Tag: WWDC


  • Så tyckte jag om iOS 7, nya Mac Pro med mera

    Om man gissar inför en tillställning, så måste man förstås berätta mer efteråt också. Här är min post mortem på WWDC, för den som är intresserad av sådant.


  • WWDC 2013 Post Mortem

    iOS 7

    I’ve been having a rough couple of days, which is why I haven’t followed up on my WWDC predictions until now. All in all I think I did alright. I was surprised that the MacBook Pro line didn’t even get a speed bump, but the Air got a nice upgrade at least.

    What else? Let’s take this in bullet form.  (more…)



  • WWDC 2013 Predictions

    I’m not much for making public predictions about events, but the past few weeks have been littered with conversations about what Apple will and will not show and/or release on WWDC this year. So here you are, my predictions, pulled out of the blue, just like every other analyst out there.

    • No new iPads or iPhones. Sorry, these are core products that warrant their own event(s). I would love a new iPad and although that’s less of a stretch than a new iPhone, I doubt it’ll happen.
    • iOS 7. This will happen, a beta and a lot of developer information, along with a brushed up but not completely revamped, and certainly not monochrome, UI. Apple iterates, they rarely remake, so don’t expect a completely different look, rather an evolved one.
    • OS X 10.9. Just as with iOS 7, I expect Apple to show off the next Mac OS, with more in common with iOS, but still completely different.
    • New MacBooks are coming. I expect a revamped line, not just upgraded innards, but Apple sticking with the current models wouldn’t surprise me either. The MacBook Pro line might be in for a retina only future, but the Air might very well be available in both retina and non-retina, if retina at all. Lots more graphics, still far from being a gamer’s choice.
    • iMac and Mac mini bumps. I think we’ll get basically the same shells, just more juice. No retina iMac, sorry folks.
    • New Thunderbolt Display makes sense, but Apple seems to be in no rush with this one. They usually let the Thunderbolt Display follow the iMac in terms of housing and screen, but that hasn’t happened yet. I’m not sure this is big enough to be mentioned in a keynote, might get a silent update whenever appropriate instead.
    • We might get a new Mac Pro. In fact, I believe we will, and it’ll be US made. Expect a powerhouse that the tech press will deem too pricey, but it really won’t be. Just like its predecessor, up until Apple started to ignore it.
    • No iPods at all.
    • Finally, we just might get a new Apple TV. This might just be a sneak preview that opens up the Apple TV to apps, but if it happens it’ll tell us what we need to know about the Apple TV platform, even if the new hardware won’t be out immediately.

    I’m looking forward to see what WWDC will bring. The tech press will no doubt be disappointed, but that’s how the song goes these days. Luckily you can still make up your own mind based on hard facts and your own experience, and I urge you all to do just that.


  • Billigare Macbook Air (jag är inte bitter)

    Ja, jag vet – Apple har sänkt priset på Macbook Air, och min modell är utfasad. Nu fås den istället med 1,86 GHz och kostar tusenlappen mindre, alltså 15 995 kr. Jämför med +1 000 kr och 1,6 GHz-processor och vissa kanske tycker att jag borde vara bitter.

    Det är jag inte.

    Jag har trots allt skrivit sex kapitel på min Air och bara det gör den värd pengarna. Nu är jag kanske inte världens mest priskänslige person, men ändå. Jag är så nöjd jag kan vara, så om Jocke blev lite skak vid prissänkningen, trots mina tidigare försäkranden om att jag var nöjd med mitt köp, så kan han andas ut igen…

    MacWorld skriver förresten att Apple skickar med en ethernetadapter. Till Air. Det är så ironiskt att jag inte ens tänker kommentera.


  • Ny iPhone i juli

    Apple slog på stora trumman och utannonserade iPhone 3GS – snabbare och med 3 megapixelkamera. Viktiga världen får den väldigt snart, vi får vänta till juli. Gamla iPhone 3G fortsätter finnas kvar, med nedsatt pris.

    Slår vad om att MacWorld har mer snart. Själv gillar jag mest att MacBook Pro nu finns i 13-tumsmodell.
