Rumours: Next Mac OS with Maps and SIRI. iPhone 5S for WWDC 2013.

Sources in Asia say Apple is already gearing up to make the next iPhone for mid-2013 launch, and the next Mac OS update is also pretty much a given. These Two of Apple�s biggest product launches in 2013 could share the same stage, if recent rumors are to be taken into consideration.

Around the time Apple shipped OS X 10.7 Lion, the Mac maker confirmed plans to speed up development to commence an annual upgrade cycle for Mac OS aficionados.

Delivering on its promise, the Cupertino giant shipped OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8) one year later. If the pattern holds, OS X 10.9 � rumored as �Lynx� � should come out in June, or July the latest.

Also for WWDC 2013 analysts are now expecting a new iPhone. Although Apple has shifted this update cycle to fall, sources speaking to the company�s suppliers in Asia say we should expect an incremental iPhone 5S next summer.

The same goes for OS X 10.9, which only seems to poke its head out from time to time in webserver log entries. Nonetheless, the evidence is there that Apple is working on both.

However, according to a sketchy rumor emerging this past weekend, the next Mac OS will feature a Maps implementation and Siri.

USA: Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University sues Apple over voice-to-text technology (SIRI).

USA: Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University sues Apple over  voice-to-text technology (SIRI), examining Google`s and Microsoft`s voice recognition systems.

Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University said on Monday it had launched a suit alleging that Apple's use of Siri in its iPhone and future versions of its iPad infringes two U.S. patents it was granted in 2007 and 2010 that relate to voice-to-text technology.

The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, on Friday, it said.

"We filed that lawsuit in the Texas court because it processes faster and its rulings are usually in favor of patent owners and the compensations are usually higher," said Yama Chen, legal manager of National Cheng Kung, in the southern Taiwan city of Tainan.

He declined to disclose the amount of compensation the university was seeking but said any calculation would be based on Apple's U.S. sales of devices that use Siri.

An Apple representative in Asia could not immediately be reached for comment.

Chen said the university was also examining whether smartphone voice recognition systems used by Google Inc and Microsoft Corp have infringed its patents.

WWDC2012: iOS6, Retina Macs, SIRI and more rumors.

WWDC2012: iOS6, Retina Macs, SIRI and more rumors.

iOS 6 update rumors:

 The high-profile debut of its own Maps app, which will allegedly replace Google Maps as the default mapping application on iOS.

 The  the Siri voice-controlled virtual assistant will reportedly no longer be exclusive to the iPhone 4S in iOS 6, and head over to the iPad. And Facebook is expected to receive deep integration in iOS 6, just as Twitter did with iOS 5.

The full list of devices claimed to be supported by the iOS 6 beta are the first-generation iPad, iPad 2, and third-generation iPad; the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S; the fourth-generation iPod touch; and the second- and third-generation Apple TV.

 If the links are legitimate, they would suggest that Apple plans to drop support for the third-generation iPod touch with the first beta of iOS 6.

  Also included among the list of links is an unannounced Safari 6. They include a developer preview for OS X 10.7 Lion, and a separate uninstaller.

Other banners being hung around Moscone tease updates to Game Center for the forthcoming operating system Mac OS X Mountain Lion, and updates to AirPlay, which is used to connect iOS devices to computers and televisions.

Rumors: Retina Macs

A rumor out earlier today indicates that Apple may debut an all new line of laptops, simply called “MacBook,” which will be thinner than MacBook Pro models, but with the same computing power. The new MacBook laptops are also expected to sport high-resolution Retina displays similar to those found on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, and the third-generation iPad.

Rumors of at least some new Mac computers receive the Retina upgrade appear all but confirmed give that a number of Mac-only applications have released updates to allow support for the higher resolution Retina displays.

WWDC keynote is set to begin on Monday, June 11, at 10am PT. , 1 p.m. Eastern
