Apple WWDC 2015: Official Thread

[Dietrichw]

Swift being open soucre is a big deal

[Victorious Secret]

 

 

Swift is entirely open source. 

 

 

[jaggysnake57]

swift, open source damn

[AlexGoesHigh]

swift going open source just made microsoft bridge so developers can use their code for windows 10 apps much faster to build

[TroubleKlef]

oh wow. Swift open source and iOS 9 going back to all the way to like iPhone 4S? What a move.

[cesrai]

If it ends up being a well maintained, thoroughly updated thread as I'm sure it will be, who really cares?

With your response I guess you care ?

[Victorious Secret]

 

30 billion dollars have been paid out to developers. Thats impressive. 

[SamNeedham123]

I'm still delighted, and overcome by the fact that the iPhone 4s and iPod Touch 5th Generation is still supported!

"We don't have to own things"

- lovely inspirational app video

 

no no no no no no no no no I hate everything about this wah.

 

I want my music I want my car I want my movies 

 

 

*cry*

 

But seriously, I'm so against that. The scary thing was the tone of the video, which wasn't just a statement of the times, it sounded a whole lot like Apple telling the sheep (whoever you deem them to be) "YOU DONT WANT TO OWN THINGS, YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE OK WITH IT" "WE ARE TELLING YOU WHAT TO THINK"

[Victorious Secret]

 

Native apps ahoy. 

 

 

 

Developers can now make their own information for the watch faces that have such a thing. 

 

 

Time Travel. Basically using the digital crown to peek ahead into whatever you have lined up for the day.

I own 171 Steam games.  This account goes back to Counter Strike: Source, and it includes the first non-Valve game "Ragdoll Kung Fu".  So many great games over the past 10+ years.

 

Make no mistake, however.  I only play games that I purchased in the past ~3 months.  If I were paying for a $15/month for a subscription over the past 10 years instead of purchasing-to-own, I would have actually saved money.

 

Yes, I know it is a tough pill to swallow, but subscription-based (depending on price) will actually save you money.  Do the math.

[Victorious Secret]

 

 

Basicaly, every iOS feature is being put natively onto the Watch, especially things like HomeKit. You can even request to see glances for apps not on the Watch, so long as the phone has it. 

 

 

HealthKit will also be natively on the Watch. Basically everything will natively run on it. The Watch can finally put that onboard WiFi to use.

I realize it'll save money, and it's the way things are headed. Doesn't mean I like it.

It's like a horse pill, dunno how I'm gonna swallow that.

If the HomeKit stuff hits big, the 'set the dinner scene' stuff is actually really cool. Apparently the audience didn't think so until he told them it was cool. (I lol'd)

[Bsmith]

apple is hitting google pretty hard i must say, damn google can pack it's bags on IOS i guess.

[Victorious Secret]

 

watchOS 2 beta is available today, full release in Fall as always 

 

[Victorious Secret]

 

 

ITS HAPPENING! 

 

 

[TroubleKlef]

I hope Apple Music is good!

[AlexGoesHigh]

apple music confirmed

[TroubleKlef]

Why is Satya Nadella presenting for Apple

[TroubleKlef]

Stream music from the entire iTunes library? So does that mean Taylor Swift?

[Victorious Secret]

Apple has been busy firing shots at news aggregation apps, Google and now all music streaming apps. Not sure if it'll work but its been hilarious to watch. 

 

[AlexGoesHigh]

LOL they brought Drake on stage

[Bsmith]

LOL they brought Drake on stage

 

from all the possible artist's they could pick they got Drake? that's quite a let down, but a very big name, even for people that don't listen his music

[TroubleKlef]

Like you said he's a very big name, possibly the biggest name in modern music. He may not appeal to the WWDC crowd or us on LTT but his support for Apple Music is going to be huge for the majority of people Apple is targeting with their new music app.

[Victorious Secret]

Drake is a known quantity. People like to think all these other bands or artists are more important, but Drake fronts one of the most profitable NBA teams in the league, his music is world known and he himself is just a plain well known person. Thats the kind of person you want fronting your new product, cause he gets everyones attention even if his music isn't as well received.
