I might be in for a new iPad, just not now. Later.

I need to get to a store to check them out, Sonos has them for 350 for the pair until the 14th which is making it even more enticing at the moment.

No Mac Mini love 
How does the iMac Pro compare to the Surface Studio? $2k difference.

dev portal back up
must be a mistake right?
Intel no longer calls what used to be the "m5" and "m7" "Core M" anymore. They're just i5 and i7 now.
I was wondering that too. I just expected them to (and would've preferred them to) shrink the 12.9" res to 10.5". Seems weird that they made a new resolution for it.

Thanks. I'm on an airplane right now and couldn't follow everything. Sucks I'm not at home as the credit card I wanted to use is there. Hopefully I can get one for delivery next week later tonight.
Hope so.
Especially night mode.
iPad is good I admit. Personally I never use mine so I only care about the phone.
Pretty sure I'm in for the new iPad 10.5" so I can retire my Air.
As a very long time (as in since the 80s) Apple fan, this was the best WWDC in years. Made me feel like the Mac matters again and made me feel like iOS 11 will justify the Pro in iPad Pro.
The watch features and Home Pod seem cool too.

How sure are you that this isn't going to just steal IDs and stuff?

It looks like the size of a Sonos Play 1 if not even bigger than that. It feels like you're setting a very specific criteria of what qualifies to compare and we haven't even heard the audio quality yet compared to say a Sonos or other comparable speaker in size. I guarantee this won't sound as good as a proper speaker if you really do care about audio quality that much.
Thnx!

I just bought a Macbook Pro 13 inch without touch bar, like Saturday. Can someone please tell me that I didn't get screwed over or just tell me how it compares?

How big of a jump is the MBP Radeon Pro 560 compared to the 460?
Still within the return period, no? Unless you bought used. 15 calendar days.
Check out /r/iosbeta; it´s working.

I don't think most people actually want large speakers, especially if they're living in an small apartment. But they'd like to have something better than their Macbook speakers, and if it has Siri voice assistance with actual privacy-first all the better.
I see the potential of this being a word of mouth hit, where people go over to a friend's house and love the sound. Assuming the sound is great, that is.
The only legit way is to have a paid developer account.

9.7" is easier to hold and carry, besides being more portable and $150 cheaper.
The unwritten rule is to never buy an Apple product if they have an event coming up. If you're dropping more than a thousand bucks on something you should know that.
Maybe you can return it?
Give it a few hours, it'll pop up somewhere.
It's just painfully easy on iOS because you can easily get the beta profile.

You didn't know WWDC was today?
Definitely should have waited a couple more days for these announcements.

MacBook and iMac updates across the board.
APFS filesystem default on Mac. 10x metal performance improvements. External eGPU support, an actual apple eGPU enclosure coming later in the year (wtf, didn't expect that), a lot of noise about VR and AR and the importance of GPU's. I guess Blizzard not porting Overwatch has made them up their game!
AR demo on the iPad was pretty nuts, and iPad centric iOS improvements are nice.
HomePod looks fine and is priced as you would expect as a Sonos rival.

We have 4 Sonos 1 in the office and I think they are bigger. Well, wait and here I guess. ;-)
You're right there.
I can use a sonos with pretty much anything though, this will be hard to accept if this thing is closed and only usable with Apple Music.
I opened this on my iPhone and it took me to a beta settings page, is this ios11 already?

...hate me...
The thing with the cool speaker homekit commands is that you can do the exact same thing with your iPhone (since 6s) which picks up your voice quite well too. Not to mention your Apple Watch. And they're with you the whole time.
It's a homekit hub, but so is a much cheaper Apple TV.
So what needs to sell this device is its sound quality. And it better sound better than a Sonos Play:1 that I almost bought last Christmas for half the price of this. But it is ultimately something for lite audiophiles.
It's not the AirPods situation where the device was fairly unique.
Besides, the Siri improvements didn't seem to be that many. Until we can say "Hey Siri, play x on the Apple TV" I don't know what they are doing with it.

I wanted to buy a new Macbook but the update does nothing more me.
Heck, I would have been fine with an HD Facetime camera and not the joke they have put in it. But in he end, they really only updated the processor and it costs the same aas the new Macbook Pro without the Touch Bar? Hell No.
Amazon also took all the wind out of the new speakers sails with releasing one with a display right before Apple.

They probably want to keep that as an iPhone exclusive feature.
Just as Apple Pencil is iPad exclusive.
It's the iOS 11 developer beta
What? It should ask you where to install the profile. Select iPhone. Restart. Search for iOS update. Done.

Great keynote all around. iOS11 looks great with the new iPad features. Definitely getting Homepods next year and thinking about the new iPad Pro. The case with the Pencil holder is cool but way to overpriced at 149 Euro.
