Owners of recent models such as last fall's iPhone 5 will likely be eligible for free upgrades.Īpple riled users of its gadgets last fall when it kicked out a beloved app using Google's mapping service and replaced it with its own Maps app. It will be called iOS 7 and will come with new devices expected to go on sale this fall. Monday's highlight is expected to be an updated version of iOS, the software that runs iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. Although CEO Tim Cook has said people shouldn't expect new products until the fall, Apple is likely to preview how future products will function in its unveiling of new services and features. The company's stock price has fallen amid concerns that another breakthrough product isn't imminent. This week's event comes at an important time for Apple. If the speculation is correct, it would be the most radical design change since the iPhone made its debut in 2007, showing consumers that phones could do much more than make calls and exchange messages. This year, Apple is expected to show off a simplified look on iPhones and iPads. It also announced thinner MacBooks with high-resolution screens. Last year, Apple used the conference to announce its own mapping service, better integration with social networks and improvements to virtual assistant Siri. But the major announcements are expected during Monday's keynote presentation. Apple is expected to reveal a digital radio service and changes to the software behind iPhones and iPads on Monday as the company opens its annual conference for software developers.Īpple hasn't said what it will unveil at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
