Apple Confirmed iOS 8 Release Date – MacBook Air (Retina) Might Come Along
According to a report at Gottabemobile, Apple has finalized the iOS 8 release date. There’re also some chances to see Apple announcing OS X 10.10. All this will happen on June 2 at Apple’s annual WWDC show. MacBook Air with Retina Display is also said to be come along.
Though, we all know that Apple’s WWDC is mainly dedicated to the software development. So, that makes some sense when we talk about iOS 8 or Mac OS X, but MacBook Air (Retina) doesn’t make any sense as we’ve seen Apple refreshing its MacBook Air lineup a few weeks ago. If there were some plans for MacBook Air (Retina), then it was the right time to unveil it. Anyhow, we can’t say 100% about Apple’s upcoming plans. We aren’t much far away from 2nd June that will tell everything.
Surely, OS X 10.10 and iOS 8 will be the starts of WWDC event. There’re lots of rumors being popped up around the tech society for both of the operating systems. The OS X 10.10 is likely to pack an iOS 7-sort-of redesign while iOS 8 won’t be much different from iOS 7 released last year. But, there’ll be a new app dubbed as Healthbook that covers health issues by tracking heartbeat, sugar level, sleep, steps and a lot more. Upgrades for Apple Maps and Siri are also supposed to come with iOS 8.
Take this post as pinch of salt as nothing has been confirmed by the Apple officially so far. We better suggest you to wait until June 2. Have something to add to this story? Please share your views in the comment section given below.

We’ve seen one of the cutting-edge smartphones from its competitors like Samsung, Sony and HTC. So, Apple needs to fill every gap that could be risky. Like, if Apple comes with less Megapixel counts on the camera, smaller display and dull design, then it would be difficult for the company to stay in the game. Let’s find what the rumors say about the Apple’s next big thing.
We have been hearing different rumors and reports that suggest a thinner and sleek body for the Apple iPhone 6. We have also seen lots of iPhone 6 mockups talking about the slimmer contour. So, all this hype makes us believe that Apple will bring a slimmer and sleek design breaking up all of its traditions that stop it being inventive. It’s likely that iPhone 6 will pack a 4.7-inch display as it is the most believable size that we could expect from the company.

One thing which we can say 100% about the iPhone 6 is its new Healthbook app. It is all-in-one medical center that tracks your blood pressure, sugar level, respiratory level, sleep, steps, heart rate and a lot more. Definitely, the app won’t work itself. For this, Apple will have to announce another device. For many it would be the long-awaited iWatch that could debut along with iPhone 6.
