WWDC Preview – iOS 7, OS X, iRadio and more

Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, popularly know as WWDC, is Apple’s annual event where they announced new products alongside developer-centric events, sessions and hands-on. Strictly speaking it’s a developer playground but that doesn’t stop Apple from capturing other eyes during the keynote.

WWDC has seen plenty of hardware announcement but that isn’t even the real story. The crux of the conference is software, something more important than hardware in my opinion. See, a new iPhone lasts a year. They build a new one and we forget about the old one. Software on the other hand offers a peak into the secretive mindset of Apple.

As a little known fact, iOS can perform all of these functions, even more. How? Jailbreaking!

Jailbreaking removes any limitations on your iDevice whatsoever, so that you can do anything you really like that’s not been given to you by Apple. But this gives rise to a teeny tiny question: Why doesn’t Apple add some of these tweaks into their operating system?

Well as a matter of fact, Apple did get inspired by some of the popular tweaks of the Jailbreaking world in the past and make changes to iOS. For example recently added features like- FaceTime over cellular data network, increased productivity of Siri (Siri now opens apps, etc.), toggle for using the AppStore on wi-fi only, Do Not Disturb, those superb gestures in an iPad to switch apps, are all inspired from some very popular jailbreak tweaks.

Thus in this growing battle of the operating systems and on the dawn of the new age of iOS that comes with the launch of iOS 7 during this year’s WWDC, here are some of the jailbreak tweaks Apple must incorporate into iOS this time-
