Rumors for Apple's "Back to the Mac" - Results
So, how did I do for the event? Let’s revisit the predictions:
| Rumor | Result | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" | 🙂 | And a nice upgrade. Several things from the mobile (iOS) platform rolled into OS X. |
| Updated versions of iWork and iLife | 🙂 | Yay. Love the photo and movie editing and publishing capabilities. GarageBand has now stooped to the level of "any idiot can make music". |
| A smaller version of the MacBook Air | 🙂 | Smaller, but also the old 13". And improved battery life! |
| Facetime on Mac | 🙂 | Can't wait for integration with the PC! |
| iPhone on the Verizon network | 🙁 | They'll have another event for that. |
| The iMac Touch is announced | 😐 | Well, sort of: Apple explained why they don't think a touchscreen desktop is a good idea, and showed us the alternative. |
| Apple buys Facebook | 🙁 | They may have another event for that... |
All in all, 4 1/2 out of 7. Not a bad score I think, considering the craziness of some of the rumors.
