The popular iOS 8 only came out 9 months ago and, given how much of an overhaul that was, Apple are unlikely to change it entirely. Most of the changes will focus on stability and ironing out iOS 8\u2019s bugs.<\/p>\n<p>There will be new features, though. Rumoured additions include improved parental controls, split-screen multi-tasking, public transport info in Apple Maps and a Google Now-style makeover for Siri.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 9 is expected to launch in September.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"2\"><b>New OS X<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>As well as refreshing iOS, Apple are likely to give their Mac operating system a makeover too.<\/p>\n<p>OS X 10.11 (it\u2019ll have a catchier name, don\u2019t worry) is likely to focus on stability and performance improvements rather than major upheavals, although it\u2019s rumoured that Apple will introduce an iOS-style control centre.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"3\"><b>Apple TV<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There are a number of signs Apple will release a new version of Apple TV at WWDC this year: Google and Amazon\u2019s success in the TV streaming market, the lack of updates for over 2 years and the suspiciously Apple TV-shaped splash image on the official invite.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WWDC.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4266\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WWDC.png\" alt=\"WWDC\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WWDC.png 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WWDC-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More excitingly, Apple may be launching their own streaming service to rival Netflix. Don\u2019t get your hopes up too much though; apparently Apple haven\u2019t finished negotiating with broadcasters and the service is unlikely to hit the UK for a while yet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"4\"><b>Apple Music <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Apple\u2019s music streaming service has been in the works since they acquired Beats, and it could be unveiled at WWDC 2015.<\/p>\n<p>With so much competition, including Spotify and Jay Z\u2019s Tidal, Apple face an uphill struggle to win subscribers. If the service is cheaper than Spotify and features exclusive content, as has been rumoured, it might stand a fighting chance.<\/p>\n<p>We should also hear more about Apple\u2019s plans for iTunes Radio. After snagging Zane Lowe from Radio 1, Apple are allegedly planning to recruit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2015\/5\/31\/8694585\/drake-david-guetta-pharrell-itunes-radio-guest-DJ\">Drake and Pharrell Williams to their roster of superstar DJs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"5\"><b>iPad Pro<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The long-rumoured iPad Pro was expected to launch last year but never materialised. However, with Microsoft\u2019s Surface Pro tablet proving so popular, Apple might not want to wait until October (the traditional month for new iPad products) to launch their enterprise model. The iPad Pro would be the perfect device to demonstrate iOS 9\u2019s rumoured multitasking features on too.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro is rumoured to have the largest iPad screen to date &#8211; at least 12 inches &#8211; and a stylus. It will focus on productivity and work, although it should retain the functionality of the standard iPad too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"6\"><b>The Apple Car<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>According to industry chatter, Apple have been working on a car for a while now. Unfortunately, we know next to nothing about it; the project is taking place at a secret location and the few details that have been leaked are contradictory.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely that Apple will unveil a car at WWDC 2015 (it\u2019s a product worthy of its own event, after all) but fingers crossed, eh?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"7\"><b>No new iPhone<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The last iPhone launched at WWDC was the iPhone 4 back in 2010. Since then, every iPhone has been launched at its own event, usually in September.<\/p>\n<p>Given how well the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are still doing, it\u2019d be a massive surprise if Apple decided to unveil the iPhone 6S or iPhone 7 so soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"8\"><b>A lot of stuff none of us understand<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>WWDC is, as the name suggests, aimed primarily at developers. For those of us who aren\u2019t familiar with coding, most of it will be confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, for example, they launched something called Swift, a new programming language that forms the basis of iOS and OS X. We have no idea what it is or how it powers our phone, but hey &#8211; \u00a0as long as it works!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><a title=\"Sell your Apple devices\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/sell-tech\/sell-apple-goods\/\">Sell your Apple devices<\/a> with musicMagpie in time for an upgrade!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 8th June, Apple will hold their annual World Wide Developer\u2019s Conference.
