Only next Monday's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote will reveal what was only rumor, and what was spot on. But that didn't stop a pair of analysts -- Van Baker of Gartner and Ezra Gottheil of Technology Business Research -- from placing bets as to what will make the news June 8.

By and large, they were much more conservative than the aggregate pre-WWDC gossip, and took the line that while there will be much Apple will talk up, there will be less than the company faithful want.

New iPhones: Almost everyone, including Baker and Gottheil, are in agreement on new iPhone hardware. While Apple won't put new iPhones on sale Monday, it will certainly preview them, as now-absent CEO Steve Jobs did at last year's WWDC, they both said.

"They'll have new [iPhone] hardware, probably with a faster processor, likely with video capabilities, maybe with a few other new features," said Baker.

Video, in fact, has been one of the ever-present rumors for the iPhone, with buzz about everything from video recording to . Gottheil was on board for that one, too. "I won't be surprised if Apple adds a lot to the new iPhone, such as a compass, a microphone and speaker, a better [still] camera or a video camera," he said.
