The State of the Union keynote is for developers. This one is mostly for the press and consumers.
don't you know by now? wwdc is always about software... hardware announcements come later in separate events
I thought it was one of the highlights as well.no. Because you're not @bbeagle and you didn't say that the home automation was a highlight of the keynote.
Happens after every Apple conference. Market is waiting for Apple to announce something that (a) the market can understand and (b) was not already leaked in rumors. When that doesn't happen, when there is no "one more thing", the stock drops a bit.
What do you mean nice try? You just posted that the Dow is down .5% . That's not up is it? Same is true with NASDAQ, S&P, FTSE, DAX, etc..
I didn't say the markets crashed, but down is still, well, down.
Based on rumors I knew the iPhone 7 probably would suck so I switched to Android one month ago. Bought a Galaxy S7 and I'm pretty happy with it. Seeing this WWDC just made me happier about my decision.
I'm a little blown away like others here. This company is now pandering to the teen crowd with iOS. Nothing professional in this at all for power users
Apple is losing it's way especially for the MAC user.
Real serious users will now consider Windows 10 etc.

Way too much criticism of Swift Playground. It's meant for newbies and kids -- every cut away they showed of the audience during that demo was of the kids and teens attending. You have to start somewhere and I think there's a fair amount of bitterness by current developers that something like this wasn't around when they started.
Spot on. Some of the oldest and most faithful fans are voicing thier opinions. Only a fool would ignore the feedback from the fans that made the company great. The switchers, will go back to Windows or android when the next best thing comes along.
No wonder I missed it, I thought that was the boredom emoji.This is the new disappointment emoji:
Guess it's multi-purpose at this point.
Feels like they are saving a lot for 10year iPhone anniversary in 2017.
Really looking forward to iMessage update. Like the copy and paste feature, but was disappointed not to see developments in mail (attachments for example), calendar ( such as adding attachments in iOS), split screen for iPhone, drag and drop between apps through split screen. Would have liked the ability to also annotate on web pages, screen shot full webpages. However the saving grace is we could see some of these features for when they unveil iphone 7.
The stock was down when the market opened (as was the rest of the market). It's hardly moved all day. Apple stock has never jumped after a keynote, not even when Jobs was presenting.
Outside of the iMessage changes (which I think Apple needed to do) what was specifically geared towards China? I can't think of anything. For me the only disappointing thing was no specific software changes for iPad but I wouldn't be surprised if we see something this fall. Not all software changes are announced at WWDC.

Swift playground if great. What's lame is that it was the last thing shown to a room full of adult devs. People were expecting apple to finish on a high.
Great thing to launch at an education keynote
What you state has happened to the tech industry over and over again through out history (IBM/Microsoft etc).... Dominate players fall to new ones. The next Apple might just be getting started in someone's basement.
It's like those horrible movie remakes of TV shows we loved 20 years ago. They use some of the original catch phrases, but you know the movie writers just don't get it.
Obviously most of the developer stuff will come out in the next few days:
I'm hoping for some major Xcode improvements (possibly rename it macCode now??) especially around stability
Better support for the Swift language (refactoring)
Improvements in testing, UI testing, BDD support, multiple simulators
Xcode plugin integrations with things like github, slack, atlassian, etc
A way to get rid of iExplorer
Network comms inspector to get rid of Charles
Thats just some of the things I want as a developer

lol whatever kid some of you are simply ridiculous and never happy. Go to android and take your negativity with you
and just off the top of my head, side by side safari in iPad is a pretty cool addition
