Well, I was just wondering 'what' might be announced at the 2019 WWDC - of course, software updates/upgrades are usual, but much more curious about hardware - Susan's iPad Mini 4 is pushing 4 years of age but she's still happy w/ the size & performance (plus just did a battery check and only 300 cycles and 89% health); her iMac is a late 2012 model (she cracked the upper left screen corner in a fall but has had no effect on its function) - able to load Mojave but is becoming a little sluggish - would like to see a new design and would go w/ a 512 GB SSD (now have a fusion drive) - that would be a potential buy for us.

So, I was looking at a Macworld Article from a few days ago - headline shown below; jotted down some of their potential hardware expectations (there are links to each one for those interested on the above link) - will mainly be curious about the iMac question (although my MBPro is 5 y/o w/ a fairly new battery; again how many more macOS upgrades can these aging machines take?) - however, one concern is that Apple is considering 'dumping' Intel chips and will switch to their ARM processors - when will this happen and on what machines? One of many stories HERE - Dave

Mac Pro - reveal details; ready for shipment?
New Apple display - could 8K be announced?
iMac Pro update - next generation release?
MacBook - Air redesigned last year - MBook next?
MacBook Pro - 16” screen mentioned?
iMac - has been a while? Plus, new Intel chips coming out?

While there have been hardware announcements at WWDC, Theres more emphasis on the latest software and developer tools.

Cool! And on another, really shallow note, I`d love to be able to hit the swag store that pops up during these conferences....I want the freaking T-shirt! I admitted it, sigh. L
