What to expect at WWDC 2016

WWDC 2016 is tomorrow. Before you get too excited, there might not be everything you might be wanting to be announced. But there might be products that you weren't expecting.

macOS

The latest version of OS X, El Capitan, is great. Tomorrow, we are expecting the next version of OS X to receive a name change to macOS. This is to be in line with the other products like iOS, tvOS and watchOS.
The next version of macOS will receive Siri. An evidence is that Siri referenced 'Finder'. When you say "Open Settings in a window", without referencing  the word Finder at all, Siri looks for an app named 'Finder'. As Finder is the File Manager App of OS X, this proves Siri is coming to the Mac.

iOS 10

The next version of iOS is the 10th version. We are expecting a huge overhaul for Siri and Apple Music. As Google announced The Google Assistant at Google I/O, it leaves Siri in the dust.
As Apple Music's interface is very complicated and the 'Connect' tab isn't doing that well, we are expecting changes to it as well.

watchOS, tvOS

We haven't heard many rumors about these 2 platforms. But we want a good update to the Apple WatchOS as the apps load slowly and there isn't much 'new' in watchOS 2. There is a very slight change of the tv subscription coming to Apple TV.

iMessage to Android

Since Apple announced iMessage with iOS 5 in 2011, it has always been iOS locked, it has never been cross platform. We are now hearing rumors of iMessage coming to Android so you can talk cross platform with iMessage.

That's what we think is coming at WWDC, what do you think?

Apple has started production of iPhone SE in India. Shipping later in May.

This post is taken from  9to5Mac . In the US, the  iPhone SE sells in two flavors , a 32 GB and 128 GB model for $399 and $499 respectively. Third-party Indian resellers already undercut that price point, selling iPhone SE around the $320 mark. Apple was  effectively forced into setting up domestic manufacturing  in order to launch Indian retail stores, as India laws state that companies wanting a retail presence must source at least 30% of their goods locally. According to the Wall Street Journal, government officials hope to see the India iPhone SE sell for even less in its home country. There are obviously some cost savings for Apple to take advantage of by producing domestically and local government reportedly believes Apple could sell its iPhone for as low as $220 (converted to Indian currency). Apple typically does not like to price its devices differently based on region,...
