Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:04:06 PMIf Apple wants iPad to be a viable computer and Mac alternative, it needs to start becoming one even more starting today.
-
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 5:04:16 PMThe MacBook Pro got a big update Fall 2016, adding the Touch Bar and an updated design, but other than that, the last big "new" Mac move was the 12-inch MacBook, intro'd in Spring 2015, and refreshed in early 2016.

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:04:29 PMAnd yeah, iPad needs ... something. Apple’s iPad lineup, once the company’s hottest product line, has been in a free fall for the past couple of years.

Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:04:30 PMThat being said, I use 9.7 Pro daily as a commuting computer and quick-access thing. Just missing a few critical tools.
-
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:04:42 PMThe company in May said it sold 8.9 million iPads in its fiscal second quarter, down from 10.3 million a year earlier. The quarter marked the 13th-straight decline in Apple's tablet unit sales.

Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:05:02 PM(One thing I barely ever use is Pencil, but I can't draw anything more than cartoon dinosaurs)
-
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:05:26 PMI did three things on Lynn La's WWDC San Jose guide. Winchester Mystery House was awesome. Can WWDC compete?
-
Ry Crist 6/5/2017 5:05:40 PMAdd the potential Siri speaker to Apple's list of overdue upgrades. When the Echo debuted in 2014, Apple was pushing Siri, HomeKit, and Apple Music -- would have been a *great* time to introduce an Echo of its own.
-
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 5:05:46 PMI'm a big fan of that 12-inch MacBook, even though it just has an Intel Core m processor and a single USB-C port (and a very shallow keyboard). It's so light and responsive (at least when doing everyday stuff...) that it's one of my fave pick-up-and-go laptops.
-
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:05:57 PMThere will be a random cheer every once in awhile, and I keep thinking Tim Cook is walking on stage.
-
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:06:05 PMBut we're still hearing blaring Beats 1 music (I assume).
-
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:06:59 PMLights down!

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:07:06 PMThere's a section of developers in front of us, and now the lights are dimming, more are standing up.
-
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:07:11 PMI hope they realize this isn't a concert. haha

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:09:59 PMThe tag line was "keep making apps. The world depends on you."
-
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:10:01 PMGreat. Really funny
-
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:10:07 PMWow, a "Face Swap" surgery center. And post apocalyptic fair of app re-enactments.

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:10:38 PM"Welcome to WWDC. It's great to be back in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley and right down the street from Apple and our new campus."
-
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:10:45 PMIt's been 15 years since having WWDC in San Jose, says Cook.

-
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 5:10:58 PMGreat intro video about an app-apocalypse. But it kinda makes the case for web-based apps and tools over standalone apps, amirite?

Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:12:36 PMThere's a 10-year-old coder here. He started coding when he was 6 and he already has 5 apps in the App Store, says Cook.
