WWDC, Pundits can’t stop predicting again. Here’s our prediction.
Every year again, in the second week of June, the Apple’s WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC for intimates) takes place and year after year again it does not only excite all Apple and tech pundits, but also incites them to publish their predictions. Most of them usually being wrong, but they always serve as awesome linkbait and keep the conversation among A-listers going.
Every year again you can also find bingo cards to print out and keep your no-life nerdism excited. What could be better than sitting on the edge of your chair, reading a live blog of the conference and wait until Apple has uploaded the conference video. Surely not pr0n!
Of course here at JOAB we do not want to miss out and also want to share our predictions.
- iPhone 3GMYM: A new iPhone will be announced and will be named GMYM. GMYM stands for Give Me Your Money
- At least 3 bloggers will run out of battery power
- Many pictures will be uploaded during the event, just as many photos will be hotlinked on other sites
- During the event Duncan Riley will make more stupid LOLcat pictures only to complain publicly after the event that the release of the iPhone 3GMYM will take months longer in Australia than in the US
- After the event, Gruber, of Daring Fireball fame, will post ‘Told you all!’
- Apple will not announce a tablet
- Apple will obviously bump the speeds of the slower unibody MacBook. We actually are surprised it took the wannabe pundits more than a week to discover that the almost 7% CPU bump for the White MacBook resulted in a faster machine
- Many people will be present at the Moscone center
- There will be spotlights
All in all, the event will be disappointing. No announcement of new Apple powered NASA capsules or satellites will be made. Apple will not solve global warming or make the UK dryer for that matter. War on earth will continue. Poverty will not be solved and Steve Jobs will not announce a cure for cancer. There won’t be any bacon either.
What do you think?
