Guest Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 starts tonight, keynote @ 10am Pacific, 7pm middle european time am always a bit stoked because I mostly live from that stuff, but tbh all I want is a new Macbook Pro which will probably not be announced here. dark-mode for iOS would be welcome if that comes out, don't care about siri at all. what's watmm's predicshuns?

sweepstakes Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I can't decide whether I'm going to like the OLED function keys they're predicting for the MBP, though yeah, that's probably later in the year. I need a new laptop ASAP but I don't want to jump the gun. I don't have any horses in the iOS or Siri races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 yeh who knows how the display strip will look like (if it's true)... personally don't think I'll need this, I mean what kind of indispensable improvement will it bring? if it does provide really nicely context-sensitive extra info/controls, it may be nice to have, yeh... but don't care about it... just hope they don't switch all the connectors to USB-C.... feel ya on the urgent need for a new laptop... I'm on a 2011 Macbook Air with 2GB of RAM & 64GB SSD, bought this as an emergency replacement when my old MBP broke down... it's holding up surprisingly well, but when Xcode fills up the RAM I'll see a beachball for 20 minutes and can't do anything..... and yeah buying one of the current MBPs would be a mistake, or maybe it wouldn't, if the new models come out later this year, HHNNNNNNNGGHF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublename Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The Apple Music redesign looks deece I guess. Kind of glad they haven't given me anything to lust after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 lol yeah Apple doesn't seem to care much about computers anymore, mostly because they have little competition. Really, both sides of the PC game are basically stagnant the last 5+ years, and it's quite sad. Not sure when we're going to advance beyond this little plateau with PCs.

doublename Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Today's pcs probably offer more than most people need as it is. I don't know if consumer machines have anywhere to go for people who just want media consumption, gaming and spreadsheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Maybe so, but it seems even those basic computers are hovering at their same price points or in fact increasing in price across the board. Just not seeing anything interesting happening is basically why I'm whining. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGreen Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I was hoping they would put some bigger SSDs in their computers. Instead they announced that you can offload your files to iCloud when you inevitably run out of space on your small soldered drive. And I thought they were going to revamp the App Store across the board... What happened to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublename Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It's kind of sad that they treat incremental updates to the music app as major features of the new OS. I wish they would just push individual updates to the stock apps like Google does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would just push individual updates to the stock apps like Google does. I came here to post the same. the Apple Music update was the only thing i was looking forward to and now its happening in "the fall". App has been around for a year already ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Mode? You need f.lux. It's free and wonderful. Don't bother waiting for Apple. https://justgetflux.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 sorry, meant dark-colored UI throughout.. grey or black instead of white.. well well, there's of course a ton of stuff in the frameworks for macOS/iOS which wasn't in the keynote... sifting through it, the most interesting thing I found so far is built-in support for neural-networks on iOS.. might be fun! Wanted to play around with this stuff anyway, most people seem to focus on image-based things, haven't seen much in the realm of sonic exploration yet...

Rubin Farr Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 "iOS 10 enables users to remove the following built-in apps from the Home screen on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Calendar Compass Contacts FaceTime Find My Friends Home iBooks iCloud Drive iTunes Store Mail Maps Music News Notes Podcasts Reminders Stocks Tips Videos Voice Memos Watch app Weather Game Center has been removed" Apple - all about removing the dumb shit no one wanted in the first place.

auxien Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 on the upside, a new modern file system for everyone Yeah, just seeing that on Ars. Can't believe that wasn't mentioned at all in the keynote...like, I understand maybe not focusing on it, but mention it? At least? It's a room full of fucking devs, I think they could deal with 60 seconds outlining 'hey, this is happening too, read up on it later...' but Apple is too Apple for doing things that make sense half the time.

Guest Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 yeh the keynote is mostly for press/blogs/public, everyone is all over that so they keep it simple... they went into more devy-stuff in the "platforms state of the Union" presentation which was also streamed.. a recording should emerge at some point, probably easiest via the WWDC app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
