Live Coverage of Apple's WWDC 2015 Keynote: iOS 9, OS X 10.11, Apple Music, and More

[Yixian]

Guys, just because you don't like modern pop music doesn't really mean anything objective about this WWDC. Your parents didn't like the music you listened too when you were in your teens/20s, now you're in their position.

Guess it's safe to buy an Apple TV for now.

 

[Joebrown]

Would love to know what the Apple Execs are going to go away and say to each other now after this?

"Another fantastic, inspirational, revolutionary keynote" no doubt. "Well done Tim"

I absolutely love Apple, and would defend it to anybody, but this has been horrific. Very sad

 

[Thunderhawks]

ikr? they talked and talked but nothing made sense

You didn't hear it PING ?

 

[HenryDJP]

He sounds like Michael Jackson!

Uh no he doesn't.

So... Who is leaving Spotify?

Not me

Cool people don't watch Apple presentations. So sure. Whatever you say.

Got to agree. Cool people are doing cool stuff right now. Us nerds are sitting in front of computers and iOS devices. The cool people will get a recap from us nerds.

 

[Even Longer]

Sadly, Apple dropped the big cat names for their OSX releases. Copycat would be the best one for that El Presidente... Umm, Capitan..

 

[JeffyTheQuik]

Oh well... another 3 months to wait for the new TV

Now to figure out what all the hubbub of the event logo was all about.

 

[laurim]

Come on.
This is not their first rodeo & it sure looks like they haven't been on the bull practicing lately.
May be too much time sipping wine & smoking cigars at their vineyard's counting money is the result of their amateurish presentation.

The only "amateurish" presenters were the guest speakers like Drake. The regulars were great. Unless you are actually in the live event business, you have no idea how hard this is to do right. I used to do a Best Buy event where the top game companies would demo the games they had coming out for Christmas. Microsoft was there and they had a primary Watchout system, a backup system AND they put a third go-to LED wall look on my iMac just in case. I miss that show because I got to see the cool games coming out... Best Buy budget cuts....

 

[HurtinMinorKey]

So they are releasing a music service that puts more control in the hands of the music labels so they can spoon feed use payola crap? Awesome!

 

[MrCornfed]

Beats 1 sounds a lot like BBC Radio 1. Might finally drag US radio into the 21st century. Great music doesn't need a label - rock, pop, country, hip hop. Why limit yourself.

I left the UK in 1999, having never listened to Zane and all I could hear was BBC Radio 1. I guess they have a sound alright.

The OS X and iOS sections were top notch. The watchOS was a bore (just because there's not much new to say). The music part was excruciating. Seriously, we didn't need Jimmy or Drake to speak at all, they were embarrassingly bad. Would have been better if it was just Eddy; he was good. I don't even know why they did that. It wasn't like they were trying to fill time.

 

[Alpine-Steer]

Yeah, looks cool, but $15mo. Sheesh. Maybe when I'm making 100K a yr. A bro's got freakin bills ya know? Or if I ever get my student loans & mortgage payed off.

Doubt apple will offer student discount either, like Spotify.

 

[elmaco]

Horrible presentation.

I can't see me switching from Spotify to Apple Music.

 

[CooKieMoNs7eR]

Still sticking with spotify

 

[biscuitsxluv]

Uh no he doesn't.

Okay, find! He doesn't!

 

[swordfish5736]

it looks like the dev program is merging into one.

 

[CJM]

Personally I'm looking forward to all the performance enhancements. A decent keynote, if a bit long.

 

[MH01]

And Apple stole their DJ. Bet they're pissed!

I doubt BBC one will be too worried by beats1. Apple is hoping to throw heaps of money to make it work, though I believe BBC one will remain top dog in the UK , by quite a large margin.

Best keynote since Steve. Glad they brought back the one more thing.

 

[Thunderhawks]

Tim Cook just introduced The Weekend. That was indeed a LONG keynote...

I think we all need to go now and lay down.

All as expected, but nothing magical.

They didn't even say , something we are very excited about right now.

Pretty uninspiring. Goes to show, most areas are matured and can only get little tweaks here and there.

 

[aloshka]

Didn't hear a single thing about bug fixes, about my damn iphone still rotating it's screen when it's in portrait mode. Crashed apps, etc.

 

[HenryDJP]

Frankly most people really only care about price. I can honestly tell you if Apple make it half (or less) or what Spotify is offering they are good to go. If not, as far as I know most people will stick to what they are using now

Spotify is missing quite a few artists. If those artists are on Music it's bye bye Spotify.

 

[bushido]

how about offline playlists? they didnt mention any important details. just the words revolutionairy and radio all over
