The Apple's Developers Conference gave the giant technology company the chance to talk about its past and what the future holds. The company, which announced its new operating system, also mentioned the large number of iPads and similar devices sold in the months leading up to the conference. Reporters left the conference and immediately began discussing the top company announcements from the event.
One of the biggest announcements from Apple concerned iOS 7, its newest operating system. The iPad Mini, iPad 2, and newer versions of the iPhone will all come equipped with this operating system, and the company also announced that it would work with the iPhone 4. Some rumors also indicated that Apple would use the operating system in some new vehicles. Another announcement concerned the iTunes radio service, tentatively called iRadio. Users can search for songs based on different criteria, but the announcement didn't gain as much attention as the company hoped.
Developer Eddie Cue appeared in front of the audience to discuss the upcoming changes to Siri. The technology will get a big change now that the company lets users download a male voice. Users can also use Siri to search through its own search engine Bing, and users can also use Twitter through Siri. Apple also announced changes to its photo software. You can now share your favorite photographs through the social networking feature, and some users noted that the new design looks similar to how Facebook's photo sharing system looks.
Those who attended the event also heard about the new iCloud software, which lets you share documents, photographs, and other files. The software lets users drag different documents onto their own personal clouds, share and save those files, and access them when they're away from their computers. According to James Vincent, Apple applied for a trademark on the word iWatch in Japan not long after the conference. Though it didn't make any company announcements surrounding the device during the conference, a company spokesperson did say that the company wanted to expand into the television market, stating the room for improvement in the television market. Rumors surrounding iWatch claim that it's a type of new television that will work with other products from the company. It's clear that the company isn't done researching and developing new innovations in the world of electronics.
With the releases of the iPhone, iPad, and other devices, the company proved that it was one of the top electronic manufacturers in the world. Despite some issues and lower sales on its top devices, it just keeps coming back with new products. The iWatch, the development of iCloud, its new operating system, and changes to Siri were a few of the top announcements and rumors surrounding the 2013 Apple Developers Conference.
