Overall I am impressed. Now I need to freeze myself Cartman style and wait for September. It feels so far away right now. At least we'll have a public beta of Yosemite before that. Shame on no public beta of iOS 8. I'd like to put it on my iPad mini. (My phone would wait until it's a lot closer to release. I need to actually use that daily.)

I am so looking forward to Continuity. It looks amazing.

I wonder how long before the OS X PB comes out.
 
Google better blow us away next month or I'm done. I'm fucking done.

Okay, so, I'm going to leave this thread open for about 20-30 minutes for immediate reactions and then unlock the general WWDC thread for the rest of the conference.

I figured that was the plan after some thought. This thread was specifically for the live streaming while the other was for the whole conference.
 
Continuity was the showstopper personally, but there are lots of cool stuff. Cool useful stuff, which is something that I thought Apple was going away from.

so this iOS8 beta... Is that for everyone or just devs? And if for everyone, how can i participate?

I think in the past there have been threads on here where people sign up to be added to existing accounts other GAFers hold on a first come, first serve basis. Not sure if this year will be the same.

I wonder how useful the beta will even be until developers get some time with it. Most of the cool features seemed to rely pretty heavily on third parties.

Exactly. It's like that for all betas. It's only a partial experience till all those app extensions and actions and photo extensions are available. And a apple might not enable the full iCloud document and photo features till fall.

But i'm way more excited than I expected to be. Big new features for both OSes.
 
Seems like iOS is finally catching up to Android on a lot of fronts. Which is a good thing for everyone. Gonna be really interesting to see what Google has to say at I/O.
 
I thought it was great. I'm not a programmer so the Swift announcement passes me by, but the rest of it was very solid. Some new iOS8 features have been in Android for some time, but it's good to see them in iOS - better late than never. As soon as Swype for iOS arrives I'm getting dat.

I have an Android phone and an iPad mini, so mobile wars don't interest me at all. Not a fanboy of either. I hope Google reacts decisively, I hope these announcements push them harder and the next iteration of Android surprises everyone.

Craig is a nut case too, all dem jokes. I wonder why Tim doesn't do much talking or showing off at these WWDCs. Steve would always be up there, sure he'll have other people on to demo but he was always up talking. Seems post Steve is all about dem jokes.

You're remembering incorrectly. In later years, Steve would kick it off and then Forstall and Robinson were always front and center for presentations - particularly with software.

Steve didn't really lead those software demos towards the end. He focused on hardware and still gave about half the time to Schiller.
 
Amazing WWDC. Both iOS and Yosemite delivered. Apple delivered.

I cant wait for all the amazing shit devs will come out with by the end of this year. OMGGGGGGGGGGG
 
How similar is Swift to Objective-C?

Does it look like it will be a good starting point for a new programmer?
 
Seeing that there was no slides about new Macs, I guess we can take it as that there will be no serious changes like rumors suggest for this year. Unless they have a huge hardware event.

what don't people seem to understand about this being a developer's conference? lol

They announced hardware on WWDC before. The rest of the year has a lot of iOS devices hardware announcements, so it makes sense for it to be here by order of elimination.

Considering the silent Mini update a while back, I guess they're just shifting to silent updates more heavily or something, because I don't think it'll come in the iPhone/iPad or iWatch keynotes.
 
Will this be like iOS7 was, where a dev liscence gets you the beta? If so I might have to repeat my shenanigans from last year.
 
The only two things I wanted that I didn't somehow magically predict are iTunes syncing through iCloud (I never want to have to open iTunes just to sync my phone and iPad. This shit should happen in real time with updates syncing as they happen. Especially in regards to play counts and last played info in playlists.) and Siri on OS X. Shame. I wanted to talk to my Mac too.

But I wonder how they'd play together if I have my phone, iPad and Mac all next to each other and said "Hey, Siri". Would they be smart enough to only have one of them perform the operation? Hopefully with the new awareness the devices will have there won't be conflicts.

Looking forward to Photos. It's basically what I wanted with Finder having a special view for my photos folder. I'd like to know if I can actually delete iPhoto and import all my older photos into the new Photos database or if I'll have to keep it for a while.

Cannot wait for the Yosemite preview site to go up. I want to look at all that Mac OS X eye candy porn. I am figuratively drooling just thinking about it. It is going to look amazing on my Retina display.

Anyone know what typeface it's using now? Is Lucida Grande dead?
 
I missed the beginning, did they announce quick reply for iMessages yet? So damn tired of going into the app to reply to someone
 
Anyone new who wants to give the beta a crack, I can probably add you. PM me with UDID. Free, but PayPal donations always welcome. ;P

But it's 5am and I'm going to sleep. :0
