WWDC Kicks Off June 8

How to Watch Apple’s Next Huge Event Live

By:- Avinash Kumar

The invitation went out Monday night, a week before the keynote address that kicks off Apple’s annual World Wide Developers Conference.

“Join us on June 8 at 10 a.m. PDT for our special event. Watch the live video and follow every moment on apple.com/live.”

The webcast — also available on Apple TV — is a gift to investors who aren’t on the VIP list, journalists who weren’t invited, bloggers on a tight budget and, especially, developers who needed to attend WWDC 2015 but didn’t win Apple’s ticket lottery.

It should be an interesting show. The iconography of the invitation — a rounded square as “The epicenter of change” — signaled pretty clearly that the star would be Apple TV.

But the epicenter has shifted since Apple released that tag line. The big news Monday was that negotiations for what was supposed to be one of the show’s tentpole features — a new streaming TV service — had collapsed.

Otherwise, the rest of the rumors we rounded up a week and a half ago — the new set-top box, the new remote, the new streaming music service, the software developers kit, the new app store — seem to be on track.

We’re flying to San Francisco for the show. You can watch it from home.

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6 (Video) They’ve got almost nothing in common besides their aluminum casings – and that shouldn’t come as too big a surprise. The iPhone 6 is Apple’s crown jewel, a curved and super-thin ingot packing technologies cherry-picked by Apple to run its closed and meticulously managed iOS platform. By contrast, HTC’s One M9 is a thick block of precision-machined metals, its sharp angles exaggerated by a dual-anodization manufacturing process, its software a heavily customized version of the much more mutable Android Lollipop. There’s so much more to say – but it’s all been said; to get the full picture of each of these handsets you’ve got to check out the full reviews. We called the iPhone 6 “excellence exemplified” despite its aesthetic devolution from previous models, and we criticized HTC for too little evolution in its product since last year’s outstanding One M8. Check those out to get the lay of th...
