(I wouldn't stake my life on this, but I can’t help but speculate that we could even see iOS development fork for a year or so, while the company migrates the entire iPhone ecosystem to the new UI.)Īpple's 28th annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, between June 5-9, the company says. Most people seem to expect these changes will be made available only in the high-end $1,000+ iPhone, with two entry-level models being a little more like an iPhone 7 design. If the phone is different then it is inevitable the software will be very different, too – so you can expect some significant tweaks in the next edition of iOS. The new Apple smartphone already sounds like it will be radically different. New hardware design will mean developers have more display space to work with, which will have implications on developers and their apps new biometric sensors may have implications for developers and their apps and the new, ever-changing ‘function area’ means developers will need to do a heap of work to bring their apps up to speed for the new high-end iPhone. Then there’s all the speculation around Augmented and Virtual Reality, which is also likely to have implications on the company’s developer community.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will replace the Home button and Touch ID with a new virtual ‘function area’.There are claims Apple may start manufacturing new iPhones earlier than expected, ramping up production in June.
Apple has plans to redefine the smartphone category it defined with iPhone 2007 with this year’s model.
