Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference has been scheduled for early June 2015, which is on par with the timing for the new operating system and its expected there will be a beta version to play with around this time for the developers to start tuning their apps and developing new ones.<\/p>\n

While iOS 5 brought a stronger integration with iCloud as Apple jumped in to the Cloud Computing bandwagon, and the more recent versions of iOS seem to be aimed at bringing closer integration with OS X, it is expected that his trend will continue into the latest version.\u00a0 A newer trend and one I’ve been closer to with a number of sources is that Apple will start to focus on enterprise integration.\u00a0 While devices like Blackberry and Nokia have enjoyed the focus of massive enterprise, the Apple iPhone has certainly been pushed into the business world for their devices.\u00a0 This is natural considering the user base out there that is already using iPhones as a personal device.\u00a0 I’ve personally watched IBM employees move on masse to Apple devices with the growth of their bring your own device program and throw their Lenovo’s and Thinkpads at a wall. Administrators and the people running the enterprise networks and infrastructure will be able to employ a range of rules and functions to better control security, deployment and device management with the new iOS 9 features that will be available.<\/p>\n

For the public, this will mean a lot of work in the guts of the iOS platform that they may not see much of until the developers of enterprise software start to focus on building apps for the platform and big software development platforms like IBM’s BlueMix is positioned well to take advantage of this new scenario.<\/p>\n

Given the launch of the new Apple iWatch, there is an even money bet that iOS 9 will increase the integration between these devices.\u00a0 There will be more functionality between the watch and iOS 9, likely to increase the ability to port applications (or at least increase the communications) between the two devices.\u00a0 The iWatch is already shaping up to be a tremendous hit despite the large number of people (including techies that are ususally on the bleading edge of the curve) wondering why, what it is about and what is the point.<\/p>\n

Bearing in mind, Apple’s notorius secrecy, the new iPhone 6s is expected around September 2015 (as always), and the exterior design is expected to be the same as the current models.\u00a0 While there are already rumours that there is a new 4 inch returning with the 7 model, (also called the 7c), however, this reads as an unlikely story given the recent killing off of the 5c.\u00a0 Apple is continually focusing on the usuals, better battery life which is becoming like Moore’s law of computer speed and continually evolving.\u00a0 Sony has set the standard being able to last a few days without a recharge and the rest are trying to catchup.<\/p>\n

There is ongoing focus on improved camera capabilities and ensuring that camera use does not reduce battery performance.\u00a0 Apple will want to reap some benefits of their recent purchase of Linx Imaging, who are specialists in camera phone technology, creating lenses that combine multiple aperture configurations to produce DSLR quality photo’s.\u00a0 The battery sizes continue with a 16, 64 and 128 GB capacity and there is a strong belief that the new A9 processors will be used bringing in a faster perfomance again.<\/p>\n

Force touch was introduced in to the new Macbook that Apple has released and this is thought to be coming in the new iPhones.\u00a0 This is where the device distinguishes between a light tap, and a hard press to offer different functions.<\/p>\n

That’s about all on the items with any dependability.\u00a0 There are others out there such as working on a competitor to Samsung’s edge design, but that design is not being as well recieved as Samsung would like, so that is not likely.\u00a0 If you’ve heard any other rumours, inbox me or leave a comment.<\/p>\n
