Apple Developer Conference To Showcase Several Software And Hardware Changes

UPDATE: Apple Inc.’s developer conference begins Monday, and the hardware and software giant is expected to make several major announcements.

Among the biggest: iTunes is expected to be replaced. The two-decades-old service is reportedly being replaced by a trio of new apps for the Mac – Music, TV, and Podcasts. No word is out yet on what happens to the iTunes Store.

CEO Tim Cook will keynote the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California.

Also anticipated is a new push to make the iPad a more functional replacement for the laptop computer. New home screen enhancements and the ability to use multiple apps at once are among the expected features.

The changes being announced will showcase Apple’s new generation of devices and software: Apple Watches that are more independent from iPhones, iPads with software that reduces the need for a laptop, apps that run on any Apple device, and growth areas such as augmented reality.

@mayer - The biggest piece of news which was expected is the new Mac Pro. All I can say is…

WOW!! It’s in the clouds not only on what it can do but the cost as well!

Now the ultra high end is served with this beast, will Apple come out with something more “For the Rest of Us”?

The display likewise is quite amazing too! But again a coder or even a low end photographer doesn’t need this level of performance. Yes, I love the size… And no I won’t buy a $999 stand for it.

I too was laughing when she dropped the price for what it is it shouldn’t have been more than $300 and gold plated! All it is is the old G5 Luxor arm redone to support the added weight of this display.

@danj I to too was blown away with the new MacPro and the monitor.

But $5000 for a monitor and a $1000 for a monitor stand is beyond my means nowadays.

The low end price for the Pro is $6000 for the entry level. No telling what that 24 core with 1.5 TB of RAM would run. My guess for a loaded machine would be in the $20,000 to $25,000 range.

I think if I need an upgrade for my old Mac Pro I'll be buying a couple of new CPUs.

I also did not buy the $10,000 gold iWatch (wonder what people do when the guts become obsolete?

@mayer - I thought you won the PowerBall this week ;-}

Not in my budget either, I still have my Trash Can! Which will need to hold me for now until I win the big bucks in Mega Millions!

I do hope Apple realizes there's a market in-between the iMac Pro and this beast!

As of late, it seems Apple swings hard going low with under sizing and low balling the design & build (current MacBook Pro's) or going to the clouds with the Mac Pro!

I keep thinking the story: Goldilocks and the Three Bears where Goldilocks was not satisfied by the too small and the too big. I think Tim needs to read it again ;-}
