With the WWDC keynote just a few days away and Apple's WWDC banners being of no help at all, it's time for the Mac|Life staff to make bold predictions of what we expect from Phil and the Apple executive team on Monday.

We've broken up the rumors into delicious bite size pieces that we will judge using the power of percentages. A high percentage means the a better chance of it happening. Someone really should have taught you this in school.

We've added sub-categories for the plethora of iPhone features rumored to be included.

After Monday's WWDC keynote we'll take look at our predictions and point and laugh at the Mac|Life staff member that scored the worst.

Here is what each staff member believes will happen.
