Last year\u2019s event<\/a> saw the announcement of iOS 11 which gave Siri get a much-needed update; as well as the Apple HomePod, iMac Pro and 10.5\u201d\u009d iPad Pro being revealed. So, what are we expecting the outcome to be from WWDC 2018?<\/p>\n
\niPhone SE 2<\/h3>\n
It is widely thought that one of the iPhones to be unveiled this year is an updated version of the iPhone SE. Compared to the likes of the 7, 8 and X models, the SE is tiny. The SE\u2019s display is just four inches \u201d\u201c the iPhone X\u2019s display is 5.8\u201d\u009d \u201d\u201c and it uses the A9 chip which has become dated. The memory options for the SE go up to 128GB but this is dwarfed by the current option of 256GB for the 8, 8 Plus and X. Physically smaller phones aren\u2019t completely undesirable so if the SE does get a facelift, it\u2019s likely to stay around the same size.<\/p>\n
\nTwo more new models<\/h3>\n
Last September, Apple announced the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X models. Many are expecting a similar pattern to occur this year; alongside the updated SE model, two more to be announced \u201d\u201c potentially an iPhone model and a Plus version. Names and details are just speculation at the moment but there may be an update on the flagship X model \u201d\u201c maybe making it bigger to give the world the iPhone X Plus. There are whispers that the iPhone X model may be discontinued, just one year after launch but there isn\u2019t enough solid evidence behind this.<\/p>\n
\niPad Pro<\/h3>\n
With the 10.5\u201d\u009d iPad Pro being announced at last year\u2019s WWDC, could we see another iPad Pro announcement today? Possibly. The 9.7\u201d\u009d iPad was announced earlier this year \u201d\u201c with prices starting at \u00a3319 \u201d\u201c with a focus on those in school and college. A new iPad Pro could use the Face ID technology seen on the iPhone X and we could see the screen size go up to 11\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n
\nMacBook Air and Pro<\/h3>\n
There are eyes on the MacBook Air model and whether it will be updated. An announcement may take place at WWDC, with rumours circulating that a cheaper model could be in the works. It is thought there will be a 13\u201d\u009d model unveiled which will cost less than \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n
The MacBook Pro could be updated too. Customers have openly expressed their disappointment with the keyboard redesign of the 2016 MacBook Pro which saw the keyboard be affected by the tiniest specs of dust. Plenty of users took trips to the Genius bar for a solution so this issue will hopefully be straightened out with the newest model. It\u2019s thought that users are after more memory and a longer battery life but there is little to suggest either will happen.<\/p>\n
\niOS 12<\/h3>\n
One of the major announcements expected tonight is of the newest version of mobile OS. iOS 12 is thought to be unveiled at WWDC with a public roll out in September (similar to last year). The update is thought to focus on stability and performance. Although nothing is certain, it\u2019s believed it may bring Face ID to iPad, parental controls will come into play and Augmented Reality features will become available.<\/p>\n
