I actually liked several of the updates, especially for Watch OS 3 and iOS 10, and I don't even own an Apple Watch. With that said, several parts of the keynote were horrifically cringeworthy, and the macOS update was pretty lackluster. To top it all off, 20 minutes of talking about the messages app with no Mac hardware updates/announcements with the 90% of the Mac Line still outdated.
Oh, it says you're a newbie under your user name. Don't you know you're not supposed to post about reasonable expectations here in response to these threads?
I thought it was a pretty well done presentation with some worthwhile news, myself and some amusing moments. I think it was good they let more lively speakers than Tim present the bulk of the information. Could it have been better? Sure, always. But it wasn't bad. I think maybe they took up a little bit too much time repeating some points when they could have expanded discussion of some things Craig F talked through very quickly.
But they made it clear how some key consumer features were going to work and gave developers an idea of where they could go with some of their newly allowed access to previously walled off features.
It was cool to me, as a parent, to see that little girl at the conference. It gives you an idea of how you can get your kids involved in development on a more accessible level to see what they are doing with Swift Playground. Perhaps we can turn some of the creativity they currently expend on Minecraft to create something else cool and perhaps even useful.
I was a bit disappointed they didn't announce a dark mode for all of iOS. But I agree it makes sense to save that for the release of OLED displays. They certainly dropped enough hints that it's on its way.
I was working so I missed the beginning with Watch OS and I again had to get back to work and cut out when that woman was in the middle of explaining Swift playground. I look forward to watching it all in full tonight with my family.
Jaded adults may not care about the changes to iMessage but I know several kids who are going to go nuts when they see what they'll be able to do on their iPads, iPods and iPhones in the Fall when they text each other. I think the beloved Poop emoji might take a backseat for awhile.
Since this IS MacRumors I'll follow tradition and say something mean. I thought it was lame that the One More Thing was a video that recapped everything to an annoying soundtrack.
Man, this was an awful WWDC.
Some nice features on every OS but nothing earth shattering.
Endless demos of ordinary features.
Some of those Craig/Cue jokes are starting to get old. Time to move on.
Too many presenters (iMessage couple, lady on Music demo and Swift Playground woman)
Lack of hardware.
I have been following keynotes for many, many years and this one is one of the worst ones.

Don't you think it might be a good idea to let your children play at their age not learn development/programming and start their careers when they are 9? Studies after studies shows it's beyond unhealthy to a child psyche when they aren't able to be a child. I feel bad for the girl. Clearly her parents put up thousands of dollars, set up expectations that she will eventually fail. Sigh...
Go outside and play. Whatever happened to children being children. Or are all children raised by ipads now instead of parents?
That's what I was wondering, myself. I'm thinking it IS an issue or they would have bragged that everyone could see it. Of course iMessage currently only works between Apple devices so im guessing anyone using any Apple device should be able to see the new emojis. I could see the Apple Watch emojis on my iPhone texts. Well the few that my husband sent, anyway.
this is like an interactive learning game though...
I do agree w you that kids are spending many hours behind a tv, but is that bad? I did the same watching tv when I was a kid and was able to play many outside games throughout my childhood. Kids these days need friends and places to play safe that is what we are missing. When I was little we used to grab skateboards as makeshift goals and start playing soccer w random kids that were playing games around the area. Nowadays you do that and your skateboard/ball/pants are gone
Please remind me what products were announced in 2011, 2014 and 2015.
Who says they can't do both? Kids play. They get bored. They get hobbies. Mine likes to crochet. All of the kids seem to like to build Minecraft stuff when the weather is bad or they have some downtime without their friends.
I think it's great a little girl has native interest or was encouraged to pursue an interest in tech. Nobody seems to bat an eyelash at a little boy obsessed with his science kit or a little girl sitting quietly knitting or making beaded bracelets, but if a little girl shows up at a developers conference why assume she was coerced into it? She looked thrilled to be there to me.
They released the rMBP at WWDC, so you guys need to get over yourselves. We all know its geared towards developers. That's still doesn't rule out hardware updates. Plus, on the Mac side, several Macs have been without updates for years. I don't think it's out of line at all to expect some kind of announcement or update. Sure, if you all you care about is iPhone, iPads, and Apple Watches, the last 6 months have been joyous. If Apple were to not update or refresh the iPhone, iPad, or AW line with no keynote time for a year or two I'm sure you three would be singing kumbaya.
Probably a gif or video of it?
IMO they basically integrated a new version of imovie inside the messages app...
such a horrible idea IMO, but at least its "DOPE!" (shake the whole screen)
I just wonder how much longer the iWatch will be around until it has a silent funeral? I know quite a few people who dashed out to buy them and now no longer wear them.
don't forget those deep looking eyes at specific developers from china that were in attendance. "see we mentioned you now give us an app stat".
Look up the confirmation bias. You conveniently ignore that in 2011 they didn't announce and the past 2 years (2014 and 2015) they didn't either. It's clear that they have been moving away from WWDC and using dedicated announcements. So maybe you need to get over yourself.
Agreed. I'm a desktop person, always have been always will be, and Apple not updating the Mac Pro in 3 years is insulting to me as an Apple customer. Either update the Mac Pro like all their other products or discontinue it and be done with it. Ive been thinking about taking a break from Apple for some time now and after watching this WWDC, the decision is clear. I'm selling my Mac Pro and I'm going to take a break from Apple. I will reevaluate my options when Apple does announce new desktop hardware. Disappointing...
Dunno. Turn your phone off. Then the screen will be nice and dark. Just how you like it.
People need to get over the China issues. The US and Europe are saturated.
People crapped their pants when Apple had the first lack of year over year growth and then turn around and complain about how they are sucking up to China. Where do you think the growth is going to come from?
China? ding ding ding.

This is the worst WWDC Keynote in a very very long time...
That's not confirmation bias, they didn't release hardware at a number of WWDCs before the rMBP. Actually read my post, my point was that just because it's WWDC doesn't mean there's no chance for hardware. Again, I already acknowledged that I know it's software focused, but it's not unreasonable to expect some kind of announcement given they've done it in the past and the lack of Mac updates. Good try though.
