No developer specific hardware.
Apple is now 1 year into its 2 year transition to Apple Silicon. Out of the 11 Mac models available only 5 are using the same M1 chip.
To me this suggests they will end up supporting only two performance 'tiers'. The M1 (and successors) will power a (relatively) lower performance point, and whatever (?) they release in the next year will be used in a higher performance tier (Pro).
You didn't need four, but the original iPhone still had its fair share of bugs and jank.
No 4K playback on Windows either it’s a complete sh*tshow like this presentation 😂
Ummm, the term 'jank' was invented by and for Android.

It was a coin flip. 50/50. I’m not sure that deserves much fanfare.that leaker was right. no hardware
This is an insane sentence. You really don't get how someone could know something without practicing it?

It's a widely used term, even outside of developer circles. I've used it since before Android existed.
I haven’t used windows for several years, but there were at least two third party utilities that did this, they didn’t do drag and drop though. One as I recall was cross platform and worked on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It was pretty great.
Correct. If it was coming then Kuo and/or Gurman would have had the scoop. Just because you think something should come doesn’t mean it will.

I’m not really sure what you’re proposing they do. Speed up their development and rush out products just because a fraction of their user base who reads rumor sites are expecting it? And no, they’re not going to come out and acknowledge rumors. Why give these people power?
There was never going to be hardware. The “rumors” were made up or fake info from fake sources. It’s not Apple’s fault people believe nonsense. I did too by the way, I thought there was a 50/50 chance. I was wrong, there was a zero percent chance. Jon Prosser is a fraud. I will never trust anything that doesn’t come from Gurman, Kuo, or L0vetodream ever again. But I’m not blaming Apple for being duped. It’s not their fault.
I think the rumor sites are a bubble anyways. The vast majority of customers don’t follow or care about this stuff unless it’s something huge like the iPhone 4 leaking which gets mainstream coverage. The YouTube stream for WWDC has 3,400,000 views and 210k likes and only 3.8k dislikes. This is representative of their actual audience. Macrumors forums is a few thousand people who complain about everything. It’s a bubble.
Ok, so it's been around for a while to describe things that suck. But the fact remains it wormed its way into tech lexicon via Android.
Well I must say that after no hardware announcements today that I am feeling very disappointed
Kinda weird how some folks here hold a belief that no-one uses Facetime because "none of their friends/fam do".
Going to go ahead an leave this here.

U.S. video call service usage during COVID-19 2020| Statista
In a survey conducted in March 2020 on coronavirus, it was found that 47.6 percent of adults in the United States were using FaceTime as their videoconferencing app of choice to talk to family and friends.

Yup, a word was used in accordance with its meaning. Good job connecting those dots.
I think you probably mean “overkill” rather than “useless”.
There are plenty of things you can do with that iPad Pro even without devs having access to the entire 16GB.
I wouldn’t buy it right now, but if someone wanted to… who am I to judge?
I agree, Universal Control looks great. The improvements to Messages, FaceTime and being able to search text on photos is good as well. I was literally trying to search text within my photos yesterday whilst looking for a picture.
I don’t think MacOS necessarily needs yearly updates. They used to update it biannually which I think is better.
In the last 22 years, 11 had hardware. 1 was the HomePod, which was a whole new device that needed Devs to cater for. 3 were iPhones, which was before iPhones then moved to their September/October yearly release schedule. then with the remaining 7, 5 were Mac Pro/iMac Pro's, 1 was the 'aluminium cinema display' 1 was MacBook Pro back in 2012.
So, seeing as in the last 9 years, there's been no MacBook Pro announced at WWDC, and that was the only time it happened. Plus none of the more reliable leakers/analysts actually confirmed hardware at WWDC (Most actually said the rumours were wrong), it was illogical to believe the unreliable rumours.
Also, Apple don't confirm or deny rumours, so why would they pipe up now? lol.
I disagree this was "obvious."
If the 16 inch is announced in October and shipped in November, Apple will have gone two full years without updating their highest end laptop. That's insane. 2 years! When is the last time they went two full years without updating a laptop?
Plus various leaks over the past few weeks and months and the fact they have absolutely released new hardware at WWDC.
Again, not "obvious" they weren't going to release anything.
Where’s that jerk Prosser? He’s got some ‘splaining to do!
Not in my experience with the 1G. And they’ve vastly improved what little bugs the first gen had. It was never broken. Minor glitches happen to even the best software developers. Apple’s software is far smoother than anything else. If you thought that was bad never try an Android phone. Absolute nightmare if you hate jank or lag. Even now!
