Being able to share those badges is something that will be really big. I'm not much of a sharer of stuff like that but even I found myself wanting to show off my achievement the other day! Even if only over iMessage to my wife.
 
I simply don't see any reason to buy apple watch, or any other smartwatch. Guy that is talking about apple watch now apparently agrees with me, since he isn't wearing one either :D
 
For a keynote targeted to developers, there sure seems to be a lot that is aimed at everyday consumers. Is this a marketing event or a developer event?

I would hope that developers were more aware that many of these new capabilities were already available on other platforms. I say this only because in the past, Apple has sometimes gone after other companies who have mimicked Apple's features. Instead Apple presents some of these new features as revolutionary.

As one who uses Apple, Android, and Windows devices and applications, i do see an eventual common set ofcapability expectations. But to limit your tool/device choices to only one platform or vendor means you may not always have the best tools to help your life or job.

So lots of good developer info buried in a consumer commercial.

Would be great to see WWDC and the keynote evolve back into a true developer event with tech content for HW and SW developers.
 
Apple Watch.. Terrible. The first time in how long that Apple "forgot" to provide a sales update. Afraid to disappoint I suspect.

Being able to use third party apps with WiFi is going to be fantastic!
 
Your privilege is stated wonderfully in this post.
2nd generation US citizen of Hispanic decent from SoCal. Sorry pal. No silver spoon. Left home with $100 in my pocket, joined the military and earned everything I have since with effort and time.

Privilege excuses are loser talk. Earn you position. Equal opportunity, not equal results. Results are based on you. When you fail point your finger and say it must be privilege. The rest of us will be on the train to the next station.
 
Sorry but I am bored now since Apple Watch still not that great I will wait few generations down before I start caring for Apple Watch.
