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

[AppleInLVX]

That was a pretty poor keynote... And I'm still confused what exactly Apple Music is... Sounded like Pandora on Steroids?

...while trying to shoehorn the corpse of Ping in.

 

[thewayfaerer]

Well, I really love many of the things that apple does. But their taste of music is a different story...

 

[tonyr6]

Worst keynote ever.

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.

They don't openly discuss bugs like that. It may or may not have been fixed in iOS 9. You just have to try and see.

I don't mind the music service, just as long as there is more than just "one sided" like Spotify focuses on classical, but has jazz, dance. pop all sorts too, but u never really have the same amount...

I wish Apple would fill that gap.

(26 seconds to post... i can't wait that long, sorry MR))

Did anyone else wish for that laser beam to set fire to his stupid hair?

I am not getting that time back, at Least it just cost me some beers , and and 2.5 hours, feel sorry for the developers who paid good coin to sit through that. Ouch!!!

 

[MrCornfed]

Uh no he doesn't.

Okay, find! He doesn't!

Yeah, he does though!

 

[movieator]

ikr? they talked and talked but nothing made sense

"So, uh...when you press on this thingy, it's supposed to do something or other...."

 

[Aragornii]

$180/yr for the music service? That sounds pricey relative to what I get from iTunes match for $25. Any time my kids want to listen to a song on demand they just pull it up on YouTube for free.

No dark mode in ios9?

 

[doelcm82]

Not for a developer. WWDC is not meant for entertaining consumers.

My post was made hours before the event started. I can also tell you the score of next year's Superbowl before it starts. 0-0.

But it seems that you think the actual keynote was boring for consumers.

Still confused about Apple Music. And that performance was awful.

No dark mode in ios9?

No dark mode in OS X

 

[indieshack]

feel sorry for the developers who paid good coin to sit through that. Ouch!!!

..and got up at 4:00am for the privilege of doing so...

 

[HenryDJP]

Yeah, he does though!

Uh then versions of MJ's voice you've heard must be of low bit rate.

Any news of whether they are keeping iTunes Match..

From: http://www.apple.com/music/membership/

Does Apple Music work with iTunes Match?

Yes. Apple Music and iTunes Match are independent but complementary.

No dark mode in OS X

There is a dark mode in OS X already ...

They don't openly discuss bugs like that. It may or may not have been fixed in iOS 9. You just have to try and see.

Snow Leopard was mentioned to fix bugs, and performance enhancements. Most people still think that was the best OS released by Apple.

 

[robertojorge]

Was that lip synced? Sounded like it to me.

+1

 

[bjjp2]

Can someone translate--is Apple Music like subscription Spotify? i.e. you can play any song in their library on demand?

 

[apolloa]

So i will need to read up on the Apple Music properly as I had NO idea about all it's features from that mess of a keynote, and they could have hit a home run with it! They should have had making Swift open Source as the 'one More Thing' as the crowd of developers liked that.

 

[biscuitsxluv]

Yeah, he does though!

Okay! Yes, he does!

 

[Nausicaa]

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

Or whether it's compatible with things like Sonos?

 

[xgman]

Just how many $10 per month fees are we supposed to suck up till we have had enough?
