Honest question to those attending. How do you pick which sessions to attend from the schedule list? They all sound so vague... <a href="https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/schedule/#!/" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/schedule/#!/</a>
Watching this, I can't help but feel that Apple has committed fully to a very specific target audience, and that audience is mostly the global affluent.<p>While this is not entirely surprising, it's still fascinating to see how much emphasis they put on things that I, a working-class-but-now-tech-middle-class, truly don't care about. Until a year or two ago I felt Apple still targeted at least my audience, but recent developments feel strangely alienating.<p>The alternative explanation is that Apple is spinning its wheels and just doesn't know what to do next, but what with the rise of global uber-affluent (Chinese and Russian elites, for once, see: gold themed products), this doesn't seem like a bad choice considering the competition. It just feels saddening somehow.
WWDC's website feels so bland compared to the Google I/O website. Monotone design, awkward text positioning.. there's just no excitement. Ditto for recent Apple keynotes.<p>There isn't anything new anymore. This isn't the Apple we knew a decade-or-so ago. It feels like Apple peaked around then, sad! They just don't try anymore.<p>I for one, really want to see Apple do something creative (but before they do anything new, PLEASE FIX IOS NOTIFICATIONS.. THEY'RE A JOKE COMPARED TO ANDROID)!
