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

[brinary001]

Why would you expect hardware at a developers conference?

I'm absolutely baffled why people have been expecting hardware

Well Apple used to announce the new iteration of the iPhone every WWDC. It wasn't until the 4S debut in 2011 did they switch to Fall rollouts. Not to mention the first MBP with Retina was announced at the 2012 conference.

But yes, seeing as how that has become Apple's trend as of late, it is a little silly to now assume any kind of major hardware updates at the annual conference. It would be awesome though to get the iPhone 6 about three months earlier!

I would have liked the announcement for an App Store for the Apple TV, long time overdue if you ask me. Bummer.

 

[Navdakilla]

The Samsung wages must be good, you guys are in full force today.

lulzz

ya right bro.. People just being real

not a fan of today

Very surprising and unexpected - ObjectiveC is being replaced(?) by Swift.

At this point in time, "supplemented" would be a better description, although clearly they are hoping Swift catches on in a big way. Swift and Objective-C were stated to be interoperable and to be very easily intermixed.

I assume that ObjC will be phased out slowly? I can't imagine that iOS8 / OSX10.10 apps can be written in swift only? ObjC will still be supported for a while yet?

No reason to take away ObjC any time soon-- it is some new syntax and a new compiler front end.

 

[brianvictor7]

Me too. I just bought a new cMBP yesterday!

Hey congrats!

Keep believing that if you want to. Never seen 1 virus in my 4+ years of using Android.

Don't you get it? Android is the virus.

Google are thinking bigger.... self driving car will change the world (... 3rd party keyboard on IOS... not so much).


Roll on Google IO !

Will you be able to buy a self driving car this fall?

 

[allistera]

Thank god Objective-C is getting replaced! Don't know many people who love it.

 

[HenryDJP]

you know me, I'm usually pragmatic and critical of everything. (i'm not against apple's products in any ways, I just like being critical of EVERYTHING).


But I actually am quite impressed by today's keynote.

There was a lot of meat here. Its questionable whether its' all good. i have quite a few questions about WHY certain directions were done, or why certain things were allowed.

But I dont think anyone in their right minds can deny that Apple actually put a lot of substance into todays presentation. A lot of good new to apple features.

Again, time will tell if it's for the better or not. But its going to take quite a few days /weeks before we can really delve deep into all the stuff announced today.

The only thing I was baffled about is the new Photos App on the Mac. Why would it take until next year for them to release that? How could it not be ready by fall? How complex of an application could it be?

Sadly all that auto-tethering demo'd will be blocked from us unlimited plan AT&T customers rocking since '08

Yeah, I'm in that boat. Sucks, but there's still no beating this plan (for the money).

Things they copied from Android:

Keyboard
Hey, Siri (OK Google)
Responding to texts in notifications (can do this on the LGG2)
Videos previews in the App Store
Photos/videos on the Cloud (except it's free on Google)

Am I missing any more?

Also, still no WIDGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its all about pulling away andriod users to Apple.

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

So, all software. Hmm... Guess we'll have to wait for October?

 

[omenatarhuri]

My work phone is Android, never bought anything but Apple myself - so before you start trolling around, get yourself together. The presentation showed NOTHING that will move Apple into a new era of technological advancement. There was not one shred of new feature that makes Apple better than any competition. Stop being a fanboy, and be a sensible consumer using brain over "faith".

Well, software-wise there's plenty of very cool things here.

Hardware, sure I would have liked to have seen some new iMacs or even the fabled watch or tv. But those would not be 'that' original either.

 

[mosser]

Metal

They are doing it wrong - metal for os x now!

 

[jabingla2810]

The best WWDC I can remember, some HUGE new features here that will change the way iOS and OSX are used in big ways.

 

[vomhorizon]

Can i access full scale apps from my phone on my computer? Like send a whattsapp message for example?

August?

Thanks!! I seem to be completely incapable of finding it using the Mac's iBook Store search.

More like August/September.

 

[akbarali.ch]

i was not much impressed with the front end of the iOS8 but behind the scene iOS/Mac's dev stuff, pure awesomeness.

Can't watch at work, I'm in a stupid 3G area and can't stream. Can anyone be kind enough for a quick recap?

Nope he's right. If you watched the whole 2hrs and came away with NOTHING then the problem lies with YOU. But hey, feel free to keep telling yourself what you want. The rest of the world will be busy marching on with their lives.

 

[Ollifi]

Somenone, please link to the Full IOS8 feature list picture, I missed it! Thanks

 

[dansix]

So you complain they copy Android, then complain that they haven't copied Android? Maybe time to take your pills lol

Well, if you're going to copy, copy one feature everyone wants.

This is like saying you never got a virus on Windows, so they don't exist.

Malware on android is pretty well documented.
