APPLE CEO Tim Cook is expected to present new software for iPhone and updated Mac computers. On Monday, he'll be attending the annual conference for software developers, where he'll be providing more information on future releases of MAC products/software.
Last week, the announcement of new software for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch was confirmed by protestors that appeared at the Moscone conference center in San Francisco, reading "iOS 6." Many are not surprised that Apple has used its Worldwide Developers Conference as an opportunity to announce their new iPhone software, they've worked on for the past few years.
It is unknown to what new features will come with the iOS 6, or when it will be released to consumers. The new software usually becomes available for download around the time a new iPhone model appears on the market. Apple-users are expecting the next version of the iPhone to be the 'iPhone 5', expected to appear this Autumn, a year after the launch of the 4s model.
Last year with the launch of iOS 5, Apple added many features which were already found in competing smartphone software. Adding the virtual assistant feature 'Siri', which interprets voice commands/prompts and uses speech when communicating with the user.
In 2012, fewer features were added, most Apple users are expecting more modest improvements in the next version.
Apple incorporated the Twitter sharing function, being able to tweet from Apple's applications. Their next speculated venture is to integrate with Facebook, being able to update your status from Apple applications.
In February, Apple demonstrated majority of the features of OS X 10.8 'Mountain Lion' and is due to be sold late this summer. Developers are already able to download a version of the software. Narrowing the gap between the PC and phone software packages, Apple is making Mac personal computers work more like iPhones.
Apple's top competitor 'Microsoft' is expected to release Windows 8, later this year. New MAC models are also expected to be announced, although they have not had any major processing updates in a year. Unlike Intel, who has just updated its processor line with faster, less power-hungry chips.
Mystery still surrounds the new 'Apple Tv' and what exactly is their main idea for it. Some have speculated that the next step could involve the integration of all of their current products: iPod, iPhone, iPad, MAC and Apple Tv. There are many possibilities to what could be created from all of these products, but it would be the next step in technology's evolution.
