How are you judging that? We literally only just learned about this feature less than 30 minutes ago.
Doesn't matter. If you went into that event without reading any rumors it was still very lackluster.
Big tech is pretty commoditized at this point. Android has a bunch of stuff announced here, especially in maps, and Android is copying Apple’s privacy in the next version. I think the days of expecting HUGE, LIFE-CHANGING TECH announcements are pretty much behind us all. That’s fine with me. I love the iterative nature of tech more than the Big stuff.
Possibly the most boring 105 minutes of my life. For Nothing! That's the last corporate software marketing presentation I ever plan to endure. No more WWDC.
Turn your head or walk around the room, maybe then you'll hear it
So an entirely 'new' macOS is some stuff for Safari, a way of sharing video on a Mac screen and a way of moving the cursor on your iPad. Wow. The ideas well at Apple is officially drained.
He can do a lot of it on his private jet.
It is hard to find words to describe such an epic failure. Perhaps someone else could give it a try but alas it will probably a beta release.
All the Safari adblockers are poop even paid ones. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox with uBlock Origin which is best, open source and free.
I can't wait he fly there: https://goo.gl/maps/Wzprzc3X35JQFfzV6
That is true.. I know everyone hates it when people say "Steve would have never.. etc, etc".. but it's true.. he would have had something..
Any one think that we may see new Mac hardware in July? Between new phones, new watches, new lower-end iPads potentially coming out in the Fall, it does not give a lot of opportunity for new Mac announcements. (MacBook Pro, iMacs? )
If Amazon Music updates the app to use the Shareplay API, then yes. It's down to the devs to add it in
Yeah, but developers also don’t watch these things to see what’s new in iMessages and FaceTime. While I think a lot of this stuff was interesting for consumers, about 10 minutes was interesting to me as a developer.
This is a really cool feature if it works as seamlessly as they showed. Logitech Flow always had a bit of lag for me when trying to do what they showed.
Was reallllyyyy hoping for some Pro apps on iPad this year... better multitasking isn't too bad though, and the Shareplay API is pretty nice.
But no Pro apps means I'll be sticking to getting an iPad Air instead of the new Pros

I think the Watch OS 8 segment solidified my disappointment with this event today. I wanted to like it but I can't see myself using anything they announced. Maybe live text but that's a big maybe. I wanted improvements to what they already had and they didn't even bring it up. They didn't talk about Car Play, they didn't Talk about TVOS, and they didn't have any improvements for the Apple Watch. It's like we provide feedback for apple and they don't care. Now I have a decision to make on if I want to go to Android Phone. My Apple Music is up at the end of July, I do like the Apple TV set up and plan to reup for Ted Lasso, but if I get rid of the phone, then I have to get rid of the watch too. I've had the Apple Watch for close to 2 years anyway.
Apple is the largest company in the world, and it felt like this Keynote was a whole bunch of nothing. All those articles that were linked and did anything come to pass? Can someone please tell me why I should stay with Apple other than Privacy, which I will give them credit for.
By the way I'm not a developer, but I have paid good money for Apple Products and will probably continue to do so. As a Consumer, I should be more excited about this and I'm not.

What? You can still buy Intel Macs with many core, many GBs of RAM and big SSD storage.
The Apple Silicon Macs will be more actual in Fall time this year, but my prediction is more or less next year. There are supplier shortages etc.
Also there isn't that much native software for the Apple ARM available. So why hurry?
Is Apple Silicon ready?

Definitely the least exciting Apple keynote I have ever seen. I was bored out of my mind throughout the entire event. On the plus side, I am not salivating over a product I can't afford or desperate to install betas to try an awesome new feature. I feel like I watched nothing at all.
All that M1 power in your iPad for angry birds and among us.
They focus on other stuff now days but can’t say it
Why not? They can make an Mac event (or not, just refresh the Apple Store) in October or November 2021...
