Let's hope the specific features is not drag and drop, I'd like to have that on my Air 2

Maybe you will, I think there will be specific features for iOS 11, drag and drop would be great but I'm also hoping for more Pencil features on the iPad Pro. On the Mac side I wonder if we will see more Touch Bar features?
 
I've been still limping along with my spec-maxed 3rd gen iPad 3 since 2012.

I really want to buy the 10.5" iPad, but I will only do so if it has a normal audio jack and 4GB of RAM. Otherwise, it is a deal breaker, and I'll just get a cheap android tablet.

I'm willing to pay a premium for an apple tablet due to the longevity that I received out of my current iPad (and how wonderful the battery has held up over time) -- but I will not sacrifice a normal audio jack nor having less RAM than other current iPad models. In that case, I'd rather just buy a cheap "disposable" tablet every year.... an android.
 
This is it for me, make or break. 2011 Mac Mini on its last legs. If no update then its Windows for the first time in my life
Same for me. 2011 Macbook Pro here (15"). I don't think I need to say any more about this model. :) It's still working fine, but it's getting long in the tooth and can go at any time.
 
Totally feel your pain. I personally don't think mac desktops are 'worth' it. They have too limited options/configurations/upgradability. I don't foresee them going back to easily upgraded devices anytime soon if ever, so you'll be left with whatever they offer is all you get to choose from and the mini seems like a red-headed step child at this point.

Over the years one develops a way of working and figuring out personal usage requirements, which in my case ended with no longer needing desktops. (last one was a G5 iMac)

The convenience to take along what is on my computer is perfect, even though one can access most everything from dropbox, iCloud or other cloud services.

Running 2 MBPs 2015 in clamshell mode with the freedom to add whatever display size I like and with nothing upgradeable past switching out the SSDs with 1TB versions everything else is hooked up to an OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock.

Used to have the "Pro" towers, but eventually was honest with myself and admitted I didn't need that type of power. Many users overthink or overstate what they "need" vs. what they are really using.

Couldn't do the 2016 MBP for all the known many reasons.

Also, again over the years the keynotes have become cumbersome to watch and I am no longer willing to waste time on minute changes or entire fields I have no interest in. (I know , just me:)

The summary at the end is just fine and in defense of ALL companies, there isn't so much new to invent in smartphones and lap tops.

Apple products are very well made and hold up for a log time, so I only replace what really dies or needs a version from this century. My iPad 2nd gen is still fine and I find myself reading more on my iPhone 6s Plus, so a larger iPad will eventually be in the cards.

I think Apple is leaving a lot of money on the table by not combining the mini with the aTV and get into gaming.

Home voice assistants are not for this old fart. I can still get up to switch off the light etc. etc.

To all who enjoy long presentations about stuff we know already from MR, have fun:)

Why set yourself up for disappointment? This is exactly the kind of feature segmentation Apple has done in the past few years. My guess is that even the iPad Pro won't be "capable" of this. It will "need" an A11 chip.

I think the iPad Pro 12.9" will have this feature after all it is very powerful, however there will probably be features that are reserved just for the Pro line up, it's going to depend on how much they are updating the software for the iPad this year. Maybe the 10.5" iPad Pro will be used to show off a couple of those features.
 
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.

6 months in to my Windows 10 replacement of Mac OS and still liking it. No issues to report - it's running just fine and the hardware is every bit as good as my Macs were.

3 months in to my Android replacing iOS and still liking it. There are quirks as well but iOS has them too.

It's customer re-enticement, the first time they care about switchers

There is a session about touch bar this week so I expect them to release an external keyboard for the iMac sooner or later
 
If Apple came out with a new good laptop I'd buy in an second. So need a new laptop for once. Where in the past in a lot of cases I could use one but it was more of a want.

Here's to optimism

That would be great :) i would love to add it to my current iMac. I wonder if that's what the "Magic keyboard" reference code was that they had to file in Russia? along with the iPad's and Mac codes.
 
Just wondering why there is always so much negativity on these threads? If you have that much disdain for Apple why even take the time to be here, let alone post?

I don't think the negativity is necessary, but why does it bother you so much? If you have that much appreciation for Apple, should the negativity mean nothing to you?

The fact is that last WWDC was very disappointing for those of us waiting for hardware. And the software updates were minimal at best. People have reasons to expect some disappointment, but I think this time it's actually going to be exciting. This may be the best WWDC in a while. And I think my optimism is worth it.
 
When checking the Apple website with Safari on my iPhone SE, the store link says, "We will be right back", but scrolling to the bottom of the page all of the individual store links (Mac, iPad, iPod, Watch, etc) are active, except one. The only Apple Store link that says "We will be right back " is the "Accessories" link, which would indicate that the new product(s) being introduced today at WWDC will be Apple Accessories.
