Dammit. This was the thing I was most looking forward to at WWDC.

Redesigned Apple TV Not Ready for WWDC Debut

Tim's obviously doubling doubling down on secrecy (giving out false info hopefully), In other news there'll be 200 new features for both OS X & iOS & a few new API's for developers for a new product category that might be globally launching soon (next year) if we're lucky!
I'm starting to not believe these rumors... There are too many saying Apple isn't going to show X, Y, or Z... According to these rumors, Apple will only show OS X and iOS updates at WWDC. haha
Yes, but with the Mac Pro there was no fear of any competitor being able to or interested in copying the form factor and design. And the features were pretty much your normal basic features that every computer has.
I'm disappointed. But I also just recently got my Fan TV to work with my older stereo system by splitting the HDMI into an HDMI video and an optical sound output. So I've got streaming live TV with all my cable shows now connected to the big projector in the living room. Just in time for NBA finals which start tomorrow.
I am sooooo disappointed as well. As others have said, this was the one thing at WWDC that I was excited about, being that I have been waiting what seems like forever to add an ATV to my other TV's but didn't want to buy an old gen model. Well I guess I'll just have to wait longer and hope the wait is worth it.
That really wouldn't be weird considering this is a developer's conference.
But sure... there's usually some hardware revealed at WWDC.
Wow. So all we have for WWDC is two maintenance releases, iOS 9 and OS X, and native apps for the watch. Totally worth a $$$$ ticket. Since they booked the event hall for 2 hours, does this mean that when the shows over at 11, Tim will just stand there in silence with only crickets sounding and then to break the silence say "So...we have this room for another hour..." More silence. "What's everyone having for lunch?"
If they don't preview the 6S, I'm holding YOU responsible, because you are the one who just made the announcement. It's officially your responsibility.
I think what is happening is that these "credible" agencies are suffering from a severe case of "foot in mouth" syndrome. They all put their reps on the line by saying that Apple is coming out with this or that. Then they find out it's not true and probably never was true and all of the sudden it's "oh, uh, Apple changed their minds and will show it 'later!' Yeah, that's it!"
Why on earth do you think that just because it's delayed they won't show it on stage? Nothing has changed here. Just the release date.
I just saw an
TV in action for the first time a few months ago. I could not BELIEVE he had to sit there and piddle through a letter grid like some kind of old video game. What a ridiculous setup. That's got to change.Which will be of use to no one outside the U.S. whereas the App Store will be of infinitely more use to more people. At the very least, an SDK needs to be announced.
It's not that it takes so long to up date Apple TV, it's that sales of it in its current state are acceptable. Given how limiting it is in comparison to the competition, people still buy Apple TVs, lots of 'em.WTF! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Just WOW, Apple! How many FREAKING years does it take to update the Apple TV? And I was sooo hoping for it at WWDC because YouTube no longer works on my old model! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
I bought 2 when the 2nd gens first came out. After seeing how slowly they were moving things along and how stuff that was supposed to work didn't do so reliably, I moved on to a Roku 3/Plex configuration. Life is too short to be waiting around for something that might never happen.
But at least they are making record profits, and that's all that matters.
Me too, mine falls off the network all the time making it annoying streaming anything from Netflix. I was hoping a hardware refresh would sort this outI was looking forward to the new
