Nice of them to add speakers to Home, but I just wish they'd buy Sonos and be done with it.

Eh, I like Sonos as a standalone as is.

 

[Aiii]

Apple remains best at creating a connected ecosystem across all smart devices, absolutely love that aspect of their hard- and software.

The friends stuff in music seems nice.

 

[ty_hot]

My Windows Phone 8.1 had mall maps already. Google maps has those lane details since... i dont even know.

Cool features. Great features. Great that they are coming to iOS. But WHY THE HUGE APPLAUSE AND SCREAMING? lol

I see that Apple is bringing lots of machine learning stuff that are on Android (Google Now) since.... again, I dont even know. The machine learning related to screen context and new words in your keyboard is great, but it could just work wierdly depending on what kind of things you are reading online lol.

They are talking so much about the height that its more than obvious how the new iPhone will be. But I am even curious to see if the new iPads might also get a little bit taller.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

rip sonos. shouldn't have bought one a couple months back

 

[SporeCrawler]

It goes to the Wallet app as a gift card to pay for things anywhere Apple Pay is accepted or you can transfer it to your bank.

do they ask for fees when you transfer from your wallet or back?

 

[Zeyphersan]

Finally friends in Apple Music

Edit: I knew I wouldn't be able to resist the developer update. I can't wait for the public beta

 

[robotrock]

if i catch my friend listening to mac demarco or pentatonix we're done being friends

 

[AzerPhire]

Was hoping they would announce a Chromecast Audio like device for streaming with Airplay 2. I find the Chromecast wifi to be super flakey.

 

[Vashetti]

64-bit only announcement incoming

 

[jstripes]

Danger Zone.

RIP 32-bit.

 

[Auctopus]

Not to rag on them but I'm super surprised that friends thing wasn't already in Apple Music, it's something I use constantly in Spotify.

 

[The Real Abed]

I don't care about Apple Music. For me it's all local music only. I don't stream. I just want a better Music app with local playlists.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Are they gonna talk about Swift?

 

[subrock]

hopefully Airplay 2 is an improvement with reliability and not just a marketing rebrand

Me too, but we're the minority these days.

 

[Tom Nook]

Pokemon go?

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

i just want to see what the new "upgraded graphics" in the 15" MBP is but they haven't updated their damn site

Same.

I have a good feeling it'll jump be a jump from the 450 to the 455; reducing their SKUs and BTO options. The "cost" of bumping to the 455 is probably a few bucks. I'd bet the 460 will still cost $$ (which that GPU is disappointing for different reasons).

Really, really wish we'd get the 560 as a BTO, even if it is only a ~15% boost.

RIP fat Phil..

 

[cjp]

So Tim passed off the statistics updates to Phil?

😁

 

[Zombie James]

$999
$1299
$1599
$1999

That would have been more sensible.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Pokemon go?

not a mentioning of nintendo lol

 

[The Real Abed]

Pokeymon.

 

[Aiii]

RIP fat Phil..

Seriously, he's so thin. Thanks Apple Watch, ffs.

 

[dglavimans]

Riding on that Pokemon Go hype... year late but eh

 

[Majine]

Phil gonna kill the 32-bit app?

 

[Angelus Errare]

RIP fat Phil..

Still wearing fast Phil's clothes tho

 

[Gandie]

That would have been more sensible.

Yeah. No incentive at all to get the 12 inch.

 

[Fuchsdh]

RIP fat Phil..

Seems like Apple's drinking its own kool-aid with the fitness stuff. Everyone looks better this year.

Yeah. No incentive at all to get the 12 inch.

Same incentive as the OG MacBook Air. Bleeding edge weight and size savings. They just aren't ready to transition the rMB to the budget niche the MBA eventually occupied.

 

[Vashetti]

Phil gonna kill the 32-bit app?

Phil shed weight as a visual metaphor of how leaner iOS will be without 32-bit support.

 

[Ensirius]

Please be excited

I'm still priced out of the 15" and I'm a Apple Developer

 

[Aiii]

Please be excited

To be fair, that is a pretty big deal.

"It is APP-solutely beautiful."
Nice one Phil.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Thought he meant instant consumer app reviews. Like, I can just give a star rating in a window for an app *inside* the app. So sick of the apps BEGGING me to review something.

 

[Vire]

Monument Valley 2!

 

[Guess Who]

that stealth monument valley 2 announcement

 

[Guevara]

I never browse the app store.

I only ever use it when I have a specific app in mind to download.

It's not a mall, it's an order form.

 

[Gandie]

13" nonTB for 1299 is the sweet spot.

 

[Auctopus]

Finally. Less fluff between me and my micro-transactions.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Between this and the eGPU stuff, Apple has paid more attention to games than any time recently.

 

[Vashetti]

There's a setting to limit that in a recent iOS 10 update

 

[Fhtagn]

I'm a bit behind on the news but..,

That iMac Pro has my "want not need" going into overdrive like a Mac update hasn't done since the trash can Pro or longer.

Really happy to see such bold support for top end Macs after years of ignoring that sector. Bodes well for long term support of macOS; makes me feel happier about buying a 2017 or 2018 Mac to replace my 2011 MacBook Pro.

 

[rekameohs]

Ewww, Apple Music UI invaded the App Store

 

[ekim]

Hm... I was fine with the "old" App Store. That seems like a non-sense update in the first place.

This would be so great. Especially hate the apps that won't close the nag banner until you either exit to the app store or send feedback.

 

[ArchAngel]

Even less informations/apps on screen. Exactly the opposite of what I want -_-

 

[badcrumble]

Segregating 'games' from 'apps' is brilliant and is going to make a huge difference and give non-game app makers so much more room to breathe. It's been a long time coming.

Now support premium pricing plz Apple.

You're not everyone.
