I imagine Apple has a little more than that planned – multi-function bands, perhaps? MapKitĪpple’s decision to embed a Maps image on the page announcing the event suggests it will at last open Maps up to its developer community, most likely by introducing an official MapKit API. I’d like to see it gain its own independent processor and embedded Apple SIM but most people only predict a thinner model and customized watch faces. Apple WatchĪpple Watch is even mentioned in the invite, “Hello yogi on my wrist,…Hello double tap heart…” Quanta Chairman Barry Lam told us to expect a new Watch model by the end of Q2.

Apple’s reference to “Hello” – the first thing we ever saw a Mac say – promises a “big idea” and I think Proactive will be part of that big idea. You may not have made too much use of Proactive, but if you open an email on an iPhone and tell Siri “remind me about this” you used it then. Where there’s Siri there is also Proactive and everything about the invite screams improvements in Apple’s developing contextually intelligent assistant.
This will extend from Proactive and all the way into new classes of AI. The move to announce the event through Siri underlines just how important it is becoming to Apple’s future plans. When did you last see that? Is Apple about to put AI inside its operating systems? Are Macs about to become truly "smart"? Cars? Infrastructure? Drones? Apple's WWDC pages makes a lot of use of the word “Hello”.
Apple is likely asking where else an OS based on OS X can be deployed. However, the focus has shifted somewhat – while OS X was once all about the Mac, the OS is now a core product on which all Apple’s other products are derived: Mac, Watch, iPhone, iPad and TV. Claims the company plans to rebrand it as macOS suggests the company has big plans to craft its operating system for the next decade. Thirteen editions in over 15 years since launch in 2001, Apple is likely to be setting the scene for the next big improvements in the OS that underpins all its efforts.
I also anticipate further extension and improvements to Apple’s Continuity and Handoff solutions - Apple is doing all it can to make the process of dancing between its different devices as stress-free, consistent and intuitive as possible.
