WWDC 2016 Keynote: Live from the Bill Graham Auditorium (12 PM Central Time)
Posted on 6/13/16 at 9:11 am
Posted on 6/13/16 at 9:11 am
The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off at the historic Bill Graham Civic Auditorium for an unforgettable Monday as Apple’s renowned developer community comes together to learn about the future of OS X, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The Keynote and State of the Union promise exciting reveals, providing inspiration and new opportunities to continue creating the most innovative apps in the world.*
Apple Live Stream is available via a dedicated channel on the Apple TV set-top box or the Safari browser on OS X (10.8.5 and above) and iOS devices (iOS 6 and above).

What to Expect:
Siri
Siri will almost certainly be a highlight of the event. We reported earlier this year that the company was planning a debut for Siri on Mac as a flagship feature for version 10.12, the next major OS release for Macs expected to get an unveiling at WWDC as usual. And a later report detailed Apple’s plans for a new SDK for Siri as it reportedly develops dedicated hardware for the voice assistant that would compete with Amazon’s Echo device and the recently unveiled Google Home platform.
Apple acquired a company called VocalIQ a while back and it is rumored that this technology will allow them to leap frog what is currently offered by competing consumer assistants.
iTunes/Apple Music
Apple Music was a big part of WWDC last year with its official launch, and this year would be an ideal venue to unveil the major redesign of the service currently in the works. We previously detailed Apple’s plans to overhaul the service for iOS 10 with a mostly black & white UI, ‘huge artwork’, lyrics integration, and more. And that redesign will also change more than just the surface of the app with changes to core features like Connect and more. And that also leaves a lot of questions for what happens with iTunes, which is also reportedly set to get an overhaul alongside Apple Music.
Apple Pay
We reported Apple is working on person to person Apple Pay transfers through iMessage and it could make a debut at WWDC. An expansion to new countries is also expected sometime this year, as is mobile checkout for websites.
iOS 10
Apple is working on a lot of improvements and new features for its own stock iOS apps in iOS 10, including the ability to optionally hide the apps from the iPhone’s homepage for the first time. Paid and subscription content for the News app, a standalone app for HomeKit, and Siri Remote features for the iOS Remote app are also features expected to arrive soon.
macOS
Apple is reportedly planning a feature that will allow unlocking of Macs with the iPhone’s Touch ID, something that would definitely make for a nice demo on stage this Monday.
iCloud
Apple received a lot of press this year over its iPhone’s security and the FBI’s attempts to force it to unlock a suspect’s device in a high-profile criminal case. One report during that controversy noted Apple was working on even stornger iCloud backup encryption and iPhone security

OSX is getting a little long in the tooth (version 12 upcoming).

That's like saying Windows is getting a little long in the tooth. It has been around for 31 years!

Windows has had major redesigns just like MacOS. What I am talking about is going from OS 9 to OS X to, eventually, OS 11. We have been on OS X since now since 2000?
Windows major changes were from 3.0 to 95 to Win 7-10.

These are just numbers. Don't get hung up on them.

I hear ya, but they are more than numbers. You have an OS and it's countless revisions. For example, windows 95 was around for quite a while with several revisions (remember xp, me, vista etc). Then bam, a fundamental new design altogether w/ 7.
Mac OS 9 had several revisions, but is a completely different OS than OS 10. As a matter of fact, you cannot run OS 9 apps natively on OS 10.
This is the kind of overhaul I am wondering about. Not the countless revisions of the same OS. I am talking major UI redisign and under the hood changes (a possible iOS/MacOS hybrid as an example). The kind of redeisgn that would change the look, feel and layout of the enture UI.

iMessage for Android please. So my friends can stop bitching in group texts

Just move to the better system. Problem solved.

Already on the better system, obviously.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's how you wind up with Windows 8 etc.

Integrated 2FA would be a big security gain and hopefully where the entire industry will go.

Several times in the past week or so, I thought "I wish I could copy from my phone and paste on desktop or vice versa." I've e-mailed text to myself for that purpose on multiple occasions.
EDIT: OMGz Apple copied google photos!11
But it really looks like they've improved upon it significantly. Like, a lot.

In line link preview in messages. The one thing I really wanted. sweet.

As a developer this keynote was super interesting, but a little light on the technical details which have been present in years past.
watchOS - Better functionality and I really like the merging of glances and app launch screens, but I don't do any development here and I'm not sure if watchOS only needed polish vs. a full makeover.
tvOS - Unified login
was all I actually cared about seeing as a user, everything else is a happy surprise like slingTV finally coming to Apple TV (the Sling UI looked like garbage though) and Fox Sports. As an aside I've been tooling around with an App for this for one of my company's clients.
macOS - the Intelligent storage and the actionable Siri searches are interesting. Apple Pay for websites looks promising and I love the implementation of PIP. As a dev I wanted to see updates to the Mac app store (though I don't have anything there currently) and I was expecting the Apple Music refresh to extend to iTunes. Oh and that cross device copy and paste looks great as well.
iOS - The new and improved actionable notifications seem interesting and without a hands on the notifications, widget slide out, control center with home kit integration look like great improvements. I think I took iMessage a bit for granted as aesthetically it hadn't changed much since iOS 7, but the features and improvements actually look like dramatic improvements, though I am a bit disappointed that there is no Android port, but the potential add-ons that can be sold through iMessage could make it a profitable freemium app there.
Integrating third party development into Siri is absolutely massive to compete with Alexa, but Siri has several advantages that Apple looks to be cleverly leveraging: developer base, language support (Alexa only supports English), and multiple regions (Amazon Echo only works in the US). In addition, I really like the concept of using Maps, Photos, and iMessage as development platforms where smaller apps or promotional plug-ins that would be lost in the app store can be curated.
TL;DR There were a ton of little features announced that seem promising or are at least good attempts at catching up where other apps/services/platforms had distinct advantages.

We can now remove unwanted apps from the home screen Apple Support Doc. With third party Siri integration that makes some third party Apps pseudo-default appsPosted on 6/13/16 at 3:18 pm to bengri33
New File System too.
*Ding
Will probably happen at the Fall event.
Desktop and Documents folder in the Cloud is a step in the right direction, but I throw everything into my iCloud folder already anyway. I wonder if they will bump the 5 GB free storage in the fall to get more people on board.

Huh?

Most likely, that was an incredibly dense 2 hrs. and Apple saves a few key features to unveil at the September event.

My guess is they will bump the free tier up to 20 GB and make changes to the paid tiers. The seamlessness of iCloud is key.
