Official WWDC Thread

What products are being announced? No iPhone yet right?

I think today's focus is going to be on iOS 8 and the next OS (Yosemite/ el cap).

We all expect to see the health ok announcement and maybe some home automation.


And of course, the iwatch would be great spespecially since the wwdc giveaway was a jacket with a button on the sleeves.

I think the iPhone 6 announcement will come later this year.

Oh I know that will absolutely be the focus, just saying I think they're gonna at least have some kind of announcement on it

If anyone is expecting hardware announcements I think you are going to be disappointed. The past couple of years WWDC has focused on software. Seperate events have been called for the announcements of new iphones.

One of the focal points of iOS 8, however, is likely to be Healthbook, an app that will be dependent on certain peripherals (such as the rumored iWatch...) for data collection.

I'm not sure Apple could introduce Healthbook without at least mentioning the iWatch. You would presumably want to get developers on board quite early as well.

Also, we've seen major hardware reveals at WWDC in the past. For example, just last year, Apple showed off the new Mac Pro.

Yeah If we hear about new hardware today, my guess is that it will be the iWatch. I'd be VERY (pleasantly) surprised if they announce a new phone, even for an August release.

I need to hear that they are going to make iOS 8 better. I'd prefer not to hear about some new halfbaked feature that no one has asked for like health book, which sounds like Passbook 2.0.

I want to hear improved notification center, more control panel functionality, App integration with TouchID, more iTunes Radio features, etc.

the last WWDC i attended as a developer i got a free 'transparent' newton 120. i managed to make a fortune off it when i sold it on ebay several years later



i wonder how much it would be worth today?

I used to be really into the keynotes and distracted all day trying to keep up with what was going on.

Outside of iOS 7's intro last year, now I usually just catch up on the news afterwards.

Apple being so leaky now is part of it. The other is that Apple hasn't dropped a nuke in over 4 years.

Would be nice to see another nuke dropped but expecting a snooze fest.

As much as I love Apple, the keynotes just don't excite like they used to.

Man I bet Tim Cook is pissed. But how do you part ways with the company that builds 70(+)% of your most profitable product. lol
