Why do they always say that while WWDC focuses on software, there is a chance of hardware. Nearly every WWDC had hardware, as far as I remember.
Yes, the focus of the overall conference is software and developers. But, the keynote is more a public media event which often includes a preview of the new OSs on the way, but really is there to promote upcoming Apple stuff, sometimes even heavily hardware-oriented. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the WWDC keynotes which didn't have hardware (or very little) were filled with silly software demos and antics, because Apple didn't have anything better to show off. Hopefully that isn't the case this year (those WWDC keynotes were painful! Remember when emoji were about all Apple had?).
