Live Coverage of Apple's WWDC 2016 Keynote: iOS 10, macOS 10.12, and More [Keynote Over]

[DevNull0]

Yeah... I'll get a really powerful gaming laptop and run linux. It's like OS X, wait, macOS, but without the emojification.

The best part of this keynote is that now it is just so much easier to leave the ecosystem. OSX is no long worth it.

To all those disappointed that there weren't hardware announcements, remember that chances are that hardware announcements today would have been minor spec bumps (e.g. MBP with Skylake and no other changes). A radical redesign likely would get its own announcement, or a significant portion of a bigger announcement. For all the talk about "no innovation," there were lots of changes announced to iOS, watchOS, and macOS. Sure, some may be catch-up features, but they are important nonetheless.

My guess is that the updated MacBook Pro is set for a Q4 release (meaning October).

 

[Janichsan]

Wow… that was far worse than I expected beforehand. No new Macs, no significant new features for macOS (e.g. new file system, improved graphics APIs), no significant updates to Photos to bring it on par with iPhoto or even Aperture, no iTunes replacement… nothing.

 

[MacHiavelli]

Craig talked about the special silicon in iOS and Mac devices.

ARM Macs coming.

 

[mscice]

wow -- no new hardware at all

watch Apple stock fall hard ....

 

[Johnny907]

Do you really believe that's who the developers conference was targeting?

Did you miss the new 'tween edition of iMessage, or the GD Kindergarten teacher demoing a child's coding app, Snaps?

 

[sprezz]

At times like this, only a BBC Micro will do.

the irony in that name...

 

[0029937]

As someone with a company iPhone 5s, based on what we saw today... in your advice or personal dilemna, would you wait for the iPhone 7 or consider a Nexus now? Not sure how serious I'm considering it but it does surprise me the thought even came into my head.

 

[Bubba Satori]

I love Tim's lofty vision and hyperbole about so many features. If you break it down - it's some nice improvements... but it's not "epic."

Hi Jony.

 

[jamesrick80]

It would be Tim Cook to leave iPad Pro as a paperweight...I wanted more pro-like features and it seems like it will not happen this year. This was extremely disappointing. I'm starting to love the idea of a hybrid tablet laptop chromebook with android apps, it's very easy for me to switch due to the limitations of iOS.

 

[kultschar]

Worst WWDC ive seen - shocking, especially since its iOS10

 

[KdParker]

is the developer site up yet ?

 

[Nunyabinez]

To everyone that gave me crap when I said you'd better dial back your expectations about hardware releases and especially the one's that said I was wrong when I said "Apple rarely announces hardware at WWDC" you can all bite me.

 

[Razeus]

I'm glad I made the right decision not to upgrade my laptop to the latest Macbook Pro (if you can even call that the latest) and got the Dell XPS 15.

The iPhone is now the only Apple product I own. I've said goodbye to the iPad, the iPad Mini, Macbook Pro, and 2 Apple TV's.

We had a good run. My iPhone is on notice depending on the next Android update in the fall.

 

[BMcCoy]

I was vaguely holding out for 'dark mode' for iPhone, as some kind of consolation prize...
But I don't think they even announced that...?!

 

[Ancinek]

Oh god, so the next iPhone is going to be a total disappointment and they also gave us this. Emojis, fun blah blah blah. I will only enjoy some of the new Sierra features.

 

[asfdasdf]

Every time I see these increasingly childish keynotes I'm so so glad to be working in finance.

 

[redheeler]

Unimpressed, disappointed. Apple did very little of what its customers want the most.

 

[The Escapee]

I have seen every single broadcast Apple Event since I bought a Mac in 2000, and that is the worst Apple event I've ever seen.

Not even close. The all-time low was an event where the major introduction was iDVD 2.

There was plenty of meat here today, but it was aimed at the people who actually code.

 

[L_dorado]

well apple.. that was awkward..

 

[apolloa]

There were NO tea leaves that Apple would hint at hardware today. Over a week ago Rene Ritchie said don't expect any hardware at WWDC. Mark Gurman said the same thing. If that bothers people so much then rather than whine and moan here they should put their money where their mouth is and go Windows or Android. Don't just talk tough. Walk the talk.

That's right mate, I believe investors are now walking the walk right now!

 

[Mums]

So I guess people are popping a blood vessel because there was no new hardware today? Even though software is where Apple needs to make the most improvements. If people would take off their stupid hardware blinders for a minute the software announcements were very good. I wish I could install iOS 10 on my devices today.

Stop apologizing for Apple.

 

[jdclifford]

Glad I dumped my Apple stock.

 

[keysofanxiety]

Thanks guys ! reading and writing the posted comments were more entertaining than the whole Keynote.

You too, wave.

Guys, it's been an absolute pleasure. Thanks to all of you for bringing a smile to my face while I watched this.

 

[skinned66]

I love it all. iMessages is my most used app!

I like iMessage too, and it also my most used app. Some of the new functions I welcome, others not so much. Overall the only other thing I really liked was the notifications and NC changes on iOS.

To be fair I only saw iOS forward live, the rest I got from the Macrumors timeline (thanks folks!) so I have yet to see the full event. But I'm not particularly blown away by anything at this point.
