WWDC June 8: New Macbooks and iPhones?

A quick look at Apple's online store shows that the white plastic Macbook now has better specs than the aluminum unibody Macbook: faster processor, faster RAM, and identical hard drive. This can best be taken to mean that Apple will announce a new version of the unibody Macbook at WWDC next week. Oh, and keep an ear to the ground for a newer, higher-capacity iPhone, since some sites began advertising a 32GB Jesus Phone... only to quickly take those ads down.

Among the new rumors surrounding a new iPhone version (other than higher capacity) were those of a built-in compass and *gasp* video-recording. Note: iPhone does not enable user to fly.

Don't you wish you waited another week?

Oh, and if you're attending WWDC at Moscone Center (San Francisco, June 8-12), please try to steal a few pens for your humble Truemorist.

I don't think we're gonna see a new line of macbooks at this point as they've only been introduced this last october, but I think you're right, they're gonna get big upgrade and maybe prices will be lowered? That could kick-start sales and satisfy user demands.

Also, the iPhone is given. I would expect Apple to put out some false rumors, but at this point I'd trust most of them as they've been reported by different sources. Personally I'd like for it to get an OLED display, but Apple would probably wait a few years for the technology to thoroughly develop into a more stabile platform. An OLED display would, however, dramatically improve battery life and could even make a better display than the current one in the iPhone 3G.

Another hope would be an early Steve Jobs return as a "One more thing ..." moment. I think we'll see a great WWDC, and I hope people will take a lot of pictures at stands and the presentations.
