Bold MacWorld Predictions: 2008

January 9, 2008

My 100% purely speculative guesses:


  • 16mb iPhone for $399, current 8mb version gets closed out at $299.
  • Movie rentals via iTunes (this is a gimme)
  • To go along with iTunes rentals, apple TV 2.0 which will let you rent from the console
  • iTunes rentals will let you queue up like netflix and they'll download, but when you watch them the first time it will activate the 24hr viewing period.
  • More details on iPhone software SDK/third party development
  • Some mac that doesn't fit in exactly into a product silo right now. Maybe a sub-sub notebook, or a tablet (like a big iPhone)....just a wild guess. The above doesn't feel like enough for the time they've had, the iPods were all revved recently, MacPros clearly aren't going anywhere new since they've been bumped, iMacs are too new. Might just be a new MacBookPro lineup though. who knows, part of the fun.
