Full MacBook refresh at WWDC tips analyst

Apple’s annual WWDC conference is coming up in June, and it’s expected that the company will reveal a host of new products, whether it’d be software-based or hardware-based. However, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it’s said that Apple will be releasing a refreshed line of MacBooks during WWDC.

These new MacBooks are said to be packing Intel’s latest Haswell processors, and it’s believed that while Apple puts a lot of focus on its Retina-equipped MacBook Pros, the company will continue to produce regular MacBook Pros for the foreseeable future, due to their continued popularity and lower price point.

Kuo thinks that updated regular MacBooks will start shipping soon after WWDC, but new Retina MacBooks will see a slight delay due to production issues. As for the MacBook Air, Kuo believes that the next update to the line will include Retina displays, but it’ll obviously come at a cost, just as with the other Retina MacBooks.

Earlier today, we also heard details about OS X 10.9, which could also make an appearance at WWDC this year, where the new operating system will come with even more iOS-like features. OS X 10.9 is expected to be yet another baby step towards closing the gap between OS X and iOS. Kuo also mentioned earlier today that the Retina iPad mini may not see a 2013 release due to production delays.

Apple takes developer Tech Talks mobile after WWDC sell-out

Posted in: Today's Chili

Apple’s sell-out WWDC developer conference – tickets for which were snapped up in just two minutes – has prompted a “Tech Talks” roadshow, with the Cupertino firm taking its dev outreach mobile. The new events, set to be held in multiple – currently unspecified – cities, will presumably see a “mini-WWDC” staged for those developers unable to get tickets (either through scarcity or their $1,599 cost) to the annual conference.

Exactly what each Tech Talk will consist of is unclear at this stage, though if WWDC is to go by they could include opportunities to talk with Apple’s own software engineers about app best-practice, tutorial sessions about iOS and OS X, and a networking experience with other codes. WWDC has also traditionally offered a chance to get to grips with early versions of Apple’s mobile and desktop platforms, with the company promising to show off new OS x and iOS 7 code at this year’s show in June.

“Enthusiasm for WWDC 2013 has been incredible, with tickets selling out in record time. For those who can’t join us in San Francisco, you can still take advantage of great WWDC content, as we’ll be posting videos of all our sessions during the conference. We’ll also be hitting the road this fall with Tech Talks in a city near you. Hope to see you there” Apple

It’s not the first time Apple has done this sort of outreach, however. Back in 2011, the company began a multiple-city tour to show developers the new features of iOS 5, with locations in the US as well as Europe and Asia. Places on that tour were prioritized for those who had an app already in the App Store.

The Tech Talks aren’t the only concession Apple is making for developers unable to be at WWDC in person. The company has historically posted videos of the technical sessions after the event has concluded, but this year has committed to releasing the footage while the conference is still underway.

What most eyes will be on is the opening keynote, of course, where Tim Cook & Co. is expected to make software and hardware announcements. SlashGear will be there to bring back all the details as they’re announced.

How Apple’s Developer Conference Grew Too Big for Its Own Developers

Posted in: Today's Chili

WWDC is to Apple Developers as Coachella is to filthy hipsters: It’s the year’s must-attend event. Except the World Wide Developer Conference is way harder to get into. There are more than 275,000 iOS developers registered in the U.S. alone–and …

Apple’s WWDC conference sells out in 2 minutes

Posted in: Today's Chili

Just minutes ago SlashGear announced the on-sale marker for Apple’s developer conference WWDC 2013 – now they’re all sold out. Having literally hit refresh ourselves from the moment the tickets went on sale, it’s appearing from here that Apple sold tickets out from start to finish in under 2 minutes. You’ll find sources across the web suggesting 3 minutes and even 1 minute – stay tuned for official word from Apple as well.

thankyousorry

This sale is a record, one way or another. Back in 2012 tickets sold out in right around two hours after they went on sale, that time working with an on-sale time that wasn’t announced in advance. The same situation occurred in 2011 where ticket sales took around 12 hours.

Here in 2013, the release of tickets was pre-announced and pinpointed for Apple developers, this allowing the masses to be on-point with clicks and credit cards. This event should prove to be an important one in Apple’s history as it will reveal not only a new iteration of their desktop operating system, but their mobile operating system as well, both of them with new leadership behind the scenes.

Have a peek at our still short history with WWDC 2013 in the timeline below and prepare for the big set of events starting on June 10th and lasting until the 14th of June, 2013. We’ll be live in-effect from start to finish, especially in regards to the major keynotes which have in the past proven themselves to be significant moments in the Apple road of events.

Apple’s developer conference has been announced earlier this week and tickets for the event are on sale now. This event will take place at the Moscone Center as it has for several years and may well play host to a set of new devices in addition to software pushes for both mobile and desktop Apple environments.

Tickets for WWDC are set for official Apple developers and will cost a cool $1,599 apiece. This event’s tickets are a sure sell-out, it’s only a matter of how long they’ll take to reach that moment of unavailability. Tickets have gone on sale at 10AM PST, just a moment ago, and we’ll be watching closely to see how long they take to actually reach their final state.

This event has been promised by Tim Cook to contain new versions of both Apple’s desktop OS and the iPhone/iPad operating systme iOS as well. With the company’s Design Awards, top apps in iPhone, iPad, and Mac are showcased from third-party developers that then go on to sell millions of copies – if they’re lucky. WWDC 2013 will be home to more than 1,000 developers while Apple runs the show from several stages and meeting rooms.

Have a peek at our recent coverage of WWDC and stay tuned as we cover the event straight from San Francisco through our own WWDC 2013 portal!
