Hey there! Scott Stein here. Starting on a phone since Wi-Fi is...iffy!
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:23:25 PM
Appropriate since this is the show that’s all about iOS (mostly)
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:25:42 PM
Going to have make the ever-important Bathroom Run before this all kicks in. But for now, we have music playing and the devs are assembling
Shara Tibken 6/4/2018 4:29:42 PM
Whew. I'm finally in. Some people wish for world peace or to win the lottery. But what I wish for at every tech event is working WiFi.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:30:23 PM
Things I want to see: improved WatchOS (watch face store, sleep tracking, etc). iPad: trackpad! More laptop-like tools! A better smart connector! AR: multiplayer, and Google Lens-like features in IOS 12. That's my main stuff.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:30:41 PM
And of course, Siri improvements (as always)
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:31:47 PM
My hand already hurts. Time for stretches.

Breakfast - not quite the fancy food we have at Apple's campus events

Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:40:54 PM
Cables entangling all of us. When will we live in an AirPower world and have power-conductive pants
Shara Tibken 6/4/2018 4:41:03 PM
WiFi at today's event isn't working very well. So keep your fingers crossed that we don't get disconnected!
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:44:04 PM
hold onto your butts (connectivity at WWDC)
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 4:47:05 PM
There's a lot of frustration in the room because many folks can't even get their tethering to work.
Rahul 6/4/2018 4:47:22 PM
Hey Guys love your live blogs.
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 4:48:01 PM
Apple says it knows the wifi isn't working and is on it.
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 4:51:27 PM
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 4:52:20 PM
That's Shara Tibken, Scott Stein, Connie Guglielmo and Gabriel Sama waiting for things to kick off here.
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 4:55:11 PM
So I remember being in the room for WWDC 2005 when Apple announced it was ditching Motorola and adopting Intel chips (the switch took a year -- need to get developers buy in, obviously). Wonder if this is the dev conf where they ditch Intel and go to all Apple chips. We'll see.
Shara Tibken 6/4/2018 4:55:35 PM
Well, WiFi is not working at all. I’m typing this from my phone. Ugh
James Martin 6/4/2018 4:56:49 PM
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:57:51 PM
I'll be tweeting at times, too, at @jetscott. Especially after the keynote ends.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:58:17 PM
Connectivity is so rough that I couldn't even get video on a Skype to CNET Live.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:58:37 PM
Let's just hang on and think good thoughts.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 4:59:27 PM
There was a fairly large puddle of water in the bathroom. Just wanted to share that.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 5:00:18 PM
The lights are dimming.
Here we go...
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 5:00:48 PM
A video with idyllic scenery. Life Life On Earth.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 5:01:06 PM
Is that Attenborough??

It's a jokey video about how hibernating developers attend WWDC.
Shara Tibken 6/4/2018 5:01:38 PM
The music is blaring so loud in here, it almost sounds like we’re at a rock concert
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 5:01:43 PM
This is pretty great. "Nocturnal cave dwelling creatures must meet daylight."
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 5:01:57 PM
"The sun is harsh for these nocturnal dwelling creatures."
James Martin 6/4/2018 5:02:00 PM
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 5:02:35 PM
Developers identify each other through decorate tribal suits...

"Silver crested king developer" - Hair Force One
Connie Guglielmo 6/4/2018 5:03:14 PM
The room is laughing at this pseudo Nature-channel documentary, making fun of developers. I'm sure they'll post once keynote is over. Worth a watch.
Apple has a sense of humor.
Scott Stein 6/4/2018 5:03:31 PM
Was this actually shot last year? I can't even tell
