Today it feels like Christmas. It’s the day of another Apple event. This one promises to be massive because of the expectations that Apple executives set a few months ago, and for the venue chosen.

This is what I predict we’re going to see. It’s just a game, so let’s play.

iPhone

Two models of course. A 4.7” and a 5.5”. I am still not sold on these sizes, as I find the current 4” the perfect size to keep your phone in your pocket, or to use it with one hand.

The 5.5” phone will be the top of the line and it’ll cost probably $100.00 more over the same specs 4.7” model. iOS 8 could have been customized to make it more useful on the bigger screen, such as a special landscape mode that allow the user to see separate areas of an app.

During the presentation, I hope Apple clarifies how it solved the problem of using a 4.7” phone with one hand. If it were for me, I’d keep on buying 4” phones for this reason only.

I’d like to see the iPhone promoted as your central hub for payments too. It’d be great if I could only carry the iPhone with me, and leave the debit/credit cards at home.

iOS 8

Tonight we’re going to be busy installing it and update all the other apps. Box.net updated their app last night already.

iTunes Radio

I’m still waiting to see iTunes Radio in Europe. I’d love to see it extended here too, but maybe we’ll have to wait for Beats Music being integrated into iOS.

iWatch

It’ll be stunning, packed with sensors, integrated in Apple’s payment system, HomeKit, and CarPlay. But in all honesty, Apple will have to convince me during the keynote that I need an iWatch.

Feature wise the iWatch will be inferior than many similar Android devices on the market but it will be deeply integrated within Apple ecosystem. This will allow the device to be more useful than the competitors.

I expect Apple to iterate quickly and release new iWatches at a very fast rate, each of them with more functionalities.

My advice is to stay away from any Apple’s Release A product. Wait before buying it.

HomeKit

We’re going to see the introduction of products already integrated into HomeKit, opening the market for easy and seamless home automation. The market is already flooded with many solutions, but the vertical integration that only Apple can achieve is going to change this forever.

For the moment, let’s just relax, have a glass of wine and watch the keynote. And of course tomorrow we’ll start reading the usual Apple is doomed predictions…
