I'm not that confident... it just feels like a whole number incremental jump is a bit much. I can't see what changes they could bring on the level of iOS 5 (in terms of added features) that could justify it.
I see enchantements, tweaks, and revisions more-so than completely new features. I may be wrong, but it feels as if iOS 5 just came out and I don't see the need for them to push out a huge update anytime soon.
It'll be interesting to watch regardless.
They just publicly committed to iterate faster on OS X with yearly updates.
They aren't going to iterate slower on iOS.

are we suppose to hear about new Imacs or macbooks?
Most of us think an overhaul to maps and navigation is coming. That's certainly worthy of a whole number.

That a new iOS shows up or that it's specifically called iOS 6?
Apple is going to ditch versioning all together across all product lines and simply call it "the new iOS" and laugh at all of us as we freak out.
No they won't

Please Apple, keep make new Mac Pros. And continue that for 4 more years so I can get one when I need one!
yup. I mean, pretty much every version has only had a couple really big features and then a bunch of smaller ones.
if iOS 6 is all about maps, adds maybe one or two other user centric features (music library management, pls thx) and then some tweaks, then it'd be about on par for the other releases. (iOS 5 may be the exception since the work on making it more PC-free was a greater shift in scope for the OS)

They should go with cute nicknames for all the new versions like the competitors do and they do for their desktop OS.
Go with nicknames for money:
iOS Benjamins
iOS Fat Stacks
iOS Fort Knox
iOS Cheddar
etc.

Can't wait to see the new iPod Touch as my current Gen 4 has a broken screen. 4" screen, 1GB of ram, and dual core please.
I'd settle just for directions and restaurant/ business searches in Canada. I think US is still the only country that has these functions available
I'd be very surprised if any Siri APIs are ready for iOS 6. it'd be nice, though. Siri and omnifocus would be sweet. or siri and ebay...
"ebay, buy all Mamma's Family VHS tapes in condition 'very good' or better, from listings ending in the next 12 hours"
or integrate siri with games

You mean later in the fall, right? The only hardware I ever remember being unveiled at WWDC are iPhones, and those are now fall introductions. iPod touches were usually at the fall music events.

If it's ok with everyone, I'd like to do the official wwdc topic again this year. Already started working on it
Sorry, already have exclusive Apple-Thread rights. You need to pay me a royalty to open any and all Apple official threads going forward, as authorized by the NeoGAF Gods on High.
All yours, at least from my POV
Really?? Nope.
Siri out of beta and compatible with older devices? Now we're can start talking.
no pun
:lol I'm betting on this as well.
.. but not really
Thanks!
How'd you get that countdown setup? That'd be a nice addition to my topic

Well either way....Well, prepare to be wrong, Sentry.

Have they lowered the entry age barrier, or it has always been like that? Seems weird that they'd let teenagers there.

I would be they call it iOS 6 (no one really refers to iOS versions but developers, so it doesn't need the "new iOS"-type moniker which they seem to use for consumer-facing products). Or they'll assign some name to it if not a numeral.
I'd be shocked if Siri APIs aren't part of it.
Wonder if they'll roll in development for the Apple TV?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So this will all be about iOS 6 I assume?
I take it they'll do a separate show later on for the iPhone if they are going to space out the releases between the iPad and iPhone by like 6 months from each other. I do wonder how amazing the iPhone announcement will be outside of hardware though if iOS6 has already been shown at WWDC.

Mountain Lion, iOS6, MacBook Pros and maybe new iMacs?

Probably similar to last year, iOS 6, 10.8 + Something else
Why in the world did they move away from June releases? So god damn stupid..
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
To space out their product cycle with the iPad being launched. The current cycle gives them roughly 6 months pre/post each launch from/till the previous/next launch.
^This + Siri API + new Maps/navigation, would be worth the 6.0 monicker. Otherwise, it's too incremental imo.

I hope they make iOS less boring and the Apple apps less ugly.
keep fucking that chicken.
ok, I kid a little. I actually agree with you about the latest Apple iOS apps being kinda ugly with all the leather and stitches and whatnot. I feel they had it right with the plain, low-chrome look of the original iPhone apps

I can agree with this although "less boring" isn't the way I'd put it.

They don't need to hold a developer conference to release hardware. What is going on in here?
...so? Has something happened in the last five years that's made the messages app icon inadequate?

We're saying irrational things to try and conjure you back to existence! I miss my daily does of Pie these days in Apple threads
They have revealed new Mac hardware in the past at WWDC I believe. And we basically know that we are getting new Mac Hardware in the summer.
Basically it goes like this
We are 100% guarenteed to have iOS 6 shown off.
We are 100% guarenteed to have Mountain Lion further demo'ed and a release date given.
We are very likely to see new Mac Hardware
There is little to no chance in hell we are seeing a new iPhone.

I'm not really sure which app from the iPad conference almost made me throw up, but I think it was iMovies.
I just can't think of anything in iOS that is visually attractive and makes me think "hey, that's nice". At least not from a visual standpoint. It's just functional and there, in the same way Windows on the desktop is.
I don't like how similar and yet plain the phone and sms icons look, as well as the diagonal lines that go through them. Apple was smart enough to remove those lines when they turned the iPod icon into 'Music'.

When do you guys think the iPad will get an official, capable native development environment?
Has to happen eventually.
