Just as Apple teased last year at this same annual event, a covered banner has been hung – floating above the crowds at WWDC 2013 waiting to get in to the week’s first major keynote. This banner is the same size as those already unveiled on the first level of the Moscone Center where the
This year’s big Apple developers conference has arrived, WWDC 2013, and SlashGear is now on the scene to bring the full top-to-bottom report to you, up close and personal. While the main entry point for Apple’s major keynote for this multi-day event will be accessible to you via SlashGear’s WWDC 2013 liveblog portal (starting at
As we inch closer to Apple’s annual developers conference WWDC, inside sources appear to have “confirmed” details many publications had already either sources themselves or had guessed at, one way or the other. The bulk of these details center on the updated aesthetics and usability of iOS 7, as made real by Jony Ive, and
Apple’s big WWDC 2013 keynote will be starting at 10AM PST tomorrow morning (that’s June 10th, if you did not know), and SlashGear will be bringing a liveblog to you straight from inside the Moscone Center. If the banners we’ve seen tied with the rumors, tips, and suggestions hold true, we’ll be seeing an event
Monday will be the day that Apple brings its yearly developers conference to the city of San Francisco once again, with plenty of software updates in the wings: but what about hardware? Here in the week before WWDC 2013, several devices have been tipped or otherwise leaked, with upgrades and refreshes of devices we’ve seen
As WWDC approaches, the suggestion that Jony Ive’s assignment on iOS over the past collection of months grows stronger. Here just days away from Apple’s yearly developers conference, the company has been so clear as to post an ultra-flat banner with the number “7″ in the center of it after their flat integration invite. Could
The next generation of iMac has been revealed at the Apple event today that should very well be show the iPad mini – and it’s “absolutely beautiful” as Apple says, not least of all because its’s extremely thin – 55mm thin, in fact. This update has edge-to-edge glass, an extremely thin body, and a set of ports on the back that keep this device in the all-in-one family for real. The basic design of the device is similar to the previous generations of the iMac, here with a new Chin with Friction Stir welding.
The molecules of the aluminum merge together, Apple says, with Friction Stir welding, a new technique that makes this machine seamless. A newly engineered body contains a brand new set of technologies that take what the iMac 7th generation accomplished and pushes it to a whole new level. There will be at least two models available from Apple, those being the following:
21.5 inch 1920 x 1080 display
25 inch 2560 x 1440 display
These units will be working with a lovely IPS display with a 178 degree viewing angle and 300+ nits brightness. These units have a full lamination design, a brand new bit of technology called Plasma deposition – of course this is a whole lot of testing that leads to 75% less reflection on the display than before. Each of these units has been individually calibrated by Apple by hand as well.
The back of these devices have a headphone port, four USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt ports, and an Ethernet port – check the Apple portal for full pricing on this device as well as the rest throughout the day!

Apple‘s event has just kicked off this morning where we’re expecting tons of exciting news. From the iPad mini, an improved iMac mini, and tons more. While they’ve just got started and we’re patiently awaiting the good news, they are taking time to share some notes on the iPhone 5. Stating it was the fastest selling phone in history.
While these numbers aren’t unknown, and we’ve heard plenty already regarding numbers, it’s nice to hear it right from Apple’s own Tim Cook. Confirming that they sold over 5 million iPhone 5′s just on the opening weekend. Selling out faster than any iPhone to date, and being the fastest selling phone in history.
We’ve been watching the numbers, and reported on these numbers back in September, and you can read more about their 23 iPhone 5 sales a second. Pretty impressive numbers right?
The folks from Apple followed that up with a neat video showing some of the massive excitement, crowds, and families that lined up around the world to get the latest and greatest from Cupertino. Below are a few photos from Apple’s video showing the excitement of launch day. In case you somehow missed it, check out our iPhone 5 Review. Stay tuned right here for all the news coming soon about the iPad mini and more.

Starting right now, Apple will finally lift the veil on its iPad Mini, lock in new iTunes goodies, and maybe intro a new iMac. And we’ll be covering it all right here. More »
It’s time for the main event here in California down at Apple’s main event that’s sure to bring on a variety of new hardware bits and software updates, including the rumored iPad mini first and foremost. This update to the iPad line will quite likely tie in with either digital media sales or Education with the new handheld smaller-sized iPad coming in with a lower cost than its larger compatriot. This event may well play host to a set of other hardware refreshes as well.
With a 10AM PST start time we’ll be off and running with all the news you can possibly handle right here in the SlashGear main news feed and in our fabulous Apple portal. There you’ll see the iPad mini along with refreshes – rumored, mind you – of the Mac mini, iMac (probably not), Retina MacBook Pro (that being a 13-inch iteration), and more! Software will include a slightly updated iOS 6.1, updates to iBooks and other odd Apple-made apps, and a push for more.
Have a peek at a couple panorama shots we’ve got here from inside the theater that the Apple event is taking place in right this minute as well. You’ll see no lack of iPhone 5 units and Apple-made products of all sorts in hands and popping out of backpacks. Expect the stage to bring on a whole new wave of updates – check the timeline below for a few last-minute possibilities and stay tuned all day long!
