Live From WWDC 2018: Coverage of Apple's Keynote with iOS 12, macOS 10.14, and More

[PlayUltimate]

Incredibly stressful these people are on stage. Obviously they can’t be themselves, and need to put up a ‘performance’. Presenting a lot that would be distractions for me.

Remembering Steve’s magical keynotes

Agreed. Overly stiff. Reading scripts. Likely being judged and rated. The one advantage SJ had was that he was the man; he did not have a boss to fire/demote him if he screwed up. (I know, he had a BoD. But it's not the same)

Last 7 wwdc’s, new hardware was announced in 2012 & 2017.

So you are saying they only announced hardware in 2012 & 2017!

That isn't an announcement or welcomed upgrade for everyone.

 

[empireoflight]

I don't care about software updates anymore. All that matters to me is the Macintosh hardware lineup, which is and has been for years, woefully neglected.

Didn’t get to watch the keynote yet. Did they mention anything about APFS on fusion drives?

Yep, Craig has said that Mojave will finally bring APFS support for Fusion drives.

Yes, Steve definitely was the man
But Tim should be more relaxed then. He might be a bit more relaxed these days, and somewhat more then the others. But still he is stiff like a *%?#* And just as non-inspiring as he’d been all the time.
Working on Apple these days can’t be fun if they become like those puppets.

The MacBook and MacBook Pro have USB-3 ports, don't they?

Pros have dual purpose USB3/Thunderbolt, regular Macbooks don't have Thunderbolt chip and can only use plain USB3 (no access to PCI, no external GPUs)

 

[JPack]

So any idea on when we might expect new MacBooks?

It's expected sometime later this year.

 

[partyboy4357]

I think it’s because those things should just be normal updates, and normal updates shouldn’t require a Broadway production to announce them. People applauding basic features in an auditorium is like giving your kid a medal for just showing up for school. The bar has been systematically lowered and it’s not just Apple.

Exactly! Big production for meojis and new stock app. So rediculous.

When speaking in front of millions, millions of people.
Not even every CEO does that!
You could do better?

I wouldn’t let anyone stress me like that.
Who knows I might do well.
Would take a chair and get me and the audience relaxed...

What do you mean? I can't ever recall an announcement or upgrade that was welcomed by absolutely everybody.

 

[Jack Burton]

I thought I saw some youtuber cover the depth sensing camera and Animoji still worked. Can someone with an X confirm for me?

If so, seems like Apple could run this on the 8 and 7.

 

[psingh01]

I know these aren't supposed to be deep dives but I wish there were a bit more depth to what was shown. There was more things for end users than for developers presented.

 

[Ploki]

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.

I'd say i regret not buying it, but my 2012 also has 4 cores... been waiting so patiently for more than a year now.

 

[Newton1600]

Please don't say "Legos" ever again.... the plural of "Lego", is "Lego"

I completely agree...but I like the foundation this is laying for the future. With an ar headset, mixed play reality will be very very cool. But if you have to hold your phone infront of your face your hands aren't free to touch and move the real lego (Not LEGOS) whats the point of having the physical lego there if your hands aren't free to touch it... Might as well have a fully digital environment at this point.

 

[greenmeanie]

You people could of had dark mode awhile ago if you used ubuntumate.
Boring stuff from Apple yet again.

 

[Newton1600]

Is this stuff from the Workflow acquisition?

I thought the same

News app is not even available in all countries...

CANADA STILL WAITING FOR APPLE NEWS AND Apple Pay CASH...

OSX Mojave. Inspired by the desert. I think that's the most honest thing that's ever come out of Timmy's management team.

Desert:
- a dry, barren area of land, especially one covered with sand, that is characteristically desolate, waterless, and without vegetation.
- a situation or area considered dull and uninteresting
- synonyms: wasteland, wastes, wilderness, wilds, barren land;

Sums up the mac circa 2018 perfectly.

Probably have to have me a couple beers.

You must want rainbows & rainbow watch bands on your watch! More power to you!

Great one!

 

[technole]

I'm I correct in assuming that since iOS 12 will come with watchOS 5, you wouldn't be able to pair an original watch (stuck on watchOS 4)?

You can still use watchOS 4, just can't upgrade to 5.

 

[oyabroch!]

Excellent. I don't meet the minimum requirements on my Windows desktop.

Anytime, you're welcome.
[doublepost=1528161409][/doublepost]It seems Apple have simultaneously deserted but NOT deserted the Mac, with macOS Mojave...

 

[DevNull0]

So this is all you reading into things and not actual proof. Okay.

Is there anything short of Timmy and his merry band personally making a statement that you will accept as proof of anything?

 

[Michael Goff]

Pretty much, yeah. I’m not going to assume they’re going to do something with such flimsy proof. Having the same toolkits is not proof of anything. I could bring up competing theories that are equally ********.
