Video of WWDC 2012 Keynote Now Available

[tkhan456]

No new iMac's, no new real design changes, no really impressive new updates. Laaaaaaaaaaaame

 

[zipster]

So lets see...an average consumer's thoughts

iOS.
-Facebook update - Horrid. Most people despise facebook these days
-Siri - Cool little things, but they are missing the big thing - its not very functional
-Maps - Only Bright light, but..wait for it..GASP...Android still has better maps
-Passbook - Could bring security issues...may be cool...Who knows
Could easily be done in a simple update. 5.4? 5.5?

Overall -3/10

Macbooks
-Slightly better MBA and MBP - Yawn..Think about it. Most people won't notice the difference. Its miniscule.
-New Retina MBP - Fantastic...but wait... 2200 for base model? What? Apple is known to be overpriced but holy ... Wait until Windows Fanboys bash this price. Anyways, good machine but still too expensive. Should replace the 15 inch MBP IMO.

Overall - 4/10

WWDC presentation as a whole - 7/10...only highlight was that it was a good presentation.

Why are people downvoting this? Seems accurate to me. Those iOS features could've been implemented in an iteration of iOS 5, the Macbook upgrades are expected, and the Retina MBP is cool, but not that much of a wow (we were expecting this).

Its going to be a jam packed year, when Apple is releasing that much in one developer keynote there is bound to be much more to come.

 

[WannaGoMac]

I was only disappointed that Apple TV AGAIN doesn't get apps. WTF is apple's problem with this device ???

 

[Coltaine]

Great presentation.

And great products.

Actually, it seems like the guys are starting to get the "groove" again, after Steve's death. The presentations are not perfect yet, but they start to get funnier, more light-hearted and also more self-confident.
It's cool to see them head that way. And it's a pleasure to watch.

Besides, I am pretty sure, the Mac line is far from finished.
I think, there will be some more surprises this year.

The new MacBook Pro is really great.

As of this post it is not available for viewing on a PPC based mac on apple.com, podcast, or you tube. Recently updated Intel based Macs only.

I'm going to regret feeding the troll, but here's what I disagree with:

Facebook: Where are you getting this? Most of the people I know use Facebook exclusively, and the ones that don't use both Facebook and Twitter.

Siri: Its a huge improvement. After the ability to launch apps, the only thing it really needs is the ability to change settings.

Maps: How is Google Maps that much better? Apple now has turn by turn directions, so that advantage is gone.

Retina Macbook: I specced out a similar machine: the HP Spectre. For a worse display and lack of a dedicated GPU, the new Macbook is only 100 bucks more expensive. The new macbook has the fantastic display (which is probably the most expensive part of the computer), and only has SSDs as options. Its really not a bad deal.

As previous poster commented, iPhone 5? If so, yuck from me.

 

[Tonewheel]

Surprised Apple isn't selling Apple-branded untucked long sleeve shirts.

(Hey Tim...stop trying to look young. You're not.)

Does the steering wheel look right to you or how about that car in front, hey look the iphone...

Nope, I know the image is squished, but the phone has the additional central speaker/sensor/whatever at the top and ratio looks to be more 16:9 than 3:2.


Edit: Actually that screen is EXACTLY 16:9 ratio, I just checked. Edit 2: I never knew the white 4S had that sensor thing showing at the top either

 

[doctor-don]

Not up on chrome but safari works

But not unless your OS is 10.6 or higher.

Is the lack of expected features in newer OS the reason APPL declined today?

 

[egraphixstudios]

still no keynote vid on the link

 

[Spoonz]

Win 7, UK here. No video on Chrome or Safari

Same, I just used the iPhone link which works fine

No, that's exactly how the White iPhone 4S looks. The proximity sensor is visible above the speaker and camera:

Wait until Windows Fanboys bash this price.

Zzzzz...Windows fanboys bash anything that's over $400 and isn't made of cheap plastic.

Who cares what they think?

Yup, I just checked, wasn't on my black iPhone 4... But still, handy the screen on that is 16:9...

Because the image is squished....give it up

 

[elgrecomac]

Totally agree

#kanyeshrug

the OP was not a troll but providing one man's opinion. I happen to agree with it pretty much, as, it appears, do others.

I find it laughable that if, God forbid, a dissenting opinion is expressed on this board, that the dreaded TROLL label is immediately used.

I am so thoroughly DISGUSTED with Apple right now (Mac Pro insult) that I'm not even going to bother watching the Keynote.

My time will be better served researching parts for a new dual hex-core Xeon Sandybridge Hackint0sh with all the trimmings.

 

[Jimrod]

Aye, just desperate to find something interesting from the conference as an iPhone 4 (due upgrade) and iPad 2 user... :\

Hey, at least you're not an iPad 1 user . If you want to see what the iPhone 5 will look like, look no further:
