When I did a lot of dual-platform mobile dev, the teams would always watch Google and Apple events.
The Apple ones were exciting, because they'd usually announce a bunch of OS and development-related stuff we could start using very soon.
The Google ones were kind of a bummer, because the (appropriate and justified) mood in the room was "well, this feature might be cool to use... in five years or so." The only people who got excited about them were the hardcore Android fans who weren't excited about dev-facing features, but because they'd always buy whatever new Pixel or whatever that was announced, ASAP.
