Nothing wrong with two green weeks in a row. Purported ‘Foxconn insider’ shares details on iPhone 8, Siri Speaker, Apple AR glasses, redesigned iMacs and more has random bits of information about future products supposedly leaked. We will see how many of them are announced at WWDC, or even eventually released. Somehow, having the Siri speaker unit look like the trash-can Mac Pro seems very unlikely to me, given the horrible reception to the Pro. I would think that Apple wants to excise any memory of that blunder ASAP. I do think that IOS 11 should include a significant Siri update if they do intend to release a speaker for it. There also seem to be some indications of an updated Music app, with the inclusion of original video. Will it be renamed the Media app? Having decades of purchased music and two sons who manage to keep me somewhat up to date on newer acts and releases, I've never felt the need to really investigate the Music app very deeply. What to Expect at WWDC 2017: Software Updates, Mac Notebook Refresh, New iPad Pro, Siri Speaker Possible has more information about the expected updates to the various Apple OS's, which certainly seems to be more on point for a developer's conference. I am still wondering when the first event at the Steve Jobs Theater will happen. I think we all may have gotten a bit too excited by the announcement of employees moving in on April 1. Surely, the new iPhone announcements have to take place there, right? RIGHT?!?!?!? Unless WWDC is a huge disappointment, this should certainly be a good upcoming week for AAPL.

Apple could announce a cure for cancer (subject to FDA approval) and APPL would revisit the lows of (choose your poison). Haven't you learned anything after all these years?

PED put this out from RBC as to their expectations for WWDC ~ it looks like EVERYONE is expecting the same thing. I'm hoping for something more but I guess we'll see:
“Top 5” Expectations For WWDC
Updated iOS: AAPL will introduce iOS 11, a redesigned OS interface that better accommodates features of the iPhone 8 (no physical home button, etc.), MacBook updates: AAPL will update devices with the latest INTC processors (Kaby lake) in addition to new MacOS, Siri-enabled Smart Speaker: Apple could announce a new hardware product that will compete with Amazon Echo/Google Home, iPad Pro: A new iPad Pro with faster processors and software features, and tvOS and Watch OS updates: Update software stack for both. Drilling down on No. 3:
Siri-Enabled Smart Speaker: We think AAPL could announce a new Siri-enabled speaker device similar to Amazon Echo/Google home. Key differentiation for AAPL’s home speaker product could be: better speaker/ sound technology and integration with AAPL’s HomeKit. A Siri-enabled smart speaker product should be a positive for AAPL particularly if it – 1) provides a new growth vector for AAPL services and 2) enhances the stickiness of Apple ecosystem.
Maintain Outperform at $168 price target.

She's a vocal Cavs fan, then there's this: It is not known if Durant and Rihanna know each other personally, but Durant did admit back in 2011 that he had such a crush on the Barbados-born performer that she would be his ideal "wife" and once successfully asked her to wish him happy birthday on Twitter.
