Already this evening of our time, Apple will present new products. The traditional keynote at WWDC is a closely watched event after long months of drought, and not a day goes by without speculation about what Tim Cook and company have in store for us. prepared However, the weeks of speculation have flown by and we have virtually no idea what Apple has up its sleeve.

To put everything into perspective. The new MacBook Air series is already being talked about with certainty, but it is not too difficult to guess what functions they will boast. Rather, only a transformation of the insides is expected, from an overall point of view it should not be anything revolutionary.

However, the situation is completely different with software. The main attraction at WWDC, as it is a developer conference, are new versions of operating systems. Apple will show both - OS X 10.9 and iOS 7. And no one knows what to expect. After all the speculation and "guaranteed" news about what iOS 7 will look like in particular, we can only be sure that Jony Ive was involved in the development of the new version of the operating system for iPhone and iPad. After all, this is also the only information confirmed by Apple CEO Tim Cook.

It seems he meant it when he told Walt Mossberg at D10 last year how Apple was poised to increase its emphasis on secrecy after a series of leaks about upcoming products. Not a single image of new versions of operating systems has escaped from Apple's laboratories. In addition, the Californian company is fiercely hiding not only the new mobile system this year, but also OS X, under the cover of which it let users peek a year ago several months before the presentation itself.

Jony Ive started software development three-quarters of a year ago, and everyone was convinced that iOS 7 would be simply put flat, black and white. However, the question now is whether these were really "substantiated" theories, or whether they were just deduced from Ive's previous work, namely that in the field of hardware. After all, this would not be too difficult, and in connection with the well-known fact that Jony Ive professes different values ​​than Scott Forstall, who led the development of previous versions of iOS, you can easily figure out what the new system could be.

But after a long time (if we don't count last year's new iMac), Apple can do what made it so famous in the past at the keynote - present something completely unexpected. This is also indicated by the words of respected journalist John Gruber, who stated just before WWDC that he had not experienced a similar situation for a long time. "I haven't been in the dark about what Apple will introduce at a keynote since the first iPhone was launched in 2007," he said Gruber on his blog and admitted that it made him look forward to Monday's keynote.

However, this was not the only interesting information from Gruber. The 7-year-old journalist, known for his connections with influential people from Apple, also revealed what he knows about iOS XNUMX. “I've heard all the leaks are fake. This is very interesting and I have no idea how to interpret it.' Even Gruber, otherwise a well-informed person, has no idea what Apple is up to. And I have to agree with him in that it is difficult to judge how to interpret the information he obtained about allegedly false leaks. As a rule, there was speculation only on the level of words, not on real grounds, as I mentioned above. After these comments (again, of course, these are only speculations), the future of iOS 7 and OS X remains largely unknown. And taking into account the fact that almost not a single word has been said about OS X 10.9 in recent weeks, it may not be interesting news only in the much-hyped iOS 7.

But now the speculation is over. The keynote is approaching and with it the blissful feeling that no one knows anything...
