Apple's WWDC keynote has wrapped up for another year, and the company this afternoon posted a full video of the event on its website.

I've been on this site since 2003 and a Mac user since the 90s. I am NOT part of the "Apple is doomed" or "Tim Cook is the worst ever" crowd.

That said: this was the most underwhelming keynote I've ever seen from Apple. No new hardware is one thing, but the software they announced has SO little of interest that I really have to wonder what they're doing over there. WatchOS, as the newest OS, has the most room to grow and failed to introduce any of the most important changes, like new faces (except the one pride face), 3rd party faces, always-on, or even always-on during activities.

iOS and macOS are obviously much more mature and have a lot less room to grow, but what they announced was so minimal that both updates feel like a .X update, not a X.0.

Flame on, but I just didn't see more than one or two things to be even interested in, let alone excited about, all keynote.

I think refinement is what is coming from Apple in this software only update. To some this will be disappointing but it has been said the relentless pace of updates has resulted in 'core rot' setting in. What will really give direction for the future is if the change in pace has been to address many software issues, if not well this was a missed opportunity and sets the negative stage for future apple. This may also mark a shift in their cycle of products and updates which maybe in the end, a positive change to the cycle. However, considering the demands on the product line for updates, let downs are likely later in the year.

As Job's would do, a pruning of the product line is probably in sore need.

So for the main OS the list of things to come are:
•A GUI feature we had in 1990.
•iOS apps that most don't use, but now take up valuable space on your hard drive.
•Improving the store so you can give Apple even more fo your money.
•Supposed 'privacy' features that won't ensure any privacy from Apple swiping what they want. (yeah, I don't trust them)
•Group FaceTime, which already existed in free programs like Skype and Discord.
•A meaningless 'stacks' function that does the same thing as existing organizational functions in Mac OSX.

So in summary, reheated repeats from previous OS's, but now with a bigger price tag and flashier advertising.

Oh, and STILL no new professional desktops.
But, hey, we have talking unicorn and poop emojis now.
Progress. *facepalm*

I'm quite easily disappointed by keynotes but actually this one was pretty decent. Maybe no blockbusters but lots of quality features.

iOS/OS X cross platform support would be the megaton but I guess that's 2019 as rumoured.

I'm with this guy. Same boat, long time Apple user/ MacRumors reader. I was hoping to see at least some of the below:
  • new Mail app
  • new iOS design
  • ability to flag text/iMessages or mark as unread
  • dark mode
  • more customization for widgets
  • better handling of notifications

The thick of it
I'm watching it now. USDZ looks awesome and has the potential to be a game changer in how we interact with our devices. AR was an interesting novelty, but USDZ makes it useful.

Edit: I just saw the demo of Siri Shortcuts. That looks amazing too.

You're still considering macOS to be the "main OS". Apple stopped thinking that way years ago.

Everyone clamors for stability and such, but when they do that they are lambasted for not enough new features. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I'm pretty happy with a number of things that were added. Podcasts on the watch, competitions with friends, the new workout features, and shortcuts for Siri to name a few. The bottom line is the ecosystem in its current form does much of what I want it to.

The animoji/meomji looks kinda fun, not that I will use it much but I am not the target audience for that. Not everything needs to be a productivity or pro feature, these devices are used for enjoyment too after all...

Edit...
All that said.. Holy buckets tvOS might as well have not even been mentioned. Could've done one slide about atmos support and had that been it lol. Would've liked to see some kind of picture in picture mode and support for the Hue Sync app, but I knew those were pipe dreams. Other than those 2 things I cannot think of much else I would want out of the Apple TV.

Mean while Siri is still deaf and unhelpful as a fence post
I think this has something to do with the microphone of the phone. Siri on the HomePod is incredible at hearing me from across the house and understanding what I say.

It's funny - this set of announcements was bigger for me than many previous unveilings by Apple. I literally yelled "Yes!" out loud when I heard about Dolby Atmos support on ATV4k! Othering things I'm super happy about:

0. Dolby Atmos on ATV4k (put here again because it's awesome!)
1. Dark mode
2. Group Facetime (this is going to be huge)
3. Google Maps on Carplay!!!! (I cannot add enough exclamantion points... so here are a few more: !!!!!!)
4. Instant Siri access on Apple Watch (no need to say "Hey Siri" when raising the watch).
5. Home on MacOS (this is HUGE if you have a homekit house)
6. News on MacOS
7. Bedtime DND

These might seem like small things... but these are all things I interact with multiple times everyday. These are smoothing over rough areas (or holes) in capability that will make the whole ecosystem more user friendly. REALLY looking forward to these updates!

Totally agree with bbednarz here. They pretty much signaled months ago that most of the work this year was going to be on stability rather than new features. Nonetheless, there are three things that I really enjoyed hearing. I like the fact that you will be able to soft program Siri to manage certain functions. That has the potential to alleviate a number of headaches with various things that she should be able to accomplish. Better search capability on photos is pretty nice too. And lastly, I am overjoyed with the no signon for AppleTV. There was no bigger headache than having to log into channel app after channel app.

What the hell price tag? MacOS is free for years.
I agree with your other points.
[doublepost=1528156110][/doublepost]This release makes you wonder what their developers are doing all day. For an entire year.
Maybe Cook’s ‘all must get along or don’t get promoted’ management style is locking innovation at team level?

when I first saw "Stacks" I was wondering, "how is this different from smart folders with cover flow?"

Is the video working for anyone? All I get when I click the link is a web page with "Here's what we announced". No video.
