Good summary of the new features announced yesterday.
If you were hoping for a shiny new Apple TV or wearable, you’ll be sorely disappointed by Monday’s WWDC announcements. But for those interested in advancements for both Apple’s mobile and desktop operating systems, iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite spell big news for both developers and consumers alike.
The biggest news for Yosemite is its redesign, which more closely unifies the desktop operating system with iOS. Broader iCloud-based syncing across Apple’s operating systems virtually erases the borders between devices. But updates to iOS, and the developer side of iOS, were the key focus of today’s presentation. With a slew of new APIs, an entirely new language for developers, and a handful of “kits” (HealthKit and HomeKit) for them to tie into, iOS 8 marks a huge step for iOS.
It’s weird article. As if written by someone who wasn’t there or watching the stream, but interviewed someone who interviewed someone who was there.
We did it instead of a live blog — I was there, I through-wrote the events rather than having them listed out time-stamped like a live blog. Right afterwards, we added the intro graphs for folks visiting the article after the fact.
