Yo, guys, Jonathan here.
Today we are talking WWDC 2018,
which is slated for June 4th.
I'll actually be there, so for official coverage,
and hopefully if they announce something cool a hands-on,
definitely stay peeled to the channel.
But today, we are talking what to expect
and also gonna combine that with a little bit
of a wish list of things that maybe aren't so concrete
but I am definitely hoping for.
So, number one, WWDC stands for
World Wide Developers Conference,
so we know typically with these,
they're centered around software,
so iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS,
we can all expect updates there.
But with those, the number one thing
that I'm hoping that comes out of this
is an improvement to Siri because right now,
Siri's not looking too hot.
- Siri...
is...
dead.
(powering down noise)
- Now, in the midst of all this,
especially with Google making huge improvements
to Google Assistant, making Siri look
more and more inferior by the day,
one thing that I forgot about is earlier this year,
Apple actually grabbed Google's former
Chief of Artificial Intelligence,
which is a huge move so I'm hoping
Apple's been keeping it quiet, on the DL.
- Pfft, no doubt.
- Making some tweaks and improvements to Siri
that we will hopefully see debut at WWDC.
Honestly, it would be a total waste
if Apple made that kind of move
with that kind of intelligence
with that kind of power and not utilize it for Siri
because as bad as Siri is,
it's honestly what has made HomePod so unpopular.
There have been rumors of a smaller HomePod
coming out later this year.
I wouldn't expect that at WWDC
because, honestly, none of that matters
unless they fix Siri first.
So hopefully with that giant move,
with the Chief of AI from Google,
Apple makes those moves and improves Siri
because it is desperately needed.
Next up on number two are new MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
Yes, please.
Now, what's cool is we should finally see
some sort of uniformity as far as
MacBook Airs and 12-inch MacBooks go.
The MacBook Air currently,
it's a little bit of a weird product.
So it is desperate need of an update,
but what I am most excited for are the MacBook Pros.
I did a video earlier this year talking about what to expect
but the gist of that, or maybe the highlight from there
is that we're gonna finally see quad core.
13-inch MacBook Pros, then it gets better.
Six-core 15-inch MacBook Pros, which sounds amazing.
Now that video was primarily focused on hardware
and what's gonna be inside these upcoming MacBook Pros,
but as far as design goes,
I wouldn't expect a drastic overhaul.
But that one thing that I'm hoping for
is a refresh or actually a slim down of those bezels,
drop a like if you agree,
because to me, the MacBook Pro is starting to look
a little bit dated.
Here are a few renders of what the MacBook Pro
could potentially look like with those smaller bezels.
And, yes, Apple, please do this.
Other than that, the only other thing I could hope
or wish for with these new MacBook Pros
that I don't think is gonna happen
is the return of the SD card slot.
I've embraced USB-C with cables, with SSDs, but
I always find myself needing an SD card slot.
That is the one thing that I have to
still go reach for a dongle for.
And if I forget that, it is a giant pain in the butt.
So again, Apple, please bring that SD card slot back.
Next up for number three is the iPhone SE 2,
and I wouldn't bank on it happening for sure at WWDC,
but I think there's a really good chance
that we see it there.
There's been some speculation and some rumors
of a completely redesigned iPhone X-like SE 2
with a redesigned screen, with a notch.
Honestly, I don't think that's gonna happen.
I would expect more of a similar design
in terms of the body, the screen.
Where we see the big changes, though,
are gonna be in the internals.
Inside, we should expect to see Apple's A10 processor,
two gigabytes of RAM, and storage capacities
up to 128 gigabytes.
Now, the one rumor that's kind of up in the air right now
is a glass back which would enable wireless charging.
I wouldn't bank on it like the other rumors.
But, again, that would make sense
with Apple's current lineup.
The iPhone 8, the 8+, and the iPhone X
all have wireless charging,
so it would make sense to have the iPhone SE 2
have that as well.
Now I know a ton of you out there are probably thinking
why would Apple wanna update the iPhone SE?
Why would anyone want a phone that small?
But there are a ton of people who do like that style,
who like that screen size, and don't wanna give it up.
So if you're one of those out there,
let me know with a comment down below.
Now, the fourth thing that I would love to see at WWDC
are updates to the iPad Pro.
And, yes, we know.
Apple's going to make it exponentially a billion times
amazingly faster than the previous iPad Pro.
But the two things I would love to see are
one, face ID that we saw on the iPhone X.
I think that would make a lot of sense with the iPad Pro
especially with how much you browse
and buy things with your iPad Pro.
That would be perfect.
And then from there,
the other thing that I would love to see
much like the MacBook Pro wish,
are improved or rather slimmed down bezels
because that iPad is looking a little bit aged.
We are blessed with beautiful renders all over the internet.
So if Apple could make this even remotely look
a little bit like these, that would be amazing.
For me, I've kind of always preferred laptops over tablets.
So if I had my choice, I would go MacBook over iPad.
But I do appreciate an iPad when you're traveling,
on a plane, when you need that longer battery life.
When you're consuming media, it's awesome.
The one thing is, I never really complained about speed.
It's always been super fast.
So, again, not super looking forward to speed improvements,
although it's welcomed.
I am most looking forward to thinner bezels.
And, again, I think face ID would make absolute sense
with the new iPad Pros.
Now, before I move on to number five,
I wanna give a huge shout out to today's sponsor, hims.
This one is for my dudes out there.
Hims exists to let you know
if you're having problems with your hair, with your skin,
with your--
(doinking noise)
That's not weird.
What's weird is not addressing it.
Through hims, you'll get personalized recommendations
for prescription and non-prescription products
based on the advice of a real doctor.
I totally get it, whether it's your hair,
whether it's in bed,
you wanna be the best version of yourself.
And if you run into roadblocks,
one, it's not easy to talk about.
Two, the last thing you want to do is
go out into the world and deal with that.
So with hims, you can do that
without ever leaving your home.
If you didn't know, 66% of men are affected by hair loss
by age 35, which is crazy.
That tells me two things, though.
One, it is totally normal.
But more importantly, it is treatable.
So hims gives you a virtual visit with a licensed doctor,
and TLD viewers, head over to forhims.com/tld
and you can get a one-month trial of their rx hair kit
for five freaking bucks.
Again, forhims.com/tld.
It's supports the show, you get a great deal.
Make sure you guys check out the link below.
So, last up on our five is probably
the magical unicorn wish on this list
that I wouldn't hold my breath for, but would love to see.
And that's an update or at least some information
on the new Mac Pro.
Now, before one of you out there yells at me and says,
Jonathan, why are you talking about the Mac Pro?
It has been confirmed by Apple
that we're not gonna see it until 2019.
Yes, I realize that, but at the same time,
2019 is a long ways away.
So hopefully, Apple creates some hype, they tease it.
At least show us what it might look like, some modularity.
Hopefully, we'll see an improved display.
Again, this is probably the most out-there wish on my list,
but again, this is the point of a wishlist.
Things you want to see.
And I would love to see some sort of tease
on the new 2019 Mac Pro.
But you guys, let me know.
What do you guys want to see?
What are you expecting?
What are you hoping for?
What do you not want to see at WWDC?
Leave me a comment down below.
Again, I'll have some coverage in the near future.
Stay tuned.
This is Jonathan, and I will catch you guys later.
