Gimmicks that make it harder to use their products all for the sake of forcing you to need new products. You need product A to unlock a feature on product B. It's like a freemium game designer created this Apple lineup.

Here's Apple's strategy: bore them to death for 1-1/2 hours and then ONE MORE THING!
Bring it on, please...

How many people actually have this stuff in their house?
Where is my trackpad/mouse support for my iPad Pro....bummer????
Yay. Another app to put in the 'Others' folder.
This is... embarrassing.
Can Apple really be this delusional? Every time they begin talking about an app/initiative, they talk like they're changing the world.

Eddie Cue didn't have much to say about news other than "this is the news app" "and that's the news app" "this is the all newly designed news app."
iOS is getting bloated. And honestly, iOS 10 UI doesn't look that good.
I guess that these are the reasons we dont need any hardware updates 
all the "new" services / features can be used on any actual "brand new" Apple Computer / Phone / Watch
Sad

I can't lie. I don't have any HomeKit devices yet, but that Home app is exactly what was needed to potentially make home automation a big thing.
APPLE IS DOOMED WITHOUT STEVE JOBS TBH
They're presenting existing iOS/OS X features as being new.
Dragging an image from Safari to keynote? Lyrics in Apple Music? Seriously?
I'm kinda feeling more underwhelmed than ever with the new "features" of all 4 platforms. Basically I can have them all today with a few 3rd party apps
They said the same thing with the X10 devices in the 80's...
What Apple really needs to do is make Apple Music cross platform with Xbox they need to start working with other devices like Spotify does. Apple also should also have auto BPM matching for music instead of trying to find a app that does the BPM matching and we have to enter it, iff Beatport.com can do it (which also tells if it's G major or A minor) I am sure Apple can to.
How about audio quality when will this ever change? I know a lot of people say it really makes no difference if on smaller speakers but many of us do have a nice sound system and love to hear in a better quality audio for music.

I just saw lots of fighting on TV and assumed it was about Euro 2016, but it was a riot that they haven't announced Dark Mode yet.
Ok Craig - love your preso - but do you think Apple's keynote might be out of touch with many consumers by referring homekit being able to turn on a hot tub?
