I think it always puts app results first, but yeah, it's possibly slower.

OS 8 was already kinda dark anyway with all the medium grey boxes.
Got a tip for us?

Craig Federighi better mention that gorgeous black trash can!
Seriously? This isn’t even funny ... Craig as a leader should be focusing more on resolving issues or mentioning resolved issues and major features on stage at WWDC than talking about a dumb icon. See directly below.
Dark mode is very useful for less strain on the eyes as constraint is better to focus on especially for those not fully having 20/20 vision. Moreover less power drain.
I just hope dark modes always stay that: optional modes. They don’t work well for my eyes at all. But I’m sure the reverse is true for others, hence options being good.
I gotta say Spotlight is a hell of a lot easier and more informative. A computer by definition in the traditional sense is still to be a lot more powerful and useful than a tablet and smartphone is in this current era. Many don’t wish to use a full out computer as a smartphone or tablet with a grid of applications. Plus the results clearly show what is a file, folder, or application in the Spotlight results.
I like to use the calendar to switch between light and dark menubar and dock depending on the time of day. This is going to be even better for using the Mac at night. Things like the finder just looks blinding after spending hours in code editors right now.
I don't care about this. All I care is that the system runs buttery smooth.
I find Launchpad easier and faster. I just prefer it for launching applications. I use my Mac for plenty of things that I can't do on my iPad, I work in IT. I have no issue with people using what they find easiest and if thats Spotlight, good for them. I just find it clunky and slow compared to Launchpad for applications. For everything else, then yes I use spotlight.
Not a fan of the News icon. Disappointed at not seeing an iPad style dock. Excited for system wide dark mode.
I like the look of it and i think it would help with eye strain especially for those who are on their Mac for long periods of time (work/home).
This year there doesn't seem to be much that we know about (the leaks haven't happened as much as last year) except this dark mode and from what Mark Gurman has said (ie No hardware at WWDC this year) IOS 12 will be announced as will other software platforms, i do think there will be a couple of software surprises in there which is good after all this is WWDC which is all about software. If it wasn't for someone finding that video the dark mode would of been a surprise for many and one that i think people want.

First thing I'll have to do is figure out how to turn it off.

Interesting. Except in January and February, I don't work when it's dark outside.
Well spoken.
I also work in I.T. (Not IT like the book or movie; it’s an abbreviation lol).
I’m very interested to know if the speed or efficiency in using launchpad, much like iOS on two devices, is due to people identifying icons for an app versus the name of an application. More curious how over two generations to more of it would affect or highlight any lack of literacy??
I cannot recall what OS X was like without Spotlight.
No. Absolutely Not. This is Mac OS, not Myspace OS. Save the kiddie stuff for the kids. Thanks.
Doesn’t really sound smart: kill of a major partnership that makes chips in high demand BEFORE transition to another chip? Hehe
Intel is already making smaller an efficient chips with Apple and tiny motherboards (MacBook) that can fit in an iPhone SE!
Moreover even with Samsung and TSMC making Arm chips still not enough for the iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks/MacBook pros and iPads and Macs.
You have. T really thought your hope through have you? I’d like to see it happen succcessfully happen too!
I don't think anyone else realises that the Mac app project was in same project as the iOS app.
Could that mean cross platform apps?

I find the differences are in -
- I just like the pinch in vs the command space, because my hand Is almost always on the trackpad when navigating.
- This is silly but sometimes I'm having a mind blank but know the first letter and launchpad will show all apps starting with that letter, vs Spotlight which won't always.
- The search in launchpad is faster for me, it lags a bit in spotlight.
- I think the larger icons do help.. I don't know
I collect old Macs so when I use pre Tiger versions of OSX, it is something I miss a lot.
Remember this is a leak not confirmed. The trash can you know and loved hasn’t yet turned into The Jetsons maid

Right on! Gotta get me one of those external trackpads.
Ah ok, makes sense that spotlight would be a default on a desktop. Unlike a lot of power users, I prefer a trackpad... I love my gestures ahha.
I want that super-cool screensaver back, that took your pictures out of iPhoto and arranged them in a Photo-Mosaic, and zoomed out to another of your pictures - repeatedly.
When I first saw this, it was truly a 'magical' experience for me. Non of this has happened to me in any Apple feature-presentation as of late.
Finally night modes are coming!!! don't have to suffer looking at bright white on the screen anymore!! Save our eyes Apple!!
