No more rumours, no more speculations - this is it, the annual Apple media convention (although a little longer wait this time around) held at Apple's Cupertino Campus live tomorrow. Apple's top-notch secrecy has made any peeks into upcoming reveals almost impossible, hence rumours are flying all over the place regarding what Apple has up their sleeves in confronting the massive array of new devices of assorted operating systems available in the market and does it have enough firepower to mow down the highly successful Samsung Galaxy S2?

What to expect at the media announcement tomorrow? Find out after the break.New iPhones & Devices
Apple never misses an annual unveil without a brand new iPhone so obviously, this couldn't be missed. Speculations indicate the possibility of at least one iPhone, but there is the possibility of two as well. No one could really tell since Apple never leak their mouths but supposedly it will be the iPhone 4S and 5. Since the previous Apple's announcement in WWDC 2011, rumours and speculations have been flying all around regarding what might be the actual specifications of the new phones.
The iPhone 4S was initially believed to be the cheaper version of iPhone 4, however newer information reveals different information but most of these indicate that the iPhone 4S will run on the A5 dual-core processor with the upgraded camera sensor of 8MP, similar to what iPhone 5 will be getting. Other than that all other specifications would be rather identical to the current iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S will have a new networking chip allowing it to be used in conjunction with either GSM or CDMA networks, thus various carrier plans may be offered. Another rumour, on the other hand, states that this will be the only iPhone revealed this year - the iPhone 5 might have to grab its limelight some other year.
The iPhone 5 has been under heavy speculations for a long time. Recent image leaks from Cincinnati Bell indicates that the iPhone 5 will be granted a 4-inch screen alongside support for HSPA+ network (LTE was rumoured but pretty much ruled out now). It will share the same A5 dual-core processor as the iPhone 4S as well as the same camera sensor supporting up to 8MP. Other than that no detailed information was revealed. Further leaks of cases and the likes are giving iPhone 5 the impression of being even slimmer than the iPhone 4, on top of a larger edge-to-edge screen.
Another iPod Touch 4G clad in white might also surface under the same media convention, so be sure to watch out for it. The iPod Touch has been a great success, giving users the capability of a full iOS featured device with Retina display while omitting the telephony function at a much lower price tag.
Do note that the devices announced will not be available on shelves right away, as this is part of Apple's usual gap between the announcement and the time it ships out to stores.
iOS 5 & iCloud
There is no way you can miss this. Apple had previously claimed over 200 features incorporated in the upcoming iOS 5, bringing the integration of your phone even closer to your daily life. Major features such as drag-down notification screen (just like how it works on Android) allows users to customize weather and stock updates right out of the notification screen on top of revealing important notifications and information. With iOS 5 you can snap pictures with the volume key, the ability to jump right into the specific notification right from the lockscreen, iMessage which allows you to send message across iDevices free of charge and much more. Information regarding iOS5 features can be found all over the internet. There wasn't once Apple does not release an iPhoneX without its respective companion iOSX, so if the iOS 5 moves completely out of Beta tomorrow, expect the release of iPhone 5.
Now the iCloud isn't really anything new - it was revealed several months ago in WWDC and some features of it has already begun. iCloud was meant to be a full integration with various iDevices alongside Mac OS X. Cloud services are essentially storage or transfer over the internet which leaves no physical traces. Cloud backups are available as well, so even when you lose your iDevice or decide to change a new one, don't fret - all you need to remember is your credentials.
Tim Cooks, instead of Steve Jobs
The appointment of Tim Cooks as the new CEO of Apple was effective right from the moment Steve Jobs decided to step down from his position as he had announced that he could no longer meet his duties. Steve Jobs had been under various medical leaves, and Tim Cooks was the one mainly in-charge in his absence.
The event tomorrow is expected to be Tim Cook's brand new stage. However, he will not be the only person on stage as Scott Forstall, Senior Vice President of iOS Software and Phil Schiller, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marking Phil Schiller will be expected as well, along with several developers of hardware/software alike. People around the globe are enthusiastically awaiting the media coverage tomorrow.
The launch of the media convention is imminent. Stay tuned for further updates on here, on Seednonym.com
