In a few more days, Apple will be revealing its next-generation gadgets as well as new software. What will Apple reveal during this year's Worldwide Developers Conference?
At this year's WWDC, tech junkies are expecting Apple CEO Tim Cook to unveil the next installments of the iPad Pro and MacBook series. Not much has been said about the iPad Mini line. Hopefully, Apple will address the rumors about its discontinuation. A new product might even be introduced at the upcoming event. Rumor has it the Cupertino giant is developing new hardware specifically for their virtual assistant, Siri. The Siri speaker will reportedly rival Amazon's Echo speaker, Google Home, and Samsung's Harman Kardon.
Aside from showcasing new hardware at the annual convention, announcements on the next mobile operating system, the iOS 11, might roll out in addition to the OS for the Mac, Apple watch, and TV.
