And maybe an always-on mode, so the time remains visible without putting too much strain on the battery. The Apple TV doesn’t get enough love, but updates to its operating system tend to be minimal.

Last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook did not give any stage time to tvOS during WWDC, despite updates such as a new automatic dark and light mode, full AirPods support, and home screen sync. This year, we’re not hearing many rumblings about what we’ll see with tvOS 12.
I think Apple will highlight the device’s HomeKit capabilities. Many people still don’t know that Apple TV can act as a smart home hub. If nothing else, we’ll likely hear more about Apple’s upcoming $1 billion slate of original television shows. It would be nice to see Apple separate its video productions away from Apple Music and offer some sort of subscription service to compete with Netflix. I can only imagine how difficult and time consuming those negotiations would be with the film studios, though. All-new Mac ProĪpple says it is working on a new Mac Pro, and it’s about time. The current top-of-the-line Mac debuted in 2013 (and got a slight power boost last year). The new Mac Pro will be, and I quote, “Apple’s highest-end, high-throughput desktop system designed for our demanding pro customers,” according to Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller. The new Mac Pro reportedly will abandon the current cylindrical design, making it easy to improve the hardware inside. I think this could be a modular system so Apple could limit upgrades from third-party suppliers. While Apple did not say the new Mac Pro will arrive in 2018, I think we will at least get a preview at this year’s WWDC. Shipping times will likely be closer to the end of the year or even early 2019. It’s not just the Mac Pro that could see a refresh.
