Rumors for Apple's "Back to the Mac" - Results
So, how did I do for the event? Letβs revisit the predictions:
Rumor | Result | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" | π | And a nice upgrade. Several things from the mobile (iOS) platform rolled into OS X. |
Updated versions of iWork and iLife | π | 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 | π | Smaller, but also the old 13". And improved battery life! |
Facetime on Mac | π | Can't wait for integration with the PC! |
iPhone on the Verizon network | π | They'll have another event for that. |
The iMac Touch is announced | π | 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 | π | 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.
