"Hey Siri" saved a young child's life (7/6)
Just before the rumored update to Siri in the new iOS, a story happened in Australia that may inspire Apple to develop a voice assistant. Stacey, the mother of a one-year-old girl, was horrified to discover one evening that her daughter had stopped breathing. While trying to clear her airway, Stacey dropped her iPhone on the floor, but thanks to the "Hey Siri" feature, she was still able to call an ambulance without having to stop caring for the little girl. When the ambulance arrived at Stacey's house, her daughter was breathing again. The girl's family advises all parents to familiarize themselves with the functions of their phones, as they can sometimes save a life.

MacOS will probably actually replace OS X at WWDC (8/6)
On its website, Apple used the name "macOS" as a reference to its computer operating system, which until now was called OS X. In the section of frequently asked questions about the new rules of the App Store, macOS appears alongside iOS, watchOS and tvOS. The name has already appeared in iTunes Connect once this year, but in the form with a capital letter M - MacOS. Apple could introduce the new designation of its operating system for Macs as early as Monday at WWDC, the page has since been corrected and macOS is now OS X again.

Tim Cook is in the top ten most popular bosses in the United States (8/6)
Based on a survey of the satisfaction of employees of the most important companies with their bosses, Tim Cook ranked eighth out of the 50 best-rated bosses. The employees of Apple rated highly mainly the benefits that the company brings them, stimulating environment and collegiality. On the other hand, Apple received a lower rating for a poor work-life balance and long working hours. Over 7 employees took part in the survey. Cook has improved compared to previous years. In 2015, it ranked tenth, two years ago it ranked eighteenth.
Bob Becheck, director of Bain in Boston, took the first place, Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook and Sundar Pichai from Google also got ahead of Cook.

Speculation: iMessage could arrive on Android (9/6)
Another of the speculations just before the WWDC conference concerns the extension of Apple's ecosystem to Android, this time in the form of iMessage. According to unconfirmed reports, iMessage should be the next Apple app to appear on Google Play after Apple Music. The communication service can offer Android users secure encrypted messaging and Apple's design. The switch from Android to iPhone was a record last year, and the launch of iMessage on this platform could lead to even more users switching to iPhone.

Steve Jobs was already interested in the car in 2010 (June 9)
In 2010, Steve Jobs met with Bryan Thompson, an industrial designer, to discuss a car called the V-Vehicle that Thompson was currently working on. During their meeting, during which Jobs was able to see the car, the then Apple boss gave Thompson some advice.
According to Jobs, Thompson should have focused mainly on plastic materials that would make the car up to 40 percent lighter than steel vehicles and also 70 percent cheaper. It is said that Jobs had a vision of an all-plastic car that would run on gasoline and would be available to drivers for only 14 dollars (335 crowns). Thompson also got some interior advice from the Apple executive. Jobs recommended a sharper design that evokes a sense of precision.
The V-Vehicle project eventually failed, largely due to cuts in government funding, and Jobs focused mainly on the iPhone during this period. However, as we can see, the Apple Car, the car on which the Californian company is likely to focus its attention now, has been a planned product for a long time.
