All I kept thinking of when they introduced the Music app was PING, the epic failure it was. Honestly I was underwhelmed to say the least with this keynote. I'm sure there was a ton of programming done behind these apps and updates, but I expect PRODUCTS to be introduced that generate a level of excitement or passion. That was missing here.
No hardware = failure for a computer (first) company. A new updated aTV needed to find it's way on stage for this keynote or at least some updated hardware (macbook, iMac or iPad).
On a presentation critique, these "guests" and Apple department heads need to go through some serious training on how to give effective presentations. They were terrible. Jimmy Iovene bumbled about, the apple pay lady paced back and forth. Drake was doing some sort of hip-hop jig and talking about god knows what... Tim... Tim could put a room full of no-doze junkies to sleep with his presentation style.
Man was this one painful presentation to watch!

I assume Sonos will add support eventually. If this is a better music service (of which I am currently unconvinced) I would have to stick with Spotify for Sonos reasons.
- A smaller OS X update focused on performance and improving graphics performance which everyone wanted ☑
- Giving Siri some much needed updates on iOS along with improving lots of core apps ☑
- Giving the iPad a unique features that finally differentiates it from the iPhone in a meaningful way ☑
- Making Swift open source ☑
- Apple Pay hitting stores outside of the US including my beloved London and it's transport system ☑
- Devs getting freedom over Watch apps ☑
- iTunes getting a serious overhaul it seriously needed ☑
All of this and people are still disappointed? Yes we didn't get Apple TV updates which can be irritating but there's a serious amount to chew on from this conference and appreciate - even if admittedly the Music section went on for too long.
Can't please all folks it seems.
I found some interesting stuff in the News App but that might be something that will interest others. Everything in that keynote was for SOMEbody, not for EVERYbody.
Agree, its all about the money and the hype. There were an abundance of super cool words said, but not much substance. I'dhoped my AYV would become my single, all that I need, STB for streaming, nup.
I'm disappointed they didn't up the quality of the music to buy in the iTunes store to differentiate it from the streamed stuff and give people an incentive to continue to buy music as well as rent it. Really isn't much point buying any music on iTunes now.
To me, it was marketed as always as the be all and end all of a release, but it was more like an update, throw ion a few little things that are free, then throw an a US$120 per year way to listen to music.
Spoiler alert for the rest

What?
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicks off today at the Moscone West convention center in San Francisco, with the event headlined by the traditional keynote address beginning at 10:00 AM Pacific Time / 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
In line with tradition, Apple is expected to provide the first looks at iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, with the company also announcing a fresh push into streaming music led by a new Apple Music subscription service and a revamped iTunes Radio. Apple is also expected to debut new tools allowing developers to build native Apple Watch apps and perhaps make some additional announcements related to Apple Pay and HomeKit.
Apple is providing a live video stream on its website and via Apple TV.

No Dr Dre rapping about 'revolutionary' or 'groundbreaking' music?
I half expected to see Brittney Spears stumble around while lip-syncing "oops,..."
Pretty sad when the Watch iOS guy is the exciting presenter......
I have just wasted 3 hours of my life listening to this keynote. I hope the developers got something out of it.
Seriously.. I watched them unveil numerous things that people seem to have been clamoring about for years, and everyone glosses over it and says we didn't get anything.
I hope those people have fun complaining and being disappointed. In the meantime, I'll have fun using the new features.
So all in all great keynote, awesome new stuff announced, super excited for all these new features. Already signed up for the betas, hopefully I get into the iOS beta this time 'round.
Man oh man were those guests terrible speakers though.
Craig has great hair.

Exactly! On their video of showing how music evolved, they should have shown it going back to the radio
