Apple Was Wrong: WWDC 2024 and iPhone 16!

Apple finally admits they were

wrong

and makes big changes to the next iPhone to make it better than ever and admits they just couldn't do it on their own. Apple's first event of the year, WWDC, is finally confirmed and we. We have some brand new leaks about iOS 18 Vision OS 2 and a lot of big features that Apple fans have been asking for for years that are finally coming, so let me break down what we know about WWDC Apple's first big event of the year. We'll see what we won't see and why I have to admit that the Android Fanboys were right all along.

I feel like in a typical year the Apple developer conference in June isn't really the most exciting thing for most people, I mean if you're a developer you can dive into the sessions and resources and that's all well and good. , but for us regular consumers it's not very exciting, we usually like the spring event and the fall event and whatnot, but in

2024

this is basically all we have and it's exciting for two main reasons: one is that there hasn't been any other event so we're all clamoring for an Apple event so this is all we have and the second reason is that um.

According to leaks, rumors, and everything we're hearing right now, the software updates we'll see at this year's wbdc are expected to be pretty significant, and in fact, they could be the biggest updates we've ever seen. based on summer reports, basically, but before we get to what we'll see, let me take a moment and tell you what we won't see at that June event and talk about a couple of Big Apple products that are coming that won't be available at that event, for example, new. OLED iPads iPad Pros Bigger, cheaper iPad Air That's all super exciting and it won't be a WWDC, but it won't be there for a good reason because it should launch before that event happens in June, according to the latest rounds of leaks and rumors . and Mark Gman's report in Bloomberg looks like, after many delays, May, early May, hopefully, will be the timeline now that we'll finally have some new iPads.

Apple hasn't updated any iPads in the lineup for over a year. I mean I think it's been the longest since any iPad has an update that should finally stop in May where we'll get new iPad Pros and the new iPad Air launching before WWDC so there will be no iPads in the WWDC, but that's it. something good, not bad, the second thing we probably won't see is the iPhone 16, we have some brand new dummy units of the iPhone 16, we have some new leaks that talk about thinner bezels and big updates and improvements and colors The iPhone 16 will It's shaping up to be pretty exciting, but Apple is still hosting its fall event for a reason, don't get your hopes up because we won't be getting the iPhone 16 early, there's no preview, as fun as it may be.

I'll get some software stuff that I'll talk about in a moment that will be relevant to the iPhone 16, but there likely won't be any iPhone hardware announcements coming, although there is one exception, but we'll come back to that later and a couple more . The products that will be updated in

2024

are a pair of new Airpods Air ODS Max models. An update is long overdue. We're hearing new colors and a USBC Porter in the works, uh, but it probably won't happen at WWC, maybe we can see that. them, but probably not also the airpods light, every day we get more rumors that Apple is ready to release a new version of airpods lower cost and under $100, eh, but again, this is more of a consumer product and it is more of a developer event so Apple can do it, but they usually make airpods announcements in the fall, so while these new airpods are coming this year, you probably won't see them this summer, but that doesn't mean all the hardware is off the table for this June because As we've seen time and time again, Apple has given us some new products at this WWDC event.

I mean, last year we got Vision Pro. Can you believe it's been a year? It's a good or bad thing, anyway, a couple of products. What we were able to see at this event basically includes a lot of new Macs and it will basically be all the Macs that are not on the M3 architecture at the moment, so it would be Mac, Mac Studio and Mac Pro, okay, but I have to stop me now and address the opening statement in this video where Apple admitted they were

wrong

, what do I mean by this? Well, what I mean by this is kind of context for what's coming next and iOS 18 is expected to be not just one of the stars of the show at Apple's WWDC event, but we're hearing right now that this could Being one of, if not the most important iPhone software updates, it seems like Apple is basically going back to the drawing boards for iOS 18, isn't it.

They will only give us a new design, but they will fix many of the fundamental problems that iOS has had for years, such as not being as customizable or accessible as some users would like, and also fix many of the major problems. that have persisted on the iPhone for years, one of the biggest being Siri, launched by Apple in 2011. Siri was at its peak, a really cool virtual assistant that seemed very promising, but time and time again Siri has become more and more dumber. and not only did the competition beat Apple on Siri years ago, but every couple of years it seemed like clockwork, an Apple executive would come out on stage and tell a couple jokes about how you know, sir, you could use some improvement, but this was the year.

