Economic Snapshot: Predictions for the Apple Developers Conference

By Minyanville Staff Jun 05, 2009 1:50 pm

Our unscientific poll.



June 8 marks the start to this year's Apple (AAPL) Worldwide Developers Conference, where the House that Jobs Built is poised to reveal some exciting new features for its leading products. As always, the convention is shrouded in secrecy, but rumors abound that the new operating system -- Snow Leopard -- will be shown off as well as a revamped iPhone.

But prior to every Apple event, bloggers lend credence to every rumor they hear and leave readers baffled as to what will actually occur.

We don't do rumors here in Minyanville - so here are our predictions as to what to expect.
