WWDC to Be Held June 13 to June 17 in San Francisco

MacRumors said:



As we reported in January, Apple plans to hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference on June 13 to June 17 in San Francisco, at the Moscone West convention center where the conference has been held for the past several years.

The official WWDC dates have leaked courtesy of Siri (via 9to5Mac), who, when asked when WWDC will be held responds: "The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held June 13 to June 17 in San Francisco. I'm so excited!"

While today's information counts as official confirmation that the conference will be held from June 13 to June 17, the dates in question were already known based on scheduling information at Moscone West. Since January, the Moscone Center has been booked for the first, second, fourth, and fifth weeks of June, leaving only the third week open for Apple.

Given that Siri is providing information about the Worldwide Developers Conference, the ticket lottery for the event is imminent and could go live as soon as tomorrow. Due to the popularity of the event, Apple offers each $1,599 ticket to developers based on a lottery system.

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is of interest to developers because it gives them a chance to interface with Apple engineers and attend a wide variety of instructional websites to learn methods for improving their apps. For non-developers, the Worldwide Developers Conference provides a first look at new versions of iOS and OS X and is also often used as a venue for introducing new products and services.

I still want to see a system where a select few WWDC tickets goes to the highest bidder with the proceeds going to a charity of the bidder's choice.

Why? WWDC isn't a freaking charity to begin with. Every developer ought to have an equal chance to go, because that's the whole point. You want to reach out to every developer, big and small.

iOS 10 really needs to be a significant overhaul both inside and out!

According to whom? iOS 7 was a complete re-design, just 3 years ago; previous versions using the same theme and style had been in place for SIX years; what makes you think Apple desire to baffle/temporarily "annoy" the luddites AGAIN, so soon after such a huge re-design? There's more likelihood of me teaching a chimpanzee to make a roast meal.

While not mentioned, was told the lottery system is not an evenly distributed selection. Supposedly, it is a weighted probability based on several factors such as: length of time as an Apple Developer (newbies are preferred over memberships of a decade or more), amount of Apple developer programs you are part of (supposedly being an MFi developer as a very positive influence of the selection), amount of WWDC conferences you attended, last time you attended a WWDC conference (if you attended a previous year, that actually accounts against you), number of apps on the store, any ranked app (another big positive influence) and the type of company you are with that's connected to the account. Was told there are also many "shoe in's" that get you immediate selection such as: winning a Design Excellence award, over a million dollars a year in sales on the App Store and even celebrity VIP status in the industry.

Not till the fall. The last product launch Tim announced that it was the last press conference in the "Town Hall" in Infinite Loop. I'm sure they will finish the Conference Hall on the new campus by the fall or next spring for the iPhone 7 launch.
 
Here's a nice example of journalist failing to grasp the concept of a TRIangle:

"This year's iPhone might not be the iPhone 7. That's because next year is the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone, so don't expect a huge Apple redesign until 2017.

Let's triangulate a couple of decently-sourced rumors, shall we? On the one hand, we have KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo saying next year's iPhone will be an all-glass affair with an OLED display. On the other hand, we have Nikkei reporting Apple seems to be planning an earlier launch window for this year."

(source: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3057892/apple-ios/iphone-7-release-date-rumor-itbwcw.html)

I stopped reading there, since the author cannot even work out what TRIangulation means, so why would I truth their opinion?

I will be very disappointed if the biggest 'update' to OS X is the addition of Siri.

You think Siri integration is not a noteworthy headline feature? Many disagree, I am sure of that. Beyond niceties like this, what else does an OS NEED to have added to it? What about Mac OS X needs adding to, in particular, the lack of which currently hinders daily use?
Confused.

Seems like more of a colloquial type of use of it vs it's actual use, kind of like "literally" has literally not been "literally" for some time now.

The meaning of words such as "literally" or "triangulation" have VERY specific meanings, they do not simply change meanings due to poor grammar and t'internets. That's the abuser at fault, not the meanings of the abused words. Maybe word abusers would like to coin their OWN, NEW words, instead of attempting to subvert long-established grammatical correctness due to their own ineptitude and poor grasp of the English language.

I think the 10th anniversary thing is a bunch of bull because it was their 40th on April, 1 2016 and they didn't do anything besides make a whack commercial. THAT'S IT! Who cares about the 10 year anniversary if they didn't seem to care about the 40th anniversary?

I completely agree. But unfortunately they do end up getting their meaning amended at times, given that "literal" has had its meaning updated not long ago by some highly respected sources -- http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/13/literally-broken-english-language-definition -- just as various phrases have come to suffer a similar fate, like "could care less" vs. "couldn't care less". Anyway, not really the topic of this thread/discussion, as interesting it might be.
