Full Transcript of Apple's WWDC 2014 Keynote: OS X 10.10, iOS 8, and More [Keynote Ended]

[Simoleon547]

No Phil Shiller? Hopefully we'll see him in a few weeks...

 

[LordQ]

So that compatibility list raises a question: Do «iPad with Retina Display" refers to both, the third and fourth generation iPads? :O

 

[mojolicious]

Not to go on grammar patrol, but it can have an apostrophe if using plural possessive, which the apostrophe would go after the s.

Obviously.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

apple's new site just went up now.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

Did they not announce device compatibilities?

They did announce it very quickly at the end, starting with the iPad 2.

 

[bradl]

What, no payments integration? BOO!

No, but they give you the means to BYO. So BYO.

BL.

 

[HenryDJP]

Best WWDC keynote of all time.

Here Here! When Apple lays low for a while they are usually working on something BIG. I mean, hardware aside, without great software like this you end up with a very basic experience.

 

[xmichaelp]

Why would you expect hardware at a developers conference?

I'm absolutely baffled why people have been expecting hardware

Exactly. Why do people want rMBP updates? For 100 mhz? Why retina MBA? Apple will release that when lazy intel releases broadwell. There's nothing to update.

 

[MacSince1990]

Finally.

It is Apple's most massive software release since the introduction of OS X.

Now it needs the serious computer hardware to go with it.

I'm not sure anything you just said is remotely true...

 

[kalsta]

A Swift language guide is available now in iBooks.

Not seeing it there yet.

 

[dragje]

huuuuge dissapointment here. Besides some nice new add ons and twitches in the new both OS and iOS system nothing is groundbreaking, noting!

Yes, the new swift languance is compelling, and yes it's impressive that everything works just a bit faster, smoother and in some cases nicer all at once.... but groundbreaking? Leading? Showing a new direction?

Nothing!

It's all very very vague...home systems? Nice, but no products that works with it still, cloud sharing like foto's? Nice, but jawbreaking? Not really, tweaking widgets, cool? Sure, but nothing that will chance my way of working with a mac with the exeption maybe when I can get phonecalls now on my deskt, but hey, there where tools out there that enabled that feature all ready....

So, much vague new direction, a bit more shiny desktop....but seriously? Is that worth watching?

The criticsters stating Apple lost it's inventfullness will be able to state they where right. And this, this is not good for the Apple stocks if Apple doesn't come up with some new annouchement soon.

Love Apple products but this was a dissapointment for me.

Anyway, life goes on, so does Apple. See you later.

 

[Snookerman]

What's the URL for the Yosemite public beta sign-up? Is it up yet?

It's http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/ but it's not up yet, it just redirects to the Mavericks page.

 

[bdizzle]

OSX 10.10 and iOS 8 betas now up for download.

 

[Bare]

So no iPad multitasking / split-screen as rumored.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually do include this in iOS 8. They may just wait until the new hardware events to announce and demo it.

 

[threelions]

Another disappointing release of iOS. Woooo 3rd party keyboards....finally. Predictive text keyboard....WOW...finally. Widgets in notification area....Weeeeee....finally. All stuff that Android has had for years and years.

I will say, that iOS 8 does have a lot of good stuff if you're a dev.

It's the difference in approach between companies, Android = throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Apple = Wait to see what's successful and make the best(in their minds) version of it. Would you prefer Apple be like Samsung? Release about a hundred different devices a year just for the sake of it? Or rush out a device and have it fail just so they can say they were the first?

I have Android devices and I have Apple devices the biggest things people make a fuss about on Android are Widgets and Keyboards personally I couldn't care less about either but if you like them, now you have them.

 

[Appl3FTW]

I just want to say the Yosimete and 8 are both GORGEOUS...

Craig FTW, and thanks MacRumors for an excellent coverage, esp the live feed. WIN!

 

[D.T.]

I’d LOVE to attend the inter app communication session(s)! Of course, the keynote isn’t expected to have much in the way of details, but it’s +all+ about the details.

Was the iOS interface to the cloud share still silo’d? It almost looked like there was some concept of a multi-app repo, like a shared “documents” folder[?]

I loved what I saw of swift, it had a nice, clean, elegant looking syntax/structure, as I mentioned before, if you squint a little, it looks like Ruby (my current favorite for web/API/backend services).

 

[WAPilot]

EPIC Fail

No new hardware announcements? really? Boooooooo! iOS 8 and OS 10 look great but it's time to upgrade the MacBook Pro people.

 

[HenryDJP]

But I'm a girl not a dude! HAHA.
I was part of the complainer!

And what exactly did you truly have to complain about today....that you saw better elsewhere?

 

[Amazing Iceman]

So that compatibility list raises a question: Do «iPad with Retina Display" refers to both, the third and fourth generation iPads? :O

Yes. the iPad 3 was the one actually called "iPad with Retina Display"

 

[stockscalper]

According to Timmy a third of Android users are using a four year old OS. He seems very familiar with that old OS as IOS is just now catching up to it. Glad to see IOS finally getting some of the features Android has had for more than four years. You're still way behind IOS, (not to mention ugly) but you're catching up a little.

 

[macosxuser01]

Why would you expect hardware at a developers conference?

I'm absolutely baffled why people have been expecting hardware

developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, /claps claps*

 

[Trapezoid]

I can deal with them floating around the regular threads, but during a keynote they're a serious pain to have to scroll past when you want to honestly hear what people who, you know, intend to USE the software/hardware being described are thinking about the announcements.

I cannot imagine spending 2 hours watching a keynote from Samsung or any other Android manufacturer, even if they had one to watch (do they? I have no clue) because I'm just not interested in what they're selling.

Yeah me either, I use android so id watch an android keynote but no chance I'd register on a Windows forum to tell everyone how much better ios or android is.

But again, the mods allow it, so why would they stop

 

[rwilliams]

What, no payments integration? BOO!

The hardware needed for that doesn't exist in any current Apple devices. If that is coming to iOS, you'll see it demonstrated when they debut the new iPhone in the fall.

Yes, the iPad Air is the iPad Air And it's not going to support the iPad 2 and then leave out the iPad 3 or 4 is it? It wouldn't look very good on them as a company if they did.
