It was last October when we first saw the official screenshots for the Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) – the next version for OS X 10.6 Leopard – which is expected to have its official release date on the summer of 2011.
For the past couple of months, the new OS has been revealed countless of times; in fact, it was too many that when Apple reveals it today at the WWDC 2011 event, it isn’t as exciting as when the media don’t have any clue what it is.
For the last-minute updates before the event starts, we manage to unearth more tidbits for the Lion OS, and nope, this isn’t the usual thing you already know so proceed with enthusiasm!
So the first one is all about giving the new platform a capability to run the new versions of AirPort and Time Capsule – two new hardwares that are expected to be announced at the event since it was pulled from the Apple shops a couple of weeks ago.
For its User Interface, expect that the look and feel of the new OS will be similar to what you have in your iPad. Yes folks, I don’t know if this has been said to you before, but the OS X Lion is all about melding with the iOS for Smartphones and Tablets – the Mac app store, full screen mode, stackable folders, etc. — you name it! And we hope to see more later.
As for its predicted release date, 9to5Mac believes it should be announced on June 14, and just like what we reported before, it will be delivered both on Apple’s online shop and you can download it on the Mac App Store as well. Price should be similar to the previous cost of Snow Leopard.
