Also Debuting At WWDC: New Maps (Pictured?), New Apple TV Interface, iTV?
So, WWDC -- Apple's conference for developers around the wide world -- takes place in June, and now that it's getting closer, the rumors around what Apple will unveil are flying. Here they are, in bullet points, for your convenience:<br> <br> - Apple will probably show off iOS 6 for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, featuring a new 3D version of the Maps app. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/05/29/apple-maps-ios-6-3d-summer/" target="_hplink">Boy Genius Report has what it says are pictures</a>; <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/11/ios-6-apple-drops-google-maps-debuts-in-house-maps-with-incredible-3d-mode/" target="_hplink">9to5Mac has all the details here</a>. <br> - Apple might also show off a new interface for its Apple TV set-top box, <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/05/29/apple-maps-ios-6-3d-summer/" target="_hplink">says BGR</a>. The <a href="http://daringfireball.net/2012/05/reading_way_too_much_into_wwdc_schedule" target="_hplink">well-connected Jon Gruber surmises that</a> this may be true, especially if Apple opens up the OS to third-party applications. That would mean Apple would get to pitch the developers in the audience on Apple TV and inspire them to code for it.<br> - Apple could, JUST MAYBE, show off a prototype of its "iTV" television set -- again, to inspire developers to write apps for it. <br> <br> The first two seem likely; the third one is more of a longshot, though a possibility, I suppose. After all the television talk and innuendo from the company's CEO at the All Things D, who knows what Apple is Cook-ing up?<br> <br> I'm sorry for that pun. I am so, so sorry for that pun.<br> <br> That's all for This Week In Apple Rumors. Check back next week for more, and if you can't wait that long, you can get up-to-the-minute Apple rumors by <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/gilbertjasono" target="_hplink">following me on Twitter right here</a>.
