Obviously. Just making an observation.
Really liking the new keyboard, though, and excited to start playing with Swift.

That's important. I need clarification on the whole Family Sharing thing.
If it's not as good as individual user accounts (dammit), at least it's an effort to mitigate the lack of it.
The developer side of things are certainly a big change. I think this is going to see apps make a big jump in capability or functionality. Although there no major changes overall for the general public, I think the small changes will make a big difference in how we use our apple gear. Can't wait to see them rolled out
No hardware announcements was a little disappointing though. Not unexpected for me but does make the anticipation a lot worse. Be nice if they can sort iTunes Radio roll out which is long overdue. In the UK and still waiting
You say that as if the UK is some prime market for the Apple business.
LOL I bet it won't run iOS 8 very well if iOS 7 was any indication. I think it's time to upgrade.
I'm just always surprised at how many people think they'll release hardware at a Developer Conference, it's mostly always software related and people then feel hard done by expecting something different...not saying that's you I hasten to add...
To answer your question, it's very rare for Apple to announce hardware during WWDC, however I can't remember exactly the last time they did.
iBooks built in. Not from app store.
I see battery usage stats on a per app basis.

Why do you think Dead? Pioneer's aftermarket headunit upgrade comes out in a mere few weeks.
Honda this year and many others this and next.

Didn't they announce the Mac Pro last year? And MacBook Air and Pro the year before?
That's kind of their way. I won't point out who "they" are because I will get banned.
He mentioned it. That was the Hey Siri thing. They already announced it. No need to announce it again.

2009 WWDC: iPhone 3GS, maybe more
2010 WWDC: iPhone 4, maybe more
2011 WWDC: ???
2012 WWDC: new macbook refresh, macbook retina
2013 WWDC: New Airports, new macbooks, Mac Pro trashcan preview
2014 WWDC: null
It's rare for there to be no hardware.
I don't even understand how this got started. Why the photos icon in particular?
To be honest I can't remember as I'm a little overwhelmed by this Keynote. Having said that most people when they refer to hardware announcements during WWDC refer to iPhone and iPad...or that could just be my take on it...
It feels like we've reached the point where the big announcements are not so big. I'm not really interested in any of this, I'll take a newer bigger phone in September though.

Every year - so last time was 2013. Duh.
Excited about allowing system wide integration for third-party keyboards. SwiftKey your pitch now.
