS7 will be available in the fall for iPhone 4 and newer models as well as iPad 2 and newer models. A BETA version has already been released for developers to begin working on.

If you've already got a premium iPad cover be patient, your cover + tablet combo is about to get an iOS7 upgrade. If not, shop now so you're ready for the upgrade when it arrives!

Rumors of a Redesigned Macs

WWDC is around the corner—it starts Monday, June 10 to be exact—and rumors are spreading like wildfire, some which sound like very distinct possibilities. Who knows—we all may be in the market for new MacBook Pro covers much sooner than many of us imagined!

 Several bloggers have leaked a huge one about the possibility of refreshed, 2013 models of both the MacBook Pro Retina and Air. The buzz is that the Pro Retina model would boast a slimmer profile and its processor would be bumped up to the Intel Haswellchip. The 2013 MacBook Air may receive a battery-saving Haswell processor and much overdue dual-microphones, though the possibility of a Retina display may be more unlikely, as the added cost would make it very challenging at present.

 Since Apple has promised to redesign their desktop computers by the end of this year, it’s expected that they will make some sort of announcement at WWDC next week. After all, with more than 20,000 likes on the “We Want a New Macpro” Facebook page, they have to respond in some way. Lou Borella, the administrator of the page, wrote that it was implied to him that the new Mac Pro would feature support for dual-GPUs and that it would be heavily reliant on Thunderbolt. He also blogged of rumors that Apple would be making a radical move toward having no FireWire 800 ports or optical drives on its new Mac Book Pro.

In addition, it’s been rumored that the new Mac Pro would have no internal expandability, and therefore, the Apple desktop would fall in line with all other one-size-fits-all computers.

 Last but not least, you may have time to shop for accessories and cool MacBook pro covers. It’s rumored that, even though the computer-focused WWDC appears to be the ideal time for new release, the unveiling of a redesigned Mac Pro would most likely take place in the fall.
