Apple News, Announcements, and Predictions for WWDC

Apple also released new iOS 7 with an all-new visual design. They are also promising that it will have better multitasking, a control center that slides up from the bottom of the screen, and touch based navigation that sides in from the left.
But with slowing iPhone sales and the rising price pressure, there was an 18% drop in earnings just last quarter leaving many to be concerned with Apple’s innovation. In response, Apple and Media Arts Lab have started to create a new advertising approach with two 60-second television spots to promote new user-friendly products. With the release of these new products, Apple expects to see a growth of 9.5% this fiscal year.

Recently releasing their new product of iTunes Radio, Apple plans on sending its stock price back to its all time high mark. Just like Pandora, iTunes Radio allows you to stream music, with ads, for free. Also like Pandora, iTunes Radio provides ad-free streaming for only $24.99 a year, compared to Pandora’s $48 service. Tim Cook’s (Apple’s new CEO) idea behind this is that if people were to stream and listen to music on iRadio, then hopefully it would increase sales in the iTunes store from users purchasing the music that was previously listened to.
