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

[Deacon-Blues]

That is really expensive for a speaker. Really expensive. I think I'll stick with my JBL Flip4.

This was a great wwdc presentation i like the updates to iMac/imac pro but not a big fan the speaker.

 

[spinedoc77]

LOL $350...certainly won't be buying that. Must be why they are not launching it in Canada...up here that would be like a $500 speaker by the time exchange and tax are added. Also their design is a huge failure, must have been designed in a dust free facility and they forgot that all that mesh is going to be a complete nightmare to keep clean

Don't underestimate the ability of Apple fans to spend money on useless things. Seriously $299 for....

The Power Macintosh 9500 tower cost $5300 back in 1995, just sayin'

Best ever WWDC keynote, very impressed, good to see Apple Inc. back.

lol. solid trolling.

 

[kazemer]

No apple pencil 2.

 

[MRrainer]

I hope they warned the attendants to go pee before the keynote.

Looks like we're not getting an updated Mini before the iMac Pro then.

 

[Black Belt]

Os updates are interesting, though I thought the macOS name was a joke until it became apparent they were actually serious. Hardware updates make it obvious Tim is spending too much time yapping about politics instead of running Apple. Very underwhelming and disappointing.

 

[AdonisSMU]

The MacPro became an iPod!!!

 

[boshii]

As an avid Sonos and Apple user, I find it hard to justify putting in a HomePod if it doesn't integrate with my existing hardware.

Even if it integrated it would be a waste of money. Alexa support for Sonos is already in beta and a $50 echo dot will be able to do everything the $350 HomePod will be able to do.

 

[deany]

lol. solid trolling.

Yes, you would know.

I'm starting to look into that

 

[cardfan]

I nailed the price for the "homepod" (what an awful name)..lol But wow, i can't see any reason to buy this when i have an iphone and speakers already. Amazon's was an easier purchase because it's hardly a cost and offers some amazon integration. I already have apple siri on too many devices already.

It's not 1995, just sayin'

 

[mattopotamus]

People are using Amazon devices to control their whole homes, and at $39, you can put an echo dot in every room if you want. HomePod will hurt SONOS, but isn't going to displace Amazon's lead in the smart speaker space. I wonder if a HomePod Express / HomePod Mini is in the works?

That is what is so odd to me. It is like Apple wants to tackle the home, but this is just a speaker with Siri. 3rd party is what makes echo and google home so good.

 

[jjjoseph]

You can buy a Horribly Outdated MacPro for $3,999 or wait 1/2 a year for an iMac Pro. Wow it is a great time to be a MacOS Professional user!!

 

[Stella]

Well, a pretty good WWDC keynote. Certainly better than last year's cringe fest.

 

[Andrewtst]

The worst keynote I ever watch since first iPod Touch keynote. Nothing impress me... ....

OMG! Truly wasting my time.

 

[CestLucas]

And the iMac Pro modules are interchangeable

 

[RealityM]

New MacBook Pro with function keys, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD = $1899. Now we're talking.

MBP with Touch Bar same configuration = $2399. No way.

 

[zapnyc]

Who would want this for $350 when you can get a few echo dots and a nice pair of speakers for well under that price?

uh.....so... a "nice" pair for you is $200? Not for me. Maybe twice that....for speakers alone. I'll reserve judgement till I actually hear the sound of HomePods. They wisely focused on sound quality in the presentation.

 

[ctrlzone]

WWDC 2017, they say it every time but this one was really huge, blowed my mind.

window.server on metal 2, new file system

this is so killer, can't wait for this fast, butter smooth OS.

high sierra fully baked !!!


Apple is going strong in the right direction.

 

[mariana888]

Alright, let's get this party started!

Saw this over on reddit: Apple Bingo Air! Let's play folks!

Also, I've created a discord server for a live chat, if anyone is interested.

I'll be hanging and posting here and there as well.

Full card, what do we win?

 

[mrt209]

All I wanted was an upgraded MacBook Air with retina display... they don't even try anymore, going to jump ship. And lol iMac Pro starts at $4,999, the only thing Apple does these days is introducing higher price points

 

[deany]

Can't go wrong with SONOS Play 1 - Stereo Pair and a house full of Alexa Dots.

Alexa and SONOS ready to go soon.
