iPhone TIPS: WWDC 2012 Game Changing News?

Will game changer Apple change another business or industry.

-by iPhone-Tips-Tricks.com - Few hours to go for the annual WWDC keynote. Traditionally the place to unveil new Apple products. Some products are as expected, but sometimes there is a surprise. So what could be the surprise if there is one to give away? What we do expect is iOS6, Siri enhanced, new Macs, Mountain Lion. And maybe an Apple TV SDK to create great apps for Apple TV owners? How about new partnerships or game changing news? My wish for example is that Apple utilizes their cash (they have a lot of them) to reinvent a business like they did with the music industry (iTunes, iPod) and mobile phone industry (iPhone, iPad). Do I have suggestions? Yes, how about buy some big mobile network operators, stick a Apple logo on it and importantly: make them provide 3G/4G internet service for a fixed price a month without the unreasonable hidden costs. Let say you buy an iPhone 4S for the full price and have great 3G/4G network access without up and down limits for $10 a month? why not, everyone would go for that right. I really hope Apple will do that one day, and maybe not today but soon, change another industry to make things better and better worth the money. We wait and see not today then tomorrow.
