WWDC 2007 predictions, follow-up

· 1 minute read · via Masoni Raves About

Well, on the whole, I think I did alright in my predictions. For the record, I didn’t expect even half of my predictions to be right…

Prediction Verdict
New iPhone features CORRECT; Jobs introduced a tool for developers to create third-party apps for the iPhone through Safari. Neato, gang.
6G iPod WRONG 1
Redesigned iMac WRONG; maybe not at WWDC 07, but sometime soon… 2
Leopard new features & GUI CORRECT; Leopard has a slew of new features and a universal GUI across all apps.
iLife & iWork ‘07 WRONG; soon. 2
Mac mini cancellation WRONG
Sub-notebook WRONG; soon. 3
iSight displays WRONG; also soon. 4
MacBook Pro update CORRECT; happened before WWDC, however.
iPhone mini WRONG; it does say wishful thinking, afterall. 5

So there you have it. There was only one announcement that I didn’t see coming—Safari 3 Beta on Windows. So, I got 3/10 guesses correct and 2 out of 3 announcements at WWDC correct. Pretty bad, but that’s okay. I’ll post a rave about Leopard, because I’m disappointed. You’ll see.
