Apple's Online Store Goes Down Ahead of WWDC Keynote Later Today

Brace yourself...."Apple not innovative anymore" comments are about to rush from haters
Waiting on a compelling upgrade for my personal MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013, i7, 8GB, 512SSD). From 2010 to 2013, I upgraded every year as the pace of changes was exciting and those changes were actually useful. Now, I use a 2016 MacBook for work which disappointedly has very similar specs and similar day-to-day performance--given it is 3-years newer. A MacBook update with 16GB RAM, 1 or 2 TB storage, thunderbolt 3, and TouchBar would likely make this a purchase today. Otherwise I wait another year or consider going back to a MacBook Pro--at least I would be familiar with the outrageous cost, as in 2008, I upgraded my last 15" MacBook Pro to dual OWC SSDs ... with a total cost right around $4k ...
I really hope we get to see the A11X in the iPad Pro. I'd rather they wait until the autumn if they can't do it now. I'd love to see an iPad crack 7500 or more in Geekbench multi-core. Although, looking at the benchmark history, an A10X could probably crack 6500 without too much trouble, which is still nothing to sneeze at. But it would be pretty weird to come out with an A10X right before the base model iPhone 7s or whatever is below the "Pro/Edition" gets an A11 that is probably just as fast and possibly even faster.
The store is down so there must be some new hardware today. But it may be an updated Macbook Pro only and the rumoured Siri speaker may just be announced and not available to purchase, we'll find out soon
I always block off a few hours for the keynote on my calendar. Nobody on my team knows what "World Wide Developer Conference Live Stream" means. And technically app design and testing is maybe 10% of my job, so why not?
Right? I get excited about what they reveal, but there just didn't seem to be any energy or excitement on the part of the presenters. I mean, maybe they have known about this and rehearsed it so long that it is old news to them, but there just wasn't any energy. I was thinking last year that they should have just released it in a press release and let WWDC get on with its real business.
Apple doesn't do innovation anymore, they only maximise profit by doing what-ever gives them the most money and try to spin it by tacking a "positive" word to any controversive user hostile decision (a.k.a "courage").
I'm going to guess you will be buying that Windows machine, i don't expect any Mac Mini. On the plus side you will likely come running back to MacOS at some point, the person next to me is a big Windows fan and gamer and is going down the hackintosh route as all his games have MacOS support and just cannot take Windows 10 anymore, he spent most of Saturday re-installing it all again after Windows 10 did some update and messed up his PC... again.... he cannot take it anymore. Its messing up too frequently, he can no longer just switch it on and game. Its update, update, break.
That is true, I think they may want to announce the iPad Pro 10.5 if they have some iPad specific features to demo on stage as well.
Let's hope the specific features is not drag and drop, I'd like to have that on my Air 2
thats why every other company is starting to or has gotten rid of the headphone jack? k bro
