Support NeoGAF

[outunderthestars]

hopefully they add a GPS only mode for when we are driving in the boonies and need a bit of help

This is what I really need as I live in a remote area.

 

[tirminyl]

No iPad 1 support for iOS6. Guess that puts the nail in the coffin for it with me. Time for new iPad.

Ditto.

 

[Treefingers]

Have they mentioned a iOS6 release date?

Fall

 

[MThanded]

Glad i sold my ipad 1

 

[Gary Whitta]

Okay, I'm getting in on this beta. Too much good stuff to wait.

 

[amrihua]

This shit better be in 10.9.

It seems it is gonna be that way. iOS -> OS X

 

[jcm]

3GS support. Surprising, I guess it gets one more gen

Not in my pocket, it doesn't. I think they still sell them, though, don't they?

 

[PhoenixDawn]

worth waiting for

Yep, I guess that's what it is going to come down to. No point jumping the gun now when I've already essentially waited years and end up with a cheaper version of something. Just had to ask to reassure myself, thanks haha.

 

[LyleLanley]

10 minutes left until 3:00. One More Thing?

Because of Jobs' death I can't see them doing that again.

 

[Talon]

And how does crowd sourced traffic work? Do you opt in for it to send velocity data to Apple whilst you're on the highway?

The same way Waze worked, except at a much larger scale. Relative velocity over short areas.

 

[LCfiner]

Turn by turn matches the most important feature of Gmaps. But if the 3D maps don't have street view, then it would be basically useless.

A huge, useless boondoggle that nobody would ever use. And how does crowd sourced traffic work? Do you opt in for it to send velocity data to Apple whilst you're on the highway? If they expect people to tell Siri every time there is traffic, then nobody will use it.

Apple has made a good effort on this map software but I'm not ready to say they won anything yet.

absolutely . we need to compare actual results for business searches. reliability of the turn by turn directions. bunch of stuff needs to be in the hands of people before we can say who good or bad it is.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Okay, I'm getting in on this beta. Too much good stuff to wait.

The store is down! They won't let us in!

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So, more Siri, Facebook, other small tweaks, and new maps... Underwhelming is an understatement.

 

[pxleyes]

Are we going to have a buy-in for an apple dev account this year?

 

[criesofthepast]

So who's going to set up the GAF dev account? I just want to dick around with it and probably go back to iOS 5 because it will most likely be full of bugs.

 

[Cjdamon042]

Fall

 

[NekoFever]

I really picked the right time to sell my iPad 1. Got rid of it the day before the announcement of the iPad 3 announcement

 

[Windu]

no Apple TV talk, lame.

 

[Kosmo]

No one more thing

 

[brotkasten]

Well, it looks like my iPad has hit the end of the road. No surprise. It's pretty sluggish with iOS5.

But it's a bit weird that the 3GS will get it, with that overall weaker hardware and same amount of RAM. Seems kinda BS to me.

[StopMakingSense]

Not in my pocket, it doesn't. I think they still sell them, though, don't they?

Yeah, they don't want to leave out a phone that people still can buy

 

[giga]

Lol BGR. Fools.

 

[The Elite]

Holy shit. That was epic.

 

[kinggroin]

Wow. Dat apple presentation.

So back to functionality...

Any word if we still have street view, walk, bus, or rain navigation?

How about offline nav?

 

[outunderthestars]

Get an iOS developer account.

3GS support surprises me.

Doubt it will offer siri though

 

[JackEtc]

That was amazing.

PUT THE APPLE STORE BACK UP LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Fuck.

I still have to support the low resolution of 3GS? GOD DAMN IT.

 

[woxel1]

That was killer for WWDC.

 

[gcubed]

the one app thing went by with very few mentions here. Its a freaking fantastic feature

 

[StrikerObi]

Great showing.

 

[Nakazato]

well looks like im going to get the s3 sadly dont have the time to wait off on get iphone 5

 

[Keylime]

What a fucking conference.... fuck I'm exhausted!

 

[Divvy]

It should work the same way it works in google maps. They track the speed people's phones are moving at.

 

[SRG01]

So, more Siri, Facebook, other small tweaks, and new maps... Underwhelming is an understatement.

I wouldn't say it's an understatement; FB integration is probably more important than most people realize.

It should work the same way it works in google maps. They track the speed people's phones are moving at.

What if you're gridlocked and the guy on the sidewalk is walking faster than you??

 

[krypt0nian]

This was HUGE on so many levels. No one does pressers like Apple.

 

[Loxley]

With iOS 6 not hitting until fall (presumably with the launch of the iPhone 5), I'm a little more comfortable with the idea of waiting until then to upgrade from my crummy LG Rumor Touch.

 

[stupei]

Did they talk Mac Pro? Missed it, if so.

 

[Syracuse022]

And now I click on iOS dev center over and over until they let me download that beta.

 

[LCfiner]

OK, so no surprise Apple TV SDK.

no Siri API (but lots of new integrated services).

and macbook airs are sadly not using retina displays. sigh.


but, overall, not bad at all.

 

[Tobor]

Great job all around, Apple.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

booo ios6 not releasing today.

Why would you ever think that it would be?

 

[dc89]

Well. Apple just bossed the competition.

 

[eznark]

the one app thing went by with very few mentions here. Its a freaking fantastic feature

Announcement of the conference!

 

[Jafku]

Did they talk Mac Pro? Missed it, if so.

Nope

 

[Struct09]

My girlfriend is a teacher and has an iPad 2 she uses with autistic kids. Awesome update for her

 

[Gary Whitta]

That was AMAZING and yet I'm still bummed there were no new iMacs. They are way overdue, but if they didn't announce them here then WHEN? Silent update?

 

[Talon]

Did they talk Mac Pro? Missed it, if so.

Don't think they'd spend time on iMac and Mac Pro spec updates. I'm sure it'll be a silent store update sooner rather than later.

 

[badcrumble]

Apple hasn't done "one more thing" in years, guys.

 

[amrihua]

Time to upgrade my iPad 1 then.

Odd that it runs on a 3GS but not iPad 1?

Apple still sells the 3GS...
