Things that are expected to come out at this year’s conference includes OS X 10.12 [Big Sur?] as well as iOS 10.<\/p>\n

The “kickoff” event where all of the new features and the main keynote for releases is not taking place at Moscone west this year. It is taking place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. All other sessions will be held at the Moscone West Center. The annual WWDC bash will be taking place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium as well.<\/p>\n

Features to OS X could include Siri on the Mac. Since the release of Siri back in 2011 it has been a dream of all Mac users to see the personal assistant implemented on Apple’s desktop operating system. A dedicated music app, and a few other features such as backing up your time machine recovery disks to iCloud are high up on the “likeliness list”.<\/p>\n

iOS 10 could see a new “Rootless” system that is aimed at prevented even adminstrator level users from gaining access to certain file systems on the iPhone, iPad, or even Mac, but is expected to be able to disabled on OS X. It could make jailbreaking in the future a challenge for those of you who do. A new app on the home screen [great] could be the “Home” app. This would make all of your home automation appliances (The Internet of Things) through Apple’s HomeKit would be able to controlled from one app instead of separate apps such as “ADT” for your home alarm or “Wemo” for your light switches and outlets.<\/p>\n

Not a lot is known about other things, and we will continue to look at the rumour mills.<\/p>\n
