- Guys. I'm so excited, I'm going to WWDC!
And of course the first thing that I do when I find out
is turn my camera on and make a video about it
because that's what I do and I'm so freaking excited
that I don't know who else to share it with.
Other than you guys because I don't know anybody else
that would be as excited as I am about this.
And I got an invite to the keynote.
So you can imagine my excitement.
I wish I was filming when I got the email.
I guess I could do like a really poor reenactment.
(exaggerated gasp)
With that being said, I had a few thoughts.
What Apple Watch band will I wear?
Always a favorite.
What will my iPhone wear?
(sighs)
What will I wear?
Subtle?
It'll be taking place on June 4th
and the Keynote starts around 10 AM.
They are streaming the Keynote
and I know that's not really that big of news,
but sometimes Apple is known to not stream them so.
You never know what to expect with Apple.
So they will be live-streaming it but I will also
be there inside of the Keynote.
I will be live tweeting and I don't know
if I will be live-steaming but
I will be posting Instagram stories like a crazy person.
So if you're not following me on Twitter
and Instagram make sure you guys do so.
And if you're not subscribed to my YouTube channel,
make sure you do that as well.
Don't forget to hit the bell,
because then you'll be notified when I post a new video.
Well now that all the shameless
self promotion is out of the way,
let's take a look at what people are talking about.
Some predictions, some rumors, what will be here at WWDC?
So here's the official WWDC invite.
Usually sometimes these invites will give away
a little bit of a secret or info
to something they're going to be revealing.
But looking at this, I'm not sure.
They've got a lot of plus and minuses.
A lot of buttons, a lot of switches, and a lot of toggles.
What does it mean?
So let's take a look and see what some
other outlets are predicting.
9to5Mac and MacRumors are my two go-tos.
iOS 12, MacOS 10.4 unveil expected.
Now because this is a developer conference
obviously they do focus a lot on software.
Normally after the conference or the Keynote
they start rolling up beta versions
of whatever it is that they talked about.
So here they are mentioning iOS 12,
MacOS10.4, tvOS 12, watchOS 5,
and possibly improvements to Siri and the HomePod.
There are also some things that I read
about potential mini HomePods.
I think it was rumored that Apple had sold
over 600,000 HomePods, which is not an astonishing number.
And then I kept getting tweets in response
to one of those articles that was written,
that I bought them all. Which is probably
not too far from the truth.
I'm a huge HomePod fan. I love it.
It has pretty much replaced
most of my voice interactions with my house.
I still have Alexa, I don't typic
- [Alexa] Failed to connect with Amazon. Please configure
your Amazon account. - okay.
- So basically the voice hierarchy in my house is:
the HomePod, and then "A"
And I actually have a ton of Alexa powered devices
all through out my house.
I have an Echo Spot up here on my desk,
I also have a light that is Alexa Powered.
I have the Echo Show downstairs in my kitchen.
I do really love the Echo a lot.
But since the release of the HomePod,
that's pretty much what I'm using to control my lights,
to play my music, and just have conversations
with Siri way too often.
I am excited to see what they're doing with tvOS
because Apple is planning on having a bunch
of new programming coming out, I'm assuming in 2019.
That's what some of the articles that I've read have said.
So I'm sure they probably will be mentioning
some of those shows that they're working on at WWDC.
So I look forward to seeing what they're working on
because if I could get a show on Apple TV,
It would be my dream.
Ooh, Apple is teasing a smarter Siri
with a new voice to show off at WWDC.
So here's the thing, everyone was posting
these screenshots of Siri saying stuff about her
having a new voice, but my Siri does not say that.
What can we expect at WWDC this year?
- Apple's 2018 world wide developers conference
will be held in the McEnery Convention Center
in San Jose, California from June 4th through June 8th.
- Yes.
They have screenshots of Siri saying
"I don't want to brag, but I'm getting
a lot smarter, it must be all the
late night studying I've been doing"
There's another one that says
"lalala, Siri is getting a brand new voice."
Oh, this would be interesting.
Maybe Siri specifically isn't getting a new voice,
maybe because like Google had John Legend
read a voice, maybe there's gonna be
a celebrity cameo Siri voice selection?
Who would be the the cool oh wow, wow.
This could be interesting.
I mean I used to have the Australian Siri Male,
but then I just went back to basic Siri.
If there was one celebrity, or anybody that Apple
could get to be Siri, who would it be?
Leave me some comments below.
I would love to hear your answers.
So here's an update to the Siri new voice responses,
and it looks like those were from WWDC 2017.
Which I kind of thought because there was one response
too that mentioned that she was getting a new home.
So obviously that was referring to the HomePod.
When Google showed off the personal assistant
when it called to schedule a haircut.
I don't know if you guys saw this but
it was at google i/o.
