Please, WWDC has clearly evolved to be more than that. There will be new hardware.

This is pretty much I what I'm thinking too. Maybe they won't discontinue the 13" MBP until they refresh the retinas though.
It's OSX 11.0, not 10.1 - that'd be the first version of OSX. :roll eyes:
People are still on this?
My god, software version number has nothing to do with decimals. Apple can go to OS X 10.1902473208 if they want to.
Every ounce of your objectivity is gone when you laugh that Apple didn't innovate with multi-touch. They didn't invent it, but they changed how we use multi-touch completely.
Yes, Mint Oreos are an innovation over regular Oreos. That's the definition. Sorry to rain on your Apple hating parade.
And name something Samsung has innovated, Google has innovated or Amazon has innovated. Something, by your definition, that one of these companies did before anyone else. Yahoo! was around before Google. Panasonic made TVs before Samsung, the Postal Service was around before Amazon.
I guess the lightbulb wasn't innovation because there were candles in enclosed containers before them right? A lightbulb was just an electric version of a candle, right? Not even an invention, much less an innovation according to you?

Reading is hard
Give me a fuc*ing break. You're another person who has said something similar along them lines. I've already said sorry.
Who's hating on Apple, not me, they make some cool gear.. however I'm trying to throw a sense of reality over ifan claims that they basically invented fire, the wheel and the best one... The rectangle.!
If posters like this that give firms a bad name..
the thing is, is that Samsung gets slaughtered for "copying" Apple wen all they are really doing is "innovating"...I.e.. taking an existing idea and making it better..
whereas Apple can "innovate"...and they are praised.by the masses for "doing it right"... The hyprocracy makes me wanna puke..
it's Apple customers that are the problem, not Apple the firm..
I see quite the opposite. I see MORE people picking on Apple than praising Apple. It's rare that I run across an Apple Zealot, but it's common-place to run across an Apple hater.
Maybe I'm living in a different world than you are.
You didn't answer the question.
Who made notebooks that lasted longer than 2-4 hours before Apple came in and redesigned battery technology. Now, you have notebooks lasting over 10 hours. Look at the iPad. 10 hours battery life. All tablets before it lasted 2 hours max. I can't even remember how long they were said to last, because no one bought them before Apple made them a viable option.
Do you really believe this is natural progression? I think it is not, because battery life was indeed increasing, but companies paid no attention to R&D in battery technology. It was increasing at a slow pace. Companies left it to the OEMs. Only Apple designed their own batteries. Just look at any teardown of their notebooks; the batteries are form-fitting, compared to other companies who simply stuff their laptops with off-the-counter batteries.
Again, on battery performance, Apple was the first company, and perhaps the only one that cared, to switch from Intel's battery draining processors to ARM chips. Yes, they bought PA Semi, but what other consumer electronic device company cared to design their own processors, or even venture into new territories and invest into the design and manufacture of each component of their device. It appears that no one, but Apple cared. Even if a company cared, it required the benefit of the economies of scale that Apple has. If that is true, which it appears it is, then without Apple, natural progression would have never led to the actual battery performance we have today, which required both new battery technologies, and a reduction in power-usage, both from software and hardware.
Here is only battery technology, but there are definitely many other things which Apple has innovated, and not simply improved progressively according to the natural progression of things.
The MacBook Air is another example of innovation, even if it is simply a reduction in weight and thickness. It is simply, but who would have cared to reduce the weight and thickness so drastically right at the introduction of it. Every other company merely reduced it slightly by a hair year by year, but Apple reduced it by half in one year. This is not natural progression, but true innovation. After all these years, it may appear that all this is nothing, but natural progression, but only because memories have been obscured, especially by all these misguided reports on Apple's innovator's dilemma, and the double-standard on Apple to constantly surpass themselves, rather than simply surpass the rules of natural progression.
Before the iPhone, there was no multitouch, not even just touch, on conducive displays available to consumers. Any product utilizing touch before than was flawed in at least one way, e.g., weight, size, battery life, performance, etc., that made it hard for any consumer to want to buy. Without a desire for these things, without demand, without a reason for investing much into it, development of touch was slow, and no viable consumer device utilizing it touch was close to being release, before Apple actually invested and motivated in the use of glass displays for consumer devices and combined it with multitouch technologies.
It is the small details that no one cares to fit together which make people fail to recognize Apple as innovative.
Pretty much. I was at a Tableau developer conference in 2012 and one of the co-workers I was with kept referring to Apple as "rotten Apple", to which another co-worker then basically apologized for owning an iPhone saying he only got it because his wife has one and wanted it for FaceTime. Of course this coworker still owns an iPhone. But he obviously felt the 'hip' thing to do was act embarrassed for owning it.
Just go to any non-Apple news site. I was just reading Ars Technica comments page on Apple v. Samsung lawsuit. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...rossed-into-the-dark-side/?comments=1&start=0. Anyone on Apple's side is downvoted and destroyed.
Fingers crossed, here's hoping.. I'm due a vacation anyway.. The conference, a week in San Francisco, accommodations at the Mandarin Oriental..
This is the last time buying an iPhone on a subsidy contract plan. I am due for an upgrade in May so some very irrational thinking going on about an iPhone being released in June.
I had hinted at an iB***Plug... but my message was moderated, it seems...
"Great" minds think alike!
OOOOooooo, I'm going to guess the squares from the invitation are Apps. If Apple is going to do ANYTHING with Apple TV this year, they HAVE to do it at WWDC so developers can write apps for it.
Exactly.
You're more of a sheep if you hate on Apple. These anti apple people don't get it.
It's OSX 11.0, not 10.1 - that'd be the first version of OSX. :roll eyes:
People are still on this?
My god, software version number has nothing to do with decimals. Apple can go to OS X 10.1902473208 if they want to.
But his goes up to 11!!!
