What to expect at Apple's WorldWide Developer's Conference

Jim Dalrymple of The Loop does not expect Apple to introduce a new iPhone or iPad at next week’s WorldWide Developer’s Conference. He says that the iPhone and iPad are “flagship products” that Apple devotes whole events to.

But he does expect new Macintosh hardware, hopefully using Intel’s new “Haswell” line of processors. They would fit in nicely into Tim Cook’s keynote speech.

We’ll also get a look-hopefully-at the new look of iOS since Sir Jony Ive took over software development.

For me, I’m looking forward to news about OS X 10.9. Rumor has it that Apple will include tabs and other features that you can get with shareware and freeware plugins to the current Finder.

I’ll continue to use Pathfinder as my Finder replacement. Apple, just buy Pathfinder for $1 billion or so. Make it easy on yourself.