- [Google] Hi, I'm calling to book
a women's haircut for a client.
Um, I'm looking for something on May 3rd.
- [hairstylist] Sure, give me one second.
- At what point is it unethical to not
tell someone that you're talking to a robot?
I don't know. But I feel like
I'm sort of okay with it, but maybe I'm not the majority.
All I know is that if I have a robot making my appointments
and planning my day, and scheduling my life.
Where do I sign up?
HomePod Mini would be a tough pill for beats to swallow.
I mean if I had to guess, I just can't really imagine
them launching a HomePod Mini when
the first HomePod didn't do as well as expected.
I feel like as soon as Siri gets smarter
As soon as the latest release of AirPlay 2 is out
when you can actually control all of your HomePods
then maybe.
I just don't think announcing a smaller version
of the HomePod is the right way to go.
But if it is a lower price point then that
could make a little bit more sense.
Because obviously the HomePod was a little bit more
on the pricey side, especially when you're
comparing it to other things on the market.
So if they did release a smaller, less expensive HomePod
then would you guys maybe potentially
be convinced to get it?
You don't have to ask me because you already know my answer.
Here on MacRumors, which is still
one of my favorite places to go for Apple News.
Here is an iOS wish list that they have created.
I think one of the things that they really need
to focus on in iOS 12 is make it more stable.
I know I have had a lot off issues with iOS 11
from it just crashing, or apps not working properly.
Granted I am in the beta program so a lot of the builds
that I have are not actually released to the public.
But, with that being said, I do hope that 12
will become much more reliable.
User interface changes, dark mode,
split screen mode for iPhone, more customization.
Desktop mode, volume redesign.
That's interesting, what do you mean by that?
A new less intrusive volume interface.
That actually makes sense because
the volume screen does take up pretty much
the entire screen real estate.
No more shake to undo? You guys don't want shake to undo?
I do accidentally activate it sometimes as well but
I really like shake to undo.
Or do I not? I'm not sure. I think that I like it.
Maybe I'm just used to it.
App improvements, camera controls in the camera app.
Aspect ratio face time.
App Store wishlists.
Photo improvements, music app overhaul. Search and archive.
It really is a struggle trying to search iMessage.
Anytime I'm looking for something,
trying to search is usually a nightmare.
Mouse support on iPad would be very interesting.
Revamped Wi-Fi and bluetooth, do not disturb improvements.
Biometric locking for specific apps. That's pretty cool.
Being able to add sort of second layer security
to specific apps? That's something I'm into.
Always-on display for iPhone.
Although I do feel like just doing a simple tap,
I can get access to my phone, I can see
notifications and things like that.
I will say though that on some other android phones
that I've been testing out, I have really
enjoyed the always on display.
Although I do kinda think it's not 100% necessary.
I mean I would like it but if it kills my battery,
I definitely don't want that.
Siri improvements. We definitely need that.
Apple is said to be planning to address
stability and performance concerns in this update.
That's much needed.
Apple is rumored to be working on an updated iPad pro
that features an iPhone x-style edge to edge display
and no home button and support for face ID.
Even though I don't really use my iPad that often,
that just sounds really beautiful.
Because having this edge to edge display
just really has changed the whole look of my phone.
It's basically changed the look of phones in general
so that's kind of really the standard now.
Apple often refreshed Macs, the iMac,
MacBook Pro, and MacBook are all awaiting 2018 refreshes.
My computer is loud because I'm capturing my screen
at the same time and everything is saving.
So I'm just gonna set this off to the side.
Pooki let's go see everybody. Let's go see our friends.
Say hi to everybody. Say hi. Say hi.
Hi guys, this is my dog, Matty,
he just wanted to come say hi.
You don't have to be scared, you're just on a desk.
Here, sit down.
Do you hate it?
Here sit. Here. Sit down, honey. Sit down.
Hi. Welcome to my unboxing desk, Matty.
Guys this is Matty.
(laughter)
Buddy say hi to everybody.
I think
I think he hates it.
Do you want me to put you down? Here.
Come here. I got you, bud. Here. There you go.
Put that leggy. There we go. Okay.
Let's go, I'll slide you off to the side.
It's okay, I got you, bud. Okay.
(laughs) he's looking at me like "Why did you do that?"
So who knows what Apple actually has planned but
you guys can stay tuned here
to my YouTube channel, Twitter, Instagram
because I will be posting pretty much
nonstop from the event.
You guys wanna leave me some comments below
and let me know what you're expecting,
what are you looking forward to?
What is the one thing that you most
are looking forward to them potentially announcing?
I will see you guys in my next video.
Thanks so much for watching. I'll see you later.
Bye!
I gotta go take my dog for a walk now
that I upset him by putting him on a desk.
(upbeat music)
