What to expect from WWDC 2017

Apple won’t only be announcing iOS 11, MacOS 10.1, TVOS 11 AND WatchOS 4 but are also rumoured to be announcing an Amazon Echo-like speaker with Siri and AirPlay.

iOS 11 is also expected to come with a revamped Apple Music app, which will showcase Apple’s original video content. Apple is rumoured to be releasing around 10 original shows and documentaries by the end of the year such as Carpool Karaoke.

The Siri-powered smart speaker has been described to look similar to an UE Boom Speaker or a Google Home with a concaved top. The device supposedly has built in controls, has a screen and includes some kind of Beats technology.

The other big rumour is that Apple is set to unveil a social networking app ‘Clips’ which will be similar to Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram, focusing on video sharing. The app is rumoured to allow users to record videos, make edits, add doodles and then send onto friends.
