Please, let Siri be smart. When Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off the developer conference WWDC in San Francisco enters the stage in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, he could the digital assistant Siri breathe new life.
After Apple Siri introduced in October 2011 along with the iPhone 4S, the hopes were high that this revolution would take its beginning. Almost five years later, the result is rather sobering.
Since it is hardly surprising that Apple will give its digital assistant a new thrust. If confirmed the rumors, Apple Siri is finally open to developers.
So far only a few partners had access to Siri, the music recognition service Shazam was one of them. But only one voice command, but please to stream a song from Spotify, ran into the void. Have developers finally have access to Siri, the assistant should be much more helpful. Users could order on call a taxi or a pizza.
Traditionally, it is mainly used in Apple’s developer conference to software and services. This does not mean that no new devices will be presented. Three years ago, the Group showed there his cylinder computer Mac Pro.
In contrast to the product presentations surprisingly little information is leaked before this WWDC. In any case, it will go to the next version of the mobile operating system iOS 10 for iPhones and iPads.
About Siris opening had already last month the site ” The Informations of “reports. Even the messaging service iMessage could be beefed up. There is speculation that he could continue to run even on Android smartphones.
So far, only Apple users via iMessage can exchange. Why this is so remains unclear. The competitor WhatsApp is already available and more successful than iMessage on all platforms. Maybe get iMessage even a pay function that did not exist previously.
The competitor Facebook’s Messenger and Google with the Allo recently presented their services with Chatbots attractive , You do the booking of air tickets or order food.
A revision could also Apple Music tolerated. Critics found the service still too confusing. The music streaming service, which has been introduced a year ago, should have between 13 million and 15 million users.
reportedly Apple could with iOS 10 his iCloud encrypt end-to-end. This would backups only accessible for the respective users. So far, even Apple was able to access these backups on the network that have been added in some cases to the law enforcement agencies.
Most likely Apple also has some news for the networked home in their luggage. The service platform for this is called HomeKit and probably for the first time will also get its own app in which can be defined rules, for example, appropriately equipped apartments as:. Delete the lights when I leave the house
What changes will bring the next version of the computer operating system OS X, is still unclear. Presumably Apple will rename the system in macOS, so it fits in a series with the systems iOS, TVOS and watchOS.
For the first time should be with the next macOS version Siri and Mac meet. So far, Siri was in fact not available to the computer. Good possible that Apple countered with its own Siri speaker to push Amazon with its echo-speakers and Google with the home speakers that also take orders and answer questions.
Apple will come to speak on watchOS and TVOS. New features for the Apple Watch and Apple TV are not known prior to the developer conference.
Whether there is to see in San Francisco new hardware is but uncertain. Observers close from new iPhone or iPad, but Apple’s own presentations reserves. This is expected in the autumn with the launch of the iPhone 7 on.
But there could be new Macs, almost the entire Mac product line in the years come. The new Macbook Pro is to receive an OLED touch strip where previously were the function keys. There can then be run from the context-dependent functions. Even the MacBook Air could undergo a renovation. However, whether this is done at the WWDC, is unclear.
not to overburden well at the developer conference, Apple has already betrayed, what’s up, the Group with its AppStore where now two million applications are available
in future, all Apps -. including games – will be offered as a subscription that automatically extended. Until now this was only possible for certain services, such as news services and apps like Netflix.
For such subscriptions Apple requires developers to from the second year only a revenue share of 15 percent. So far, there is twice as much. Overall, the iPhone Group meets its developers receive a piece. You can now also more flexible set their prices and demand, for example, of new and existing customers different rates.
developers must continue to wait even longer until their applications are examined. Half of all apps to be approved within 24 hours, 90 percent within two days. So far, the developers were waiting often a week and longer for their applications in the AppStore appeared.
For the first time Apple will show banner advertising on the AppStore on search results pages, initially only in the US . Developers can bid on this place by auction and advertise example for their games.
