I want to know what the guy in the light orange is holding. It looks like a book, but why a book? Doesn't look like a notebook because there's no darker keyboard. Wouldn't it be cool to be a folded tablet?

A frustrated dude ripping his new 10.5" minimum bezel iPad in half that it still has 4x4 rows & crappy big iPod Touch OS?

Jeez, this thread is just chock full of salt. What on earth is up with y'all? WWDC doesn't start for another 3.5 days. Don't judge until the keynote actually happens.

"iPod Touch OS"
Fam, it was previously called iPhone OS, not iPod touch OS. And even then, the iPod touch didn't launch until almost 4 months after the iPhone 2G initially launched.
So beta 1 of iOS 11 will probably be signed off tomorrow.
It won't be signed off until before or after the keynote on June 5, most likely.
 
I can't wait! My quick list of wants:
  • Advancements for iPad Pro operating system
  • Massive improvements for Siri, including more data sources and contextual queries
  • New iPad Pro and Siri Speaker hardware
  • Dark mode
  • Customizable control center
If rumors are true, you'll likely get everything you want except customizable control center.

Did anyone find any hidden meaning in decorations yet?

I was thinking about this very thing! In the decorations, I see what looks like people getting together in groups, which could mean that this year's WWDC will focus on social interactions and how people can use Apple technology to share with one another. I hope it means that networking will be a major theme throughout Apple's hardware and software offerings, particilarly in the enterprise space, which Apple has ignored for far too long. What do you see in the decorations, imran? :)
 
There's going to be riots if no new hardware is announced after all the rumors
For some reason there are always rumours of hardware being announced at WWDC even though the Developers' Conference is really about software. It's not like it hasn't happened that hardware is announced but it is far from a certainty.

If there is a new Apple device that developers can write software for we could see it. Otherwise I think people are setting themselves up for disappointment. WWDC simply isn't about the hardware.

Every Apple keynote with Tim Cook at the helm has been one embarrassment after the other. Everything from Cue's "dancing", Schiller's asinine Mac Pro boasting to that awkward WTF-moment with U2.

Past history is not on Apple's side.

Those were all old WWDC's. Heck, not one of those have been recently. Neither 2015 or 2016 was an embarrassment. I know that because I watched both of those keynotes, including the WWDC 2013 and 2014 keynotes too.

Let's hope it's about a more networked ecosystem to enable easier sharing between users, and not the "avenue" concept and Apple classes that's been implemented in the Apple Stores, that would be such a let down.
