The next Apple WWDC keynote is upon us. It will be held tomorrow, June 2nd, 10:00 PDT/13:00 EDT/18:00 BST/19:00 CEST.

 

What do you expect to be announced?

 

Personally I'm going with mostly software-related announcements. iOS 8, OS X 10.10 (both with public betas), Safari 8. Perhaps a few minor updates for Mac hardware, but no new i-devices - those are more than likely to be updated when iOS 8 goes final later this year.

 

Or maybe Apple have 'one more thing' with which to surprise all of us again. 

I think the iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 is a given. As far as public betas I don't know on the iOS front. Probably for 10.10.  I think healthbook will be announced as a feature of iOS 8 so I think its a given. Definitely to soon to see anything Beats related. We may see mac hardware refresh but definitely nothing on the iPhones yet. That won't come till the fall. 

Considering how Apple recently opened up the beta functionality for everyone and the next OS X is probably going to be free, I strongly expect a public beta to be released - maybe even at the time of the keynote.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Hello, Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer. From looking around at reports, I created this list: Gong HackerOne Huntress Insurity Jamf LastPass OneTrust Recorded Future ReliaQuest Salesforce Snyk Sprout Social Tanium It is likely there are other companies affected as well.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