It was better, smarter and would have more features and, um, that never happened every year without fail. Apple promised a better Siri, but we never got a better Siri and, um, Android fans rightfully made fun of us for years because Siri sucked and it still sucks, but all that will finally change this year, not because Apple cracked the code to Even though they spent billions and billions of dollars supposedly trying to fix their own internal AI and improve it, but because they finally admitted defeat and are Going to the competition, Google opens up Ai and others and tries to find a way to reach a deal so they can license their intelligence and AI prowess and bring it to the iPhone and other products specifically starting with iOS 18, which seems to be the knockout. we'll be bringing some AI improvements and enhancements and new AI features to our devices again, apparently it's a big part of what Apple is doing with iOS 18, not only does it have a redesigned interface and some sort of vision as a design language that should be new and exciting and fresh, but it's also supposed to have a lot of AI stuff built into it, we don't know, but the AI ​​is included and hopefully it will be powered by a much better brain and, um, not by Siri and Of course, iOS. 18 will probably be the star of the show, we'll see other software updates at WWDC and we also have what this is.

It's a long list TV OS see OS iPad OS Mac OS Vision OS 2.0 will also be here and we haven't heard anything significant about any of those software updates, iOS 18 is getting all the news and rumors right now, so if It is well expected that all of this will probably not be as significant as in previous years, since iOS 18 is apparently taking a lot. from the power of the brain and the power of development, this year, although it will be interesting to see what Vision OS 2.0 brings, hopefully Apple can fix some of the problems with 1.0, add some new features and it will be interesting to see how the software goes. to improve Vision Pro as it matures in its lifecycle, as new hardware isn't expected for quite some time, so having that new software should add some new features, make it better, and maybe convince some hesitant people for them to join. on trision Pro as the software experience should be more refined with version 2.0 available later in a couple of months, basically this summer and probably a larger release this fall.

Finally, let's talk for a moment about some wild cards that we could see as the big surprise announcement. or one more thing at Apple's wwc event, well we know the Apple Car was cancelled, so it's totally out of the question, we'll probably never see it again, although we hear Apple is working on robots apparently now, which seems like a Really strange transition, isn't it? Amazon is making home robots and they suck, that seems like a strange rumor. We've heard that Apple might be working on some improved displays, so the new studio display, the new Pro xdr display isn't very exciting for a lot of people, but it is. in that market, that could be something we potentially see, although rumors about it have been pretty thin on the ground for a while, although I will mention one thing I wouldn't take off the table that we could see this year, maybe even as soon as June is A The new iPhone SE, specifically this new updated iPhone se4 which is supposed to be the best budget iPhone Apple has ever made, will have an iPhone 14 design and will have a 6.1-inch OLED display.

Touch ID is outside Face ID is on the action button USBC port 48 megapixel camera, some great colors, this is shaping up to be a really exciting iPhone and while most rumors say I should in all honesty say it's probably Whether the year 2025 is released, we have seen an increase in rumors and even supposed fictional models and such. types of prototypes of this iPhone, which makes me think that maybe it's coming sooner rather than later, this is definitely a wild card, I'm not going to say it's going to happen or not, but I will say that it seems to be a pretty exciting update and it could be It's kind of a nice surprise that Apple gives us at this June event specifically because this phone usually launches in the spring.

I think in recent years it's been a spring release that's not usually tied to fall, so maybe we'll see something, maybe we won't, but we'll just throw it in as my prediction more as something I'd like to see as always. I want to know your opinion on this. What do you think about Apple admitting defeat with Siri? Is it better that they are doing this? It is worse? Would it be okay if you gave up a little bit of Apple privacy to have a better AI chatbot, whatever you want to call it, experience and have better features on your phone?

Of course, I'm sure Apple will take security measures. as a primary feature, but it should be interesting to see how it develops, so let me know your thoughts below on what you'd like to see at WWDC as always. I appreciate you seeing me. Thank you very much for your support. I'm Robert. Rosenfeld from Apple Circle and see you next time
