Apple Sends Media Invites for WWDC Keynote on June 4

[e1me5]

My wallet is ready for a new 6 core MacBook Pro & iPad Pro with FaceID

 

[oatman13]

nearly $8M collected in registration fees!

If you think about it, that's not a lot of money. I bet that $8M only covers the cost of the event.

 

[ipedro]

Is that a round watch in the picture?

YES!

No.

It's a control slider (i.e. volume).

Everything in the picture is either code or UI elements.

So close to one year after the announcement of Messages in iCloud, they will (most likely) release it in 11.4. As for what I want? A better notification system and get hardcore on bug fixes. Save the cosmetic stuff for iOS 13. Maybe tweak here and there, but a big overhaul as was rumored (and then rumored to be dropped) for iOS 12.

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Don't hold your breath for Mac Mini or Mac Pro.

Those that have have long since perished. Some thought it was Thanos snapping his fingers, but we know better.

And iPad Mini 5 too.

 

[tipoo]

God I hope that banner is a hint at post hyper-flat UIs.

Microsofts Fluent looks great, love to see Apples take on that with depth and shading.

 

[redheeler]

Don't hold your breath for Mac Mini or Mac Pro.

The Mac Pro is pretty much confirmed to not be coming until 2019.

 

[DotCom2]

How do you use airpower with loop style bands?

Yeah, and what about iPhones with rings on them or those poppet things or whatever they are called?

 

[seatton]

I am super excited about this!

 

[n3sh]

Yeah, and what about iPhones with rings on them or those poppet things or whatever they are called?

I think they may continue to work as lot of wireless charging works through cases.

 

[Millah]

Is that a round watch in the picture?

No. Those are all UIKit/AppKit controls and buttons in the picture.

 

[Geardo_Ranger]

This is the year I am finally ready to upgrade to a MACBOOK PRO 15". I am praying for MAGSAFE to come back or some variant. I am not holding my breath though.

Apple has been well known to not fix something everyone hates instead of admitting mistake majority of the time. I hope they realize removing MAGSAFE was one of the biggest gafs they had recently.

 

[bchery21]

I happen to have this day off. I'll definitely be tuning in...

 

[44267547]

Is that a round watch in the picture?

YES!

There isn’t going to be a round Apple Watch launching during WWDC at all and in all likeliness, there will be no Round Apple Watch this year. [The only real Rumor is a 15% larger display, enhanced Battery and addtional health sensors in the Fall.] I think what you’re seeing in that picture is a slider to Control various functions.

 

[DotCom2]

What's that little cylinder thing with the 3 little holes in it?
Is that a dock for 3 little Apple Pencils for the iPhone?

 

[partsofspeech]

"Hey Siri, are you coming to the WWDC?"'
"No, Tim wants me to stay in the office."

 

[peterh988]

Any chance we see some new macbook pros?

Hoping for something for the iMac. Looking to buy, probably around back to school time.

 

[Mizouse]

Am I the only one that does not want a bezeless iPad?

I already have a hard enough time with the bezels on the 10.5" iPad Pro.

 

[44267547]

How do you use airpower with loop style bands?

For example, with the Sport loop band, it won’t lay flat. That’s why it ships in a square Apple Watch box versus the rectangular Apple Watch box like the regular flueroastamer sports band. I’m assuming you will have to remove the band in order to charge the watch or use a different band in place while its charging.

 

[dsampley]

My invite must have gotten lost in the mail

 

[turbineseaplane]

I was hoping they'd use an image of a Butterfly and insinuate that there's a re-birth happening (of the keyboards..)

 

[Andreas00]

This event is what decides if i wait for the new iphones this year or move over to android. Android is so far ahead its not even funny

 

[Jett0516]

how come this event is not at the new mothership?

 

[44267547]

This event is what decides if i wait for the new iphones this year or move over to android. Android is so far ahead its not even funny

Care to elaborate? And I’m not trying to start an iOS/android debate, generally curious How android is so ‘far ahead that’s not even funny’ over iOS. Looking for specifics.

If it's more emojis, I will be looking for the door. Siri is a joke, half their computer line either hasn't been updated for years or barely gets a bump worthy the name. Most of their accessory hardware is now discontinued (with the exception of dongles of course). I could go on. But time for Apple to pull a rabbit out of the hat to prove they are still in the innovation game.

Apple has thrown in with AR technology, but haven't brought anything to the table themselves in terms of interface or apps; just hoping developers will fill the gap. Such a wasted opportunity. Apple has thrown in with the home automation scene but only offering an API kit. There is SOOOO much potential for them to doing something innovative with hardware again or software. But all they do is let any technology they develop stagnate once invented and push out more emoji.

I agree with the sentiment here, but I think a lot of their problem lately is they are trying to hard to be innovative. They won't bother just updating their hardware unless they can think of something "innovative" to do with it as well, which leads to controversial changes, like the Macbook Pro keyboard, touch bar, and limited mac pro design. Just create some solid updates to these devices without all these divisive changes... because they try so hard to lock you into their entire ecosystem so the options are limited when they do something you don't really like.
