There are a ton of rumors floating around the forthcoming WWDC keynote. We've collected some of them here for your reading pleasure.
iTunes.com
With the purchase of Lala.com, Apple really had us stumped. We know they do music, but what will they use the music streaming service for? The rumor mill has spoken and people believe that Apple could be creating a cloud-based (Internet-based) iTunes service that could reportedly allow users to stream their music to different devices. However, AppleInsider believes that the use of streaming through iTunes would constitute "multiple uses," therefore the music labels might want a larger chunk of money to keep them happy.
New Macs
Yeah, we know that Apple seems to be spending a lot of time, money, and energy promoting their mobile devices like the iPad, but new rumors suggest that Apple could release some updated Macs at WWDC. After all, you do need a Mac to create iPhone OS apps! Among the speculated updates are the MacBook Air and Mac Pro. Also long due for an update is the Cinema Displays. It would be nice to see an LED backlit Cinema Display.
New iPhone
So the iPhone 4G was already leaked? Yeah, okay. I guess we don't have anything else to say about this rumor--after all, it's an almost certainty that Apple will release a new iPhone per their yearly revamping process. Who knows, we may be surprised and see some never-before-seen updates to our favorite little gadget.
Verizon iPhone
There have been rumors surrounding a Verizon Wireless iPhone since the device was launched in 2007. We have yet to see this come true, but based on recent events, we can't help but think that carrier exclusivity is about to end for Apple, AT&T and the iPhone. TheStreet recently reported that we could see a Verizon deal as soon as November.
