![]() There have been Mac hardware reveals at previous WWDC events, even if just the sight of a MacBook of some kind behind glass covers. This is where we get into the world of hardware announcements. The latest tvOS has just been updated, with a new Apple TV app so it may be that tvOS will be limited to a brief mention plus some new hints about the TV+ subscription service coming in the fall, plus more details of the TV app on other devices such as Amazon Fire TV Stick. There have already been plenty of rumors about watchOS 6, and include new health features, which you can read about here. This is likely to continue, but the prospect of universal apps that will work identically across all platforms is probably not with us as soon as June. In recent years, Apple’s products have worked increasingly closely, with apps spilling from an iPad to a Mac to an iPhone and so on. The update to the Mac software, macOS 10.15 will be the successor to the current Mojave, so its name will be one of the first things to be revealed. Rumors include a dark mode, as mentioned above, a keyboard where you can swipe from one letter to another, a revamp for the Files app and updates to how Apple Pencil is used. ![]() The iOS announcements are always the headline-grabbers. The biggest part of the morning will be iOS 13. These announcements will take up nearly all the keynote. The first beta versions of all of these will likely be put live during or soon after the keynote starts, once the new features have been revealed. We will hear all about the next iterations of Apple software, from macOS 10.15 to iOS 13, watchOS 6 and tvOS 13. Okay, on to the announcements, likely or less likely. You can read way more into these images but, as always with Apple, there’s enough ambivalence here for the company to tweak what it announces in the coming days. ![]() It’s in four colors, perhaps confirming iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. Note that the unicorn’s mushroom cloud of creativity is multi-colored, unlike the other images. All of which confirms the obvious: we’ll see new iOS and macOS announcements. The swift that represents the Swift coding language is there, the cube logo that indicates Augmented Reality, the App Store logo, the rocket ship that indicates App Store games, the share icon and neon versions of selection slider buttons, for instance. Of the different illustrations, it’s the unicorn that has been sent to all the press I know, so that’s going to be the one that indicates the nature of the keynote rather than the week that follows it.
