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

[Glideslope]

Always in a good mood after keynotes until I come read the MacRumors comments. Most spoiled, insufferable lot ever.

Please, spare me the Drama. I was using a Mac before you were born.

Bottomline of WWDC. Some nice features but nothing earth shattering. Software for the next couple years is going to be possibly solid but not much different from the actual stuff we use.
Hardware has been lacking and services too.
No news about very outdate Macs, iPhone according to rumors this year might be an extension of the 6S. That's very troubling. Maybe Apple hit the plateau and doesn't know where it is heading.
That's not a great feeling to have and I am a huge Apple apologist.

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.

Yes, but Apple has never had significantly dropping sales of the one device the majority of it's profits are made from and a significant drop in share price as a result, faced hostile governments (India) who will not allow them to do certain things, or had a hardware range where the MacBook is the ONLY up to date computer, by several years in the case of the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro..

If their ever was a time in Apple's history where they needed to announce new hardware at WWDC, this is it.

And I am buying an XPS15 fully loaded as we speak...

Great machine IMHO, purchased a few for my firm lately.

 

[Shanghaichica]

No software update today. They usually give us a point update after wwdc, also they haven't told us which iOS/macs are getting the new software like they usually do.

 

[CmdrLaForge]

I guess I try out Windows 10 this fall.

Lets say you're right. It is for the developers. My questions is then, why is they keynote 90% Apple apps and 10% new API's, in which the API's almost just are bylines?

WWDC lasts four days. The Keynote is a quick overview of the four OSs that have just been updated, along with information about key aspects within. The remaining time is for developers to interface with the 1000 Apple engineers available to take advantage of the new features.

For example, Siri has been substantially improved in several ways. It can now handle complex natural language questions (along with other features), and, is now accessible to developers through the just announced API.

First time since 1986 that i am doing this:



boooooooo booooooooo boooooooooooooooooo Apple booooooooooo

 

[MacHiavelli]

So... NO new MacBook Pro ???

Craig mentioned new special Apple silicon in iOS and Mac devices.

Next MBP will have ARM?

Wanted: A new macbook pro

First keynote I haven't watched in 4/5 years. Just don't get excited by Apple as much now, underwhelmed and glad I didn't watch!

 

[Stella]

They didn't even show some highlights of XCode 8.. you know.. the mandatory developer tool thats required to build apps.

Instead, WWDC was dominated by Messages and Music - both presentations were really bad.

The conference is a full week full of sessions that tell you about the new API's. Obviously they will not talk about the API's during the damn keynote. That's common sense.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

I'm personally not impressed by iOS 10. All I saw was several features to turn off.

My exact thoughts!
I'll be immediately heading to settings and turning off a whole slew of unneeded stuff.

 

[spinedoc77]

How sad, not even a dark mode for iOS10. It seems like it's true, that Apple will just coast along until the iphone 8.

 

[doelcm82]

I was really hoping the rumor of Apple opening up iMessages to Android would be true but i guess not.
They do say its open to developers now for imessages apps. I dont know what that implies really.

It may still be in the works.

Managing AppleId's on Android devices could have some side effects that they want to work through before making it public.

Or maybe it was just a rumor.

The comment forums on this site have become a cesspool of negativity. There was some truly awesome stuff announced today.

 

[Phoenixx]

To me these features are all welcomed, but the biggest area they need to look at is the removal of bugs. The last thing we need is another OS filled with problems.

 

[teknikal90]

lol that was underwhelming.

the best news of the day was apple watch 3.0
looks fun

may even give the rolex a rest and rotate the apple watch back in.

 

[Redpoint]

Is it just me or was 98% of that keynote targeted at <15 year olds. A 1/5 of the keynote was devoted to emoticons. Virtually everything Apple does now is incremental - "gilding the lily" so to speak. How's the next gen MacPro coming along?

 

[bbeagle]

No software update today. They usually give us a point update after wwdc, also they haven't told us which iOS/macs are getting the new software like they usually do.

Both of those are wrong. They told us exactly which iOS/macs on a slide, and they DON'T give releases out, except to developers, at WWDC.

is this your first WWDC..? Apple never gets into specific details at the keynote. Thats why they have sessions..

 

[BigMcGuire]

For someone at work who couldn't listen in --- My two questions: Is iOS getting dark mode? Are iMessages available to Android ? Thanks.

Serious question - like what?

 

[ElTorro]

Was she the best person at Apple to showcase the fitness app? It's like asking a bald dude to demo a comb.
