With another new year in our life, its time to know what’s going on under the hoods of tech giants we are following. As we are covering Apple, and other tech giants on our blog, we also would like to deliver you the inside report of the main giant we are catching and thats Apple. So its time to give you an exclusive look of the reports which we have been looking on from couple of weeks from different sources. We have been continuously reported by sources that different kind of products are currently under the axe of Apple and getting their final look to see the day light in 2012.

Apple is already being highlighted by media due to no new design updates of Apple TV and other products of there, but all the things come in the way to confuse the actual readers and fan of Apple gadgets. However, now we are here to let you know which devices are actually rumored to come in the year 2012 or we will hear about them in this year by Apple niche blogs and research firms. Actually in Apple related rumor mill, we mostly rely on the research firms analyst who always screw the whole rumor mill and introduce a new product or gives a new twist in the story. Well, here we are not talking about those sketchy rumor analysts, we are here to clear you which things might be coming or will be introduced by Apple in WWDC’ 2012.

In the last few months, we learnt that Apple is highly rumored to launch the iPad 3, Apple TV (iTV), and iPhone 5 obviously.. Along with all these Apple is pointed to deliver some new innovations in the market. In all these above mentioned products, we have seen Apple TV (iTV) on top, as many big sources are currently betting their reputation on the rumors and then the next generation iPad, which is said to be coming in two flavors, the low-end and the higher end with Retina Display, A6 processor and double battery.

Here are the most targeted devices, which are said to be coming/introducing in 2012 by Apple

Apple TV (iTV):

It’s not the first time that we heard about it, in past several times it has been hinted that Apple is working on the HDTV, which is to revolutionize the cable market totally and to screw down the business of cable providers in the market. Apple is rumored to deliver Apple HDTV with iCloud, Siri, AirPlay and Photostream like features by default. Initially Apple is said to be delivering two flavors of HDTV in market one with a 32 inch and the other with a 37 inch display.

iPad 3:

Just like iPad 2, the next generation iPad is also rumored to have the Retina display, along with the successor of the A5 dual-core processor, A6 – a quad core processor by Apple. iPad 3 is also rumored to sport the double battery, and dual back LED to bring quality light on the screen. A source hinted that iPad 3 will be slightly thicker than iPad 2, as Apple is forced to use two LED’s and double battery in it. On the other hand, next generation iPad is also said to be coming in two flavors, the low-end and the higher-end. Apple is rumored to deliver iPad 3 before the WWDC’ 2012 on Steve Jobs birthday in Feburary.

iPhone 5:

Once again, here we are with the term iPhone 5 in the market. Finally this year, Apple will introduce its next generation iPhone with completely new revolutionary design and new features like Siri or something greater than Siri. Apple is rumored in past to deliver totally new looks of every product by Apple in 2012. So in this year, we will for sure see new stuffs in the market by Apple.

On Side Devices:

 iPod Nano with turn-able display screen which will help users to fit it in anything like watch, and other stuff.

Mac OS X 10.8: We have already seen a number of visits from the next internal betas of OS X 10.8 on our and other friends server. So we can hold hearts to see anything related to it.

These all were the thoughts and thinking which we made up for the viewers to know, what should we expect from Apple in 2012 !

According to the schedule Apple takes less than two weeks after WWDC, Apple has just uploaded the this year’s session videos to the Developer Portal and made available them for only the registered users who has signed up for their developers account, also allow registered developers to download the files through the iTunes. Firstly the page of WWDC 2011 videos went online for few minutes yesterday night, but the videos were not available yet. But now the videos uploaded to the portal and available to download both in SD and HD from the “developer.apple.com/itunes”

They are totally 109 video files of the WWDC 2011 session uploaded to the portal, which covers the all new feature topics of iOS 5 such as, Notification Center, iMessage, and new iCloud Features, the videos also covers the new features of Mac OS X Lion and memory management. The videos are available to download and watch directly from the iPhone 4, iPad and Apple TV, Mac and iPod Touch 4G.

The official Developer Videos webpage hasn’t been updated yet to reflect the changes, but the 2011 Sessions are available on iTunes.

Categories covered at WWDC 2011 include:

• Apple Platforms Kickoff
• App Frameworks
• Core OS
• Developer Tools
• Graphics, Media, and Games
• Internet and Web

Prior to the news of Apple pushing out a new update for the OS X Lion Developer Preview 4, we got our hands on some screenshots of the new Login screen as well as a video uploaded by Fmorbec. The new login screen seems to have a dark background with some shiny area, having the Apple logo in the center and Shutdown, Restart and Sleep links at the bottom.

The healthy point is that you can even modify the configuration to make your login screen ask for your username and password. This can be seen here

Adding to these features, we also saw a display of Clock, a Wifi Menu, the computer name and the IP Address too. The circling around through these informations is achieved by clicking on the clock.

Apple has need more time to gain trust of Performing Rights Society, who ensures composers, songwriters and publishers that all will receive their fair share of their work, from Apple’s iCloud service. It’s reported that iCloud is initially launched only for U.S residence users, but now it seems that iTunes Match, new service by Apple is also limited to the U.S users only at the current time, will not come out for U.K users until the 2012.

A music executive at one of the major record labels, who wished to remain unnamed, said: “Tentative talks have begun between the major labels and Apple in the UK. However, all talks are at the really early stages and no one expects to see the cloud music service live on this side of the pond until 2012.”

Even Apple is still struggling in making deals with independent labels, here in the United States, so as with the initial and beta launch of its iTunes Match and iCloud, Apple will took little bit more time in dealing with all labels and in making available their service for all over the world. Mark Mulligan, VP and research director at Forrester Research has commented on Apple’s current condition:

These types of negotiations take a long time… For one thing the UK arms of all the major record labels are biding their time and waiting to see how the service affects download sales in the US before they sign up to anything.

After announcing several new products and features in the keynote at WWDC 2011, now Apple was in the mood of shopping and goes to shop some bulk domains. Apple has just purchased almost 50 domain names to protect the names of its services like iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion from being abused, but Apple has done much more than saving the name of its services it also purchased the some goodies including names like “macmailconversationview.com” and “pcfreeiphone.com”.

Amazing thing is, Apple has didn’t purchase domain names for its hardware products like isad.com or ipods.com, but now the purchase of 50 domain names, clearly suggesting that Apple is in the move to protect its services name and can bet a lot of money on saving the name form being abused.

Here’s some good examples of what Apple has picked up.

• airplaymirroring.com
• itunesinthecloud.com
• macgestures.com
• osxlionairdrop.com
