    It means that the next gen Apple Watch will be announced. Included in the watch will be a new sensor that could measure humidity. It's software will use that data to warn you of "rain in five minutes".
    No, the Dark Sky complication already does that. All those lines refer to third-party apps built around a "big idea".

    The big news?

    iOS Light.

    A brand new OS made for $100-$300 phones built by other hardware makers. This version of iOS will have less features but will be able to run smoothly on less advanced hardware. Just like current iOS has some features left off for older iPhones. 

    This will allow iOS and Apple to penetrate the sub $300 market and triple the amount of iOS users worldwide. It will allow iOS to compete with Android in marketshare across the globe. Since iOS Light will not be full featured like the normal iOS, canibalization should be minimized.

    Don't forget Steve Jobs licensed MacOS many times in the past.


    Steve Jobs never licensed MacOS. Ever.

    I think it means that there will be a new, efficient way to view all your most important information (news, sports scores, weather, notifications, etc.) at once, like Google Now.

    Please improve your website before you criticize Apple's product development
    That's a d-ck move. Someone actually has the balls to put their real name online and you make personal attacks on him and publish his photo rather than commenting on what he says

    I'm hoping it's "Apple-VR", Apple's new VR headset, VR development API, and VR App Store.
    That would require Apple to care about graphics, and they don’t.
    tell that to their chip designers and metal teams.

    Apple’s announcing the purchase of a dating website. ...a dating website that I thought was still up (and was going to link to here), but isn’t. Cupidtino.com.
    Apple’s entering the poultry production business.
    Apple’s offering improved trail mapping services for national parks, as well as better iWatch support.
    Apple’s entering the chauffeur rental business.
    Apple’s offering in-home relationship counseling services.
    Apple’s making a professional architectural application, focusing on the creation of roofing (because existing software is, honestly, absolutely terrible at that) and intelligently placing lighting within a room.
    Apple’s breaking their tradition and creating a porn sharing app that automatically, well, you get it.
    Apple’s allowing the elderly to give their pacemaker a kick by tapping the iWatch.
    Apple’s releasing the weather control service from Back to the Future II.
    Apple’s legitimately going to give every one of their users six seconds of renown in a random field of celebrity.
    But definitely not a car.
