OK, enough of being a curmudgeon. Of course many of the features that Apple introduced to day will be rejected by customers. However, their strategy seems to be one of proposing many and then culling the ones hardly used. To be honest, I'd prefer to see how Apple is trying to track down and kill bugs than generating new features, but hopefully they've done both.
Got a tip for us?

So.. a few analysts made a prediction.. shocker.. I thought after Ming-Chi Kuo made mention of the later this year release we'd see some hint over it. Again, where are the announcement points from here to Fall? What do you do with a late stage (the latest stage afaik release cycle) of MBP hardware refresh. Never expected it to be sold, but just like every other preview they could have talked about the new programmable bar, new technology devs could be hacking on now for Fall release.. you know, like they've done in the past.. but.. Naaaah...
Home button is fine, it's not where the problems are . By the time that phone launches, your stock might have dropped by a margin.
Developer portal shows Xcode 8 beta for download as well as the other Operating system betas.
1.35 is the floor?
You know most of the market is down today right?
And you fail to note that not every year has hardware as the big news. Many times it is just software. So , this random year of no hardware is nothing new.
More cloud, more Apple Music tie-in, more emojis (not one to hate on them, but Jesus ****ing Christ did they stress this bit...), watchOS finally seems to be the 1.0 release people had expected. Mind you, still no new hardware.
macOS got little more than a honorable mention, tvOS is... well... beginning to do things the way you'd expect them to be done.
Siri - apparently still needs an internet connection, but sure, the processing of my personal preferences is so important to be run locally. Don't mind macOS shifting files, possibly very sensible files, to the cloud. Sure, I see no conflict of concept here.
Swift Playgrounds... Don't tell me the roaring applause came because devs expected for kids to get just another educational app (as if there are none, as if one can replace a good teacher...)
No, that applause was in anticipation of finally being able to code and maybe even compile on the iPad, if just for a quick fix on-the-go.
You know, just like how you can fix HTML, Javascript and other scripting and markup-languages on the go and deploy them from an iPad.
Whilst I can't say they didn't have SOME things to show they really had to stretch a lot to fill those 2 hours if you ask me.
Very underwhelming.
As per usual.

One word, disappointed. I really wanted something tangible. In particular, I wanted an Apple Watch 2 and Apple TV 5th generation with 4k output. I'm also not happy about macOS dropping support for 2009 systems, it's unfounded. I use a retrofitted Mac Pro 2010 with dual Xeon X5690s, 64 GB of RAM, 512 GB PCIe based SSD, and Nvidia Geforce GTX 980, by all accounts my system is faster then Apple's latest fully decked out Mac Pro. However, I fear that in the next edition of macOS they will drop support for it.
If the iPhone 7 is indeed just a slightly boosted iPhone 6 as rumoured, I think Apple could be in trouble here with no new innovative iOS
Um, don't come here and read the comments when you're in a good mood after a keynote?
this was really boring... nothing new exciting.
Everything was predicted. I guess we are still stuck with the pro machines from 2013 and 2015!

A few things were OK (clipboard sharing). But the rest... geez, what happened Apple? They literally had nothing and spent time showing off emojis.
Down a buck eleven so far and still dropping. Generally stock price going down AFTER a major conference isn't a good sign, Snaps.
Siri for Mac = now I can be frustrated on my phone, pad, and Mac. Triple play Apple!!!
Everything that was presented today - just is disruptive. Ease of use in clean interfaces was Steve's mantra. Apple of today (and i talk of this "Keynote") seems to have forgotten what got it to its perch.
haha you have fun with that. If you're 100% dev / devops / not wanting modern application environments, be my guest. I was a linux distro kid for 20 years. Great OS's, horrible on the production level applications unless your VM'n it constantly, which then begs the question--why am I doing this again?
If the software wasn't so bug filled I wouldn't mind them talking about new features. Add lack of new hardware with Skylake taking off on PCs everywhere, big fail on Apple's point.
I got the feeling like they are not trying anymore, and happy to copy the competition , and it's all about one device , the iPhone, in China
Good luck to the apologisists on here , you will be working overtime today.

This place has become a joke. It's full of a bunch of ****s that all are playing too cool for school. They then go out and buy all Apple and hang onto every word here despite complaining.
I've seen this before in one community and it's pretty fricken hilarious. I wish I could intall iOS 10 on my phone now too.
How so? This company is in the toilet. Apple customers expect innovation, not re-hashed software and no significant hardware updates or new releases.
I am currently using Windows 10 and a Galaxy s6 edge + Android phone because I got tired of waiting for Apple to properly update their product lines over the past 2-3 years.
