Surprises at WWDC 2014

The big event for Apple developers approaching. Just get a week to start the WWDC 2014, and we are all biting our nails to see the traditional inaugural Keynote in which Apple put its cards on the table for much of the year.

iPhone 6 ... 1704x960 pixels?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

All indications are that the next iPhone 6 will see significant changes in the display. It is speculated by the arrival of two models of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. 

According to 9to5mac, who refer to sources that are testing the new phone, Apple will use a resolution of 1704x960 pixels in their next phone, strange for conventional world but logic within the Apple ecosystem. Keep the same format including iPhone 5 and 5S, which would imply that the adaptation of applications to the new resolution. 

This resolution would be shared with the two phone sizes, 4.7 and 5.5 inches, and would be above 300 dpi that Apple requires to consider a Retina Display screen. They would be 416 and 356 dpi respectively, even above 326 ppi that Apple has been using for the iPhone 4. 

It seems that Apple will raise the screen size of the next iPhone 6, and logic tells us that with this increase will also increase the resolution. These 1704x960 pixels fall within the logic, but of course we have to consider having a lot of speculation. Surely in the next WWDC 2014 (2-6 June) it unveil a new feature of iOS 8, and perhaps also with him some new feature of the iPhone 6 is leaking, hopefully confirming many of the things that have been rumored in the recent months. Maybe some new feature of the iPhone 6 is also leaking in the coming days. 

Reviewing the latest rumors

Remaining 29 days. The countdown has begun

As every week, rumors around the world do not stop Apple. This time the WWDC, leads some issues as the future of their operating systems and devices such as the presentation of a new iPhone. Therefore, most of speculation, leaks and other data that are centered around. 

1. We start with what could be the iPhone 6. According filtered and displayed by our fellow XatakaMovil images, the prototype iPhone 6 would have a 4.7-inch screen and a redesign that does not attract me much personally ... but as it is have to wait a rumor.

A new terminal that should serve to show the industry that Apple has not changed. Although it will not be easy, the other manufacturers are improving and there are other factors such as price or market saturation. Of course, as we discussed at Xataka Movil, the users of the iPhone 4 and 4s could mark the success of the iPhone 6.

2. More rumors about the iPhone 6 come from Macrumors. There show a mockup of the iPhone 6 created from the rumors and known data, comparing to the Samsung Galaxy S5 in size.

3. The next rumor is about the future of Apple headphones. These could incorporate a biometric sensors to measure heart rate and blood pressure. More inclusion of iBeacon to avoid their loss. And watch out, require connection to port Lightning. Something as discussed in Reddit would be the reason for moving the headphone jack on the bottom of the terminal.

4. The camera would also be revamped with better image stabilization system and a sensor with larger pixel size that would provide higher quality and be more luminous.

5. The rumored iWatch is making an appearance and sources said China Times and G for Games, Apple would already have begun to produce their device in small quantities.

6. If future devices are always something like, what software is really all enjoyed. Because in our current or future iPhone, iPad or Mac software is what will make the difference over other options in the market.

I think OS X will be the core of the WWDC 2014 

WWDC 2014 will focus on OS X, with an update that will as important as iOS 6 to  iOS 7. Publications like 9to5mac or Re / code bet on these ideas and discuss further not see any new hardware. In particular no Apple TV or software for it. Therefore, the operating systems are only the protagonists of an event that indeed is about software.

iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 increase its presence in web browsing stats

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

It is just over a month for the celebration of the WWDC 2014. As you all know in the event Apple developers usually present in their keynote the new software and sometimes hardware, as in the case of the first iPhone.

For this edition is expected that the first demo of the new versions of operating systems Cupertino look both iOS 8 and OS X 10.10. Although no official confirmation think we will have some type of presentation with confidence. The reason? Increased browsing devices with these operating systems. As you know each system identifies itself to the browser with version and from Appleinsider have detected a large increase in devices with these new versions.

Although the two systems already surfaced in September 2013, the increase in visits during weekdays seems that Apple is trying to fund their systems these days, which means that almost certainly presented the keynote of 2 June.
