Overall that was a very good WWDC keynote IMHO. The Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR certainly seem to deliver on what "everyone" has been asking for over the past few years. Those prices are in another solar system to consumers so we will without question hear a lot of moaning that Apple are over-charging and such which isn't really true. The reality is that kind of performance is way beyond what a consumer would need and those prices are perfectly in line with similar devices. Some nice additions iOS/iPadOS (Am I the only one who is irked it isn't iPhoneOS, iPadOS, etc??) that certainly makes the iPad Pro a more Pro device. I bought and returned an iPad Pro back in February because iOS was a huge limiting factor. I said at the time "iOS on iPad Pro is two years behind the Pro hardware" and I stand by that but it seems iOS 13 with bring that down to one year behind the hardware. Hopefully in 2020 we will see iPadOS mature to the point that the iPad Pro is a true professional device. Info on macOS Catalina was basically zero though. Some new apps to replace iTunes which we have known about for months now. Sync moving into Finder. The only interesting thing was Voice Control which is think is superb. I always champion accessibility so seeing Apple expand voice control is great. I feel they can improve the experience as there was a lot of needless filler words but it is a great step. Some interesting improvements to Safari on iOS/iPadOS but no word on what, if anything, is changing with Safari on macOS? With their new extension model coming into effect with Safari 13 I was hoping to see Apple say something about improvements to adblocking/tracking as we will be losing access to Unlock Origin which is a huge blow and I am unsure if I will be able to use Safari without it tbh. Sidecar will be nice although it is a damn shame that the iPad Pro screen will be the better screen with its beautiful 120Hz Pro Motion display compared to the lower resolution 60Hz one in the MacBook Pro. Hopefully we will see Pro Motion screens in next years MacBook Pro! For me personally the most interesting new feature is "Sign-in with Apple" and their unique email forwarding service. I have always refused to use the Google sign-in but with what Apple showed I think I would use Sign-in with Apple. At least for new services that I am unsure about at first. For all Apple's faults I respect that they do take users privacy seriously. So with the exception of macOS news I thought it was a very strong keynote that positions Apple well for the next few years providing they deliver on their words with the Mac Pro! The only mistake was mentioning the price for the new display accessories. $999 for a stand wasn't going to go down well and the audible groan was amusing. Now to check out the actual developer news over the next few days :)
