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

Craig: "They don't seem very thrilled, Tim. Not a lot of cheers going on."

Tim: "I got this. Phil, you know what to do. Throw up the slide when I go back up."

Phil: "Operation O's a-go!"

*audience roars at the sight of Michelle Obama*

Wonder when IOS 11 beta will drop.

5000 dollars for a computer. I thought Moore´s law was just for cpu and not prices.

 

[mac4good84]

RIP iPad mini?

 

[SkankHunt42]

What business does Michelle Obama have at WWDC? Who has she inspired/empowered exactly??

 

[AustinIllini]

That's for a Play 5. I'm thinking this will be more comparable to a Play 1 or Play 3 at that size and price.

It does give a lot more than the Play 1, but if I'm in the market for a Play 1 I'm not considering the HomePod

Was ios10 updated? Didn't really see much

Barely.

 

[apolloa]

Stores up, new 10.5" iPad Pro in the U.K. Starts from..... £619.

Hmmm

The 9.7" seems to have been dropped for the new one.

 

[itguy06]

Apple is giving you enough time to sell your car so you afford to buy the new iMac Pros.

Naaah. Windows isn't so bad and the laptop I bought in January is better than the new laptops that they released today!

 

[mac4good84]

The Home Pod looks like it should come with a set of knitting needles.

LOL thank you. Spot on.

 

[JeffyTheQuik]

At 4GB I would be EXTREMELY interested, at 3GB, not so much.

I'm running an iPad 3 when flying, so having the 10.5in Pro would be an improvement.

FlyQ EFB is struggling to keep up, and I can only load two states into it (16GB iPad 3 with iOS 9).

And Google totally ripped Apple off with Android. FACT!!! Deal with it! They also ripped off the digital assistant and high PPI (retina) screens. Nobody was even thinking about that before Apple released them.

Emmm, no. Apple doesn't make displays.
LG-LU1400 2008 PPI 333
Toshiba Portege G900 2007 PPI 311
Xperia X1 2008 PPI 311

The first digital assistant was Wildfire in 2001.

 

[Olz]

Just reviewing the full High Sierra feature list...it's weak: "Quick Family Setup"...really?

I don't feel like their "refinements" even amounted to anything, could they not say the OS takes up 5% less space, or uses 10% less RAM etc.?

 

[576316]

but if I'm in the market for a Play 1 I'm not considering the HomePod

What makes you say that?

 

[stylinexpat]

Anyone know speeds of new SSD in new MacBooks?

 

[69650]

Same old iMac design is really disappointing. A new design is the ONLY thing I really wanted.

 

[mattopotamus]

It's disappointing that HomePod doesn't have a screen as was rumored for that price. I bought two Echo Shows for only $10 more than I would pay for that thing.

That and it just looks like an in home "Siri". Did they mention anything about 3rd party support? Looks like a terrible buy based on what I saw.

 

[Royal Gala]

Apple smashed it. Great job!

 

[840quadra]

Fair enough. In that case, looking at a great match

Like many, I will have to test it out at a local store first to see if it will match my needs. Otherwise, I may adopt an Echo dot and run some sound sticks or my Audioengines form it.

I would like something more compact and wireless, but it isn't always an option for me.

 

[Rogifan]

I have to laugh at the WSJ blog asking whether sound quality drives consumers. Well this consumer cares more about the sound of a speaker than being able to talk to it. Especially when I have a phone and tablet I can talk to.

 

[mi7chy]

Kind of nodded off since a lot of things announced are just reinventing what competitors have already done.

 

[Zirel]

Loving this new HomePod!

 

[Olz]

Wonder when IOS 11 beta will flop.

Fixed that for you

 

[AustinIllini]

What makes you say that?

The Play:1 is kind of the step into multi-room option. I have one in two rooms in my house.

 

[You are the One]

Apple is in the business of Globalism, I'm not surprised. Their licking up to the music industry and Holly Wood is... meh.
