Live Coverage of Apple's WWDC 2017 Keynote: iOS 11, macOS 10.13, Notebooks, iPad Pros, and More

Apple finally realize a File System is required.

Better late than never!

 

[jamesrick80]

Omg that dock thing is seriously cool. This is better than any concept I've seen! The iPad Pro is starting to look like a viable computer now. Holy crap!

Chrome os has a a dock concept....

 

[kupkakez]

Weird, looks like there's no time for the Siri speaker? Oh well.

I bet if we don't see it today we will see it in the fall alongside the iPhone.

 

[sracer]

But can I really "access" the files...

Good question.

 

[jiggad369]

Does the files app make it simple to just plug the iPad to a pc or Mac and transfer files off the device without going into itunes????

Sync through app like iCloud, I'm guessing.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Please lower the price of the pencil, I need a new one!

 

[fel10]

Weird, looks like there's no time for the Siri speaker? Oh well.

They still have one more thing left. They did say 6 things earlier right?

 

[MellowFuzz]

Craig is a hero.

 

[Olz]

Its getting to a point now where I won't even need a Macbook anymore. I can just do everything on a iPad.

Keep your voice down, this is exactly what Tim wants to hear.

 

[apolloa]

Looks like they're trying to compete with the Surface Pro.

Well yeah.. trouble is Microsoft have them as they have a 2 in one device. Apple sells separate devices.

 

[MrX8503]

The iPad is now a viable computer. This is huge. I can see the majority of casual users buying an iPad. This will revitalize iPad sales.

 

[jdillings]

Weird, looks like there's no time for the Siri speaker? Oh well.

Nope. There's still one item left to announce. It must be the Siri speaker. It sure ain't a new Mac Mini.

 

[lec0rsaire]

Its getting to a point now where I won't even need a Macbook anymore. I can just do everything on a iPad.

But can you have a backlit keyboard? That is the question!

 

[xxray]

Wow searching handwritten notes

 

[Dorje Sylas]

Dumb question--With "Files" is my data still stored with each application?

I don't see why it wouldn't. If I were designing Files, it would just be a way to show the contents of those App specific Document folders in a single place. But we'll have to wait and see what the technical documents say.

 

[lakerchick4life]

Hopefully they will show an updated Keyboard and Pencil otherwise whats the point of the keyboard now its too small for the 10.5 inch

Guys... This $5k iMac is made for professionals who drop $6,000 on a cinema camera or $3500 on a lens. The iMac Pro is clearly replacing the Mac Pro which makes perfect sense. They weren't selling many of those, so to use the same form factor as the iMac is perfect. No reason to re-design the lineup. If a Mac Pro wasn't on your wish list yesterday, the iMac Pro was never for you anyway.

Stop it. This crap about the suggesting if "you're bitching about the price of the iMac Pro, it's not for you", is BS. I've been using a Mac Pro since 2009. A pro machine should have at least TWO internal storage bays, er, sockets that are upgradeable by the user. Not ALL pro users need Xeon gear, yet we want more than a 4 core processor found in the 'consumer iMac'.

Holy crap, look at across the aisle at the pro PC/Windows users who are building their own custom made machines for less than 50% of this offering. ...and with Intel's new i9 chips being released at the end of this month, for pro users no less, or even with Ryzen chips, the machines are silly powerful - and not just for 'gaming'. ...did I mention you can build a machine that will run circles around these for less than half (-$2,500) the price of the base iMac Pro?

Pro User does NOT = someone who can 'afford' a $7,000 machine. LOL

 

[fel10]

But can you have a backlit keyboard? That is the question!

haha, yeah, I forgot about that. Hopefully one day.

 

[xxray]

This seriously makes me regret buying a new laptop recently

 

[mac4good84]

WOW. Quite a bit of hardware news for this keynote!

 

[UL2RA]

Not a single shirt was ironed that day.

 

[xalea]

Does it only recognize printed handwriting??

 

[lec0rsaire]

The iPad replaced notebooks for years already especially with students. The big deal was the availability of textbooks on iOS.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

MAYBE....just MAYBE the Plus / Pro iPhones in Sept will have drag drop ability, larger dock option in landscape mode.
Just speculation. But it would be nice on an iOS11 Phone with UI that seems pretty bad at first glance.

 

[Troneas]

OMG !! iOS has a file explorer !! in 2017 !! revolutionary !!
