There has been a flurry of Apple rumors over the last week or so, and I thought that I'd list a few of the more interesting ones here for my readers:
- iPhone OS 2.2 :: Gizmodo reports that the iPhone operating system will be updated to v. 2.2 on November 21st. While no one is sure exactly what this update will include, some of the "hoped for" features include copy and paste, walking directions, public transit route information, and direct downloading of podcasts.
- New MacBook Air Casing :: AppleInsider reports that Apple may update the MacBook Air's casing, to replace some of the aluminum components with carbon fiber, in an effort to make the MB Air even lighter. Specifically, the prediction is that in the not too distant future, the bottom case will be made of carbon fiber.
- Snow Leopard :: MacRumors reports that Apple may begin shipping its updated operating system, OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), in the first quarter of 2009. However, it should be noted that Snow Leopard is expected to be a "smaller" update than OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was, with fewer new features.
