Now that Apple has announced a new iPhone, all those rumors and mockups seem silly to me. Steve was right: you won’t be disappointed by the WWDC keynote, because you’ haven’t seen anything yet.
We didn’t see anything indeed, and we couldn’t expect the iPhone 4 to become in a matter of two hours the most advanced mobile phone ever built.
Early this morning and throughout the year, we’ve heard lots of rumors. WWDC is an event that’s really for the iPhone, and unsurprisingly, Apple made no announcement for a lot of potential topics.
When iBooks initially launched on the iPad, a lot of people wanted wanted a way to view PDFs, and a better way to bookmark pages. Additionally, people asked for a way to take notes. Apple was listening, and now they’ve implemented these features into the new iBooks for the iPad and iPhone 4 as a part of iOS4.
I honestly don’t remember if AT&T has done this before (chime in with a comment below), but AT&T is making almost everyone eligible for the new iPhone on June 20th. Gizmodo reports:
“According to many reports, AT&T subscriptions that weren’t eligible for phone upgrades until all the way in November have been expedited…”
If you’re So even if you’re on that two year contract and aren’t ready for an upgrade, AT&T is throwing all of that aside. They want you to have the new iPhone, which is spectacular. So pony up two hundred bucks, and get ready to lay out that cash for the world’s most anticipated iPhone yet.
Finally, All Things Digital has posted the full-length version of Steve Jobs interview at D8 last week. Watch the 1 hour and 35 minutes video after the break.
In the past three weeks we all agreed that Steve might have some big product announcements to make at today’s WWDC keynote, beside the new iPhone. MobileMe going free? Safari 5? A new Apple TV?
What about a Magic Trackpad? After all, we already have a Magic Mouse, right? And if you have a desktop Mac, it’s very likely that that’s the only way you can enjoy the greatness of multitouch technology. Still, using a Magic Mouse isn’t like using a multitouch-enabled trackpad. Engadget has received pictures of this new peripheral, which should be announced today and should carry the features of trackpads and Magic mice in a single surface.
So you guys voted for what are only the most badass, flesh eating, insane OS X applications for 2010 in the Ars Technica Design Awards. And if you didn’t, GTFO! Tonight, the results are in, and I bet you can guess which application won, “Best New OS X App.”
When Federico reviewed Appsaurus 1.0, it came with a glowing review. Here you have a service that goes beyond the call of ‘Genius’ through its personal recommendation engine. Appsaurus has seen growth through it’s short lifespan in the App Store, adding features and learning how to make the best recommendations possible. Now, Appsaurus has gotten to be the app recommendation monster; In my eyes, being far more useful than Apple’s own service.
The good folks over at AppAdvice have posted a useful video that rounds up all the rumors we’ve been hearing so far about tomorrow’s WWDC keynote. Safari 5? iPhone HD, 4G or 4? New iPhone OS-based Apple TV?
Check out the video after the break. And in case you don’t know, we’ll be liveblogging the event on MacStories. Just bookmark this page, and come back tomorrow at 9.45 am PT.
