Reallllly hoping that girl is looking at the screen of a 16" M1_ MBP. I just can't see them trying to cram highly anticipated new macs and iPhones in a fall event.

Can't believe it's already getting close to WWDC. Where has the last year gone? Into the pandemic void, I suppose.

Anyone know what these four icons are on the far left?

People still talking about an April event need to realise they wouldn't announce WWDC before that. iPad Pro will be a press release. There is no April event.

unless they give out an invite a week early before a date in April (like they did with the Air 4/ 8th Gen iPad).
Otherwise yeah press release possibly or none at all

The right one is the SF Symbols app for macOS. The left one I cannot see well enough, but it might be the Transporter app.
 
I think that this announcement means that Apple’s Developers Conference is starting June 7th. Any other guesses or assumptions are just that-guesses and assumptions. Some may prove to be true, or like a lot of other tea-leaf predictions none of them may be true. Leaks and rumors from sources known for usually being accurate may make some of the predictions here in this thread more likely, but as of today I don’t feel like guessing what will be revealed based on an animated face and a lot of people’s hopes and expectations.
 
Others may disagree, but I would love to see iOS, TVOS, iPad OS, and macOS all have the same major version number going forward. While I love we are finally on macOS 11, I think consumers would better understand if all the versions where equal. And for universal apps we just check for major OS version being > 14.
No disrespect but think logically about this. The only people that care about version numbers are techies, nerds and forum junkies. The majority of the world that buys computers and phones and sees a software update available just clicks on it and installs it. They don't care about version 11,12 or 99, let alone care of iOS, iPadOS and MacOS have the same version number.

LMAO you're trying to imagine which model Mac a Memoji is using? Go outside and get some fresh air and enjoy the spring. 😂
 
You realize it's a stylized cartoon, right?

Really? I mean really? :eek:

Good grief, of course I recognize it's a freaking stylized cartoon. I'm rather shocked you even asked since everyone else got the joke - accept apparently you... :rolleyes:
 
I don’t see any value in Apple announcing hardware at WWDC. There is no hands on area for the press following the keynote.

Last year‘s keynote was really tight and in under 2 hours. I don’t think they are going to want a virtual event to go any longer than that.

Hardware announcements will happen when they are ready, and if there are no significant services or software offerings to talk about with them, I really don’t see an event - simply press releases with a slick video.
 
Maybe, but it could also just be they wanted the reflection of the glasses as a way to show what was on the screen.
Strongly agreed. And they're dev tools. As much as I would like Apple Glasses (whatever they may be) I don't think I'll want to be deploying projects via the cli in Terminal on my glasses.

Two icons: Transporter on the left and SF Symbols on the right. (Edit: I just caught the other reply and added it in here.)

Begging for features? I'm in! How about a freeze button in Safari to prevent automated refreshes. I know of several sites that auto reload on a short timer, which collapses the content I'm currently reading. I end up having to re-expand the content and scroll back to where I was. I assume that is to drive more ads and appear like more clicks.

Ideally: load page to where I want it, hit freeze and the next actual click releases the freeze automatically. Power to the users!
That’s annoying as well. ESPN website is the main one I use daily guilty of this.
