WWDC 2024 [video]

I like how fast they turned “ha ha, at least they have a sense of humor about how stupid it is that it’s taken this long to get Calculator on iPad” into “…oh my” when Pencil entered the picture.<p>Good that it delivers something really nice and isn’t just <i>finally</i> getting the damn thing on iPad.

I&#x27;m not an iPhone user and not aware of any anti-spam features the Mail app already has, but I wonder how many marketing managers recoiled in their chairs when Apple introduced a GMail-style &quot;promotions&quot; folder away from the inbox, and say it&#x27;s easy to group-digest and delete all mails from a single business.<p>edit for typo and clarity

This feels like a parody of itself at times. I really wish they&#x27;d make these less cringeworthy so I could actually sit through the whole thing.

If you&#x27;d play a drinking game where you take a sip everyone assumes that awkward power stance, you&#x27;d be completely wasted 20 minutes in

So far, everything should have just been a blog post

I have to wonder what Jobs would have thought about contemporary Apple using AI to mindlessly generate imitation Pixar images.

this is the video form of &quot;bug fixes and performance improvements&quot;, and about as charismatic

Got in late, seems like I can&#x27;t rewind on this stream??

I <i>really</i> wish they would switch these back to being live. It just adds a human element that cannot be captured with this crap. Steve stood up there in a black sweater and let the tech speak for itself. On these I&#x27;m stuck beholding the same class of high-income-Silicon-Valley-mid-40s where they are all kind of weirdly look and sound the same even though they are all trying so hard to have unique styles and they are all just <i>so</i> excited to be telling you the thing that is really important and gives their life deep meaning and peace and they are so happy.

and once again - another year with a great iPad Hardware wise but essentially unusable for coding tasks software wise.. Would love a reason to buy one and use as a travel coding machine but without local support it remains a non-starter

I dislike a lot of the iOS changes are making it more &quot;Android&quot;. It doesn&#x27;t make things any easier or simpler. If I wanted ultra customisation I would have gotten an Android. And no Password App on iOS 18.

Apple announcements, especially WWDC used to be very exciting. I&#x27;ve watched all Apple announcements live since 2020ish. This is the first year where I am not watching live because it&#x27;s been &quot;meh&quot; for a while now, and I can just read about it later.

I expect Siri&#x2F;OpenAI integration is going to be the star of the show.

And here’s the Apple Developer link… <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;wwdc24&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;wwdc24&#x2F;</a>

Shame there was no mention that the Apple ][ launch on June 10, 1977. At least I didnt see anything in the running MacRumors summary.

Interesting the AAPL stock took a downturn right at 2:10pm EST after going up.

Math notes looks incredible, but it&#x27;s probably one of those features that will be infuriating for anything remotely complex.

To a technical person, the discussion around AI felt really creepy and disingenuous, full of irrelevant distractions

lol .. place icons anywhere
