Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) used to be the unveiling ground for the latest and greatest iPhone model, but the last couple of years have been dedicated to the software side of things.
Usually that means the debut of a new version of iOS, but 9to5Macis reporting that this year's WWDC could focus more on the other Apple operating system, Mac's OS X.
OS X 10.10 is apparently code named "Syrah," but Apple has also apparently picked up trademarks for "Yosemite," "Diablo" and "Mammoth," all names of California landmarks. Personally, I'd be willing to bet that Diablo will be a little too morbid to make the final cut, but Yosemite sure would be cool.
So other than a potentially cool name, what else do we have to look forward to in the latest iteration of Apple's computer OS? Apparently they're going for a more iOS-like look, with "similar toggle designs to iOS 7, sharper window corners, more defined icons across the system, and more white space than the current version." That said, Apple isn't going to go so far into iOS territory as to get rid of features like Finder, multi-window multitasking and Mission Control, which is a relief to longtime OS X users like myself.
As far as iOS 8, it seems like there's not going to be too many huge changes after last year's big overhaul. Apparently some of the 8.0 features are also going to be bumped back to 8.1.
What do you think of the decision to put OS X front and center at WWDC? Are you excited for the pending redesign? Let us know in the comments.
