Craig mentioned it in passing near the end of the macOS bit. I almost missed it too.
If you actually use a Mac for a living this was a solid keynote. All the deeper details if you read the Dev info makes this far bigger of an update than the past 3 for iOS and macOS, never mind AppleTV and Apple Watch.
But tripping over your adapter cable = more mb/p sales.
Well, uh, that was kinda the whole point of what they were talking about. Making it better? Confused…
Today we witnessed Peak Apple, ladies and gentlemen.
I regret not waiting for Kaby Lake. It’s had a much longer shelf life. I just had no idea they would refresh the 2016s just a few months later. I guess the core i9s will launch by the end of year.
The macOS part was the most interesting. Too bad no new hardware to go with that.
But I mean, really, Mac has never been about specs and "latest processors" and all that. A lot of users here seem to be converted Windows users who wish Mac was more like Windows and PCs (just without their crappiness). I understand that, but it's just not and never was.

Yup. I picked up an SE with 128GB and iOS 10 before they killed the 32 bit apps with iOS11. It's doing fine while I transition to hardware with a custom build of android.
Didn't you (people like you) say that last year? And year before that. And aren't you gonna say that next year, also. And year after that???
I'm torn. I honestly would LIKE to get a Mac Mini but if they're never gonna update the damn things, I might as well get an iMac. I can't stand Windows 10's quirks for daily driving anymore, and I really would like to get into iOS development as well.
Bleh.
Bleh.
Overall, I like some of the Watch OS's updates. I think there is a big room for improvement on Android watch side (look and feel wise). The other updates are nice but not really necessary- seems more cosmetic.
So, people were saying Samsung copied Apple's animoji and now Apple copy Samsung back on the personalized animoji. Strange no one say that they are creepy like they said for the Samsung's. I think Samsung's is more copy of the bitmoji.
Also the Siri shortcuts seems similar to the existing Bixby's Short Commands (maybe a more watered down version as Bixby can be taught to do even more). I use the short commands for Bixby daily so the shortcuts for siri is an improvement however Bixby do have more control over all of the phone's function than Siri at the moment.

There's a difference between not always going for the latest and greatest and having the nerve to offer several year old hardware for full price, neglecting half of one's portfolio!
One of the most boring keynotes ever.
And every time mr Tim says "we love the Mac", he should be slapped for lying.
