This week, Apple held a jam-packed keynote where it announcediOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, watchOS 9, and a refreshed MacBook Pro.
There were rumors and leaks about what Apple would say at the event. Some of the rumors and reports didn't turn out to be correct. Below you'll find a list of rumors and reports that nailed it.
Jon Prosser shared renders showing a white MacBook Air with a white keyboard and bright colors. The renders depicted a single port on one side.
On the left side of the MacBook Air is a MagSafe 3 port and on the right side is a headphone jack. The new MacBook Air has a black keyboard, similar to the MacBook Pro.
The new MacBook Air only comes in four colors, unlike the rumors which said it would come in five. Pre-orders for the new MacBook will start at $1199.
The leaker who accurately claimed the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros would feature a notch also provided details on the refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro.
The source said the low-end Macbook Pro would have the same design as previous models, with the only change being the M2 Apple Silicon chip. The source said the laptop would be launched in March.
The expanded version of Low Power Mode will be included in watchOS 9, according to Mark Gurman.
The Apple Watch only shows the time in Power Reserve mode. The Low Power Mode reported by Gurman is not present in the first watchOS 9beta. The feature will be exclusive to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 8.
Mark Gurman accurately reported that Apple was planning major changes to the lock screen, which would allow users to addwidgets, change the color of the lock screen, and change the fonts and colors.
Apple Pay Later, which will launch this fall, will be accurately reported by the news agency.
While macOS "Ventura" was not on our list of possible options for macOS 13, there were several rumors that turned out to be correct.
Mark Gurman reported that System Preferences would be getting a redesign that was more in line with the design of the mobile operating system. Mail, Notes, Reminders, Safari, and Messages would be getting updates according to Gurman.
The most accurate rumor prior to WWDC was that Apple was going to make the iPad more Mac-like. Stage Manager is available with the M1 iPad Air and M1 iPad Pro.
There was initial speculation that Apple would announce a new version of the Mac Pro and an update to the Pro Display XDR at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference.
There is a belief that a repeat could happen this year after Apple showed off the new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR at the conference. The new MacBook Air and low-end MacBook Pro were announced by Apple.
