"  Yesterday morning, to kick off Apple&amp;#039;s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), CEO Tim Cook took the stage to announce all of the new products, services, and features that the company&amp;#039;s been working on in the past year. As expected, an update to the mobile and Mac operating systems was announced (iOS 7 for mobile, Maverick for Macs). Also debuting will be new MacBook Airs, a new Mac Pro, and most notable and exciting, iRadio. With so many new things previewed at once, it&amp;#039;s hard to wrap your head around all the changes and innovation. Wondering what it means for you? New Macs If you&amp;#039;re in the market for a new laptop, Apple&amp;#039;s latest MacBook Airs, which will start at $999, will offer you improved battery life, WiFi capabilities, energy efficiency, and graphics. Also coming are new MacBook Pros, better suited for advanced users, that are smaller, yet more powerful - a definite win-win if you&amp;#039;re a small business owner.  Mac OS Update Dubbed Mavericks, the new operating system (OS) will have several new features to make your computer more efficient. Welcome changes include the addition of tabs to Finder, so you won&amp;#039;t have to pull up multiple windows and the ability to tag files. Other improvements include a battery preserving feature for apps (&amp;quot;App Nap&amp;quot;), a password management tool (&amp;quot;iCloud Keychain&amp;quot;), calendar improvements, iBooks for Macs, auto app updates, and more.  Mobile iOS Update: iOS 7 has a completely overhauled, streamlined, minimalistic design: new app icons, new lock screen, new messaging design, etc. Beyond the design changes, the update comes with a slew of new features. You can access the new Control Center by swiping up on any screen to quickly access favorite apps and settings, like airplane mode or a new, standard flashlight app. An updated Notification Center will tell you everything you need to know about your day, including weather, birthdays, and traffic. Pressing the home button twice will not only show you what apps you have open, but will also provide previews of those apps. The iPhone&amp;#039;s camera will be getting an overhaul. No more relying on Instagram for those artsy photo filters: The new camera will have optional, removable filters built in. Your photos will now be sorted into smart groups called Collections, Moments, and Years. Each Year will contain Collections based on the time and location of the photos, and Collections will be sorted into even more time and place specific Moments. If you&amp;#039;re an avid photographer, these new categories will make keeping track of your photos much more convenient. The new iOS also features AirDrop, that will let you quickly and securely share anything with another iPhone user via Wifi or Bluetooth. Safari and Siri also got reboots - with Safari offering simpler navigation tools and Siri having a more human-sounding voice and male and female voice options. New security features will prevent people from accessing your data if your phone is lost (tips here if this has already happened to you).  iRadio Announcement: The last reveal of the WWDC was the new music streaming app, iRadio. Like Pandora or Spotify, the free iRadio lets you choose from featured stations, stations based on music already in your iTunes library, or over 200 genre-specific stations. You&amp;#039;ll be able to create stations based on a specific song or artist with options to &amp;quot;Play More Like This&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Never Play This Song.&amp;quot; Unique to iRadio is the option to control the balance between playing top hits and undiscovered music. If you&amp;#039;re tired of the Top 40 songs or just looking to find new music, this could be really useful. iRadio also has History that allows you to see the songs you&amp;#039;ve listened to and buy them with a click.  This year&amp;#039;s WWDC announcements definitely covered all the bases, including new computers, services, and apps, and operating systems. Most won&amp;#039;t be available until the fall, so until then, I suggest you pass the time by playing around with some of the 900,000 apps in the App Store.
