> I like how you say that you're no Apple fanboy but proceed with an absolutely content free praise post about how godly Apple is. You didn't even bother to mention a single feature of the update :D Everything I mentioned... is from the update and other stuff from the link. Seeing the massive amount of updates that actually seem like huge wins for consumers is what triggered the thought I typed out. We're on HN to talk about interesting angles/takes, and if you've noticed I hid at least two in my post, which is why I thought it was worth posting: - PMs at Google should really be worried right now - Apple needs to be broken up > The best thing is: you're the top comment atm while the features mentioned in other comments (those which acutally mention features) are hilarious: tab weather to get past weather, mark comments as unread and for whatever reason: pair your phone to your laptop camera. The rest of that is classic HN -- users here are so technical (and usually have long standing grievances/wants) that they are interested in very specific feature sets and less fazed by the rest (especially if unlike me they are already Apple devotees). > I guess I keep on not watching the presentation and wait how this thread develops. It's a fantastic advertising implosion. It's advertising, but it's also a shot across the bow (again, why I made my comment). Apple barely needs to advertise intentionally/drum up a buzz storm, and especially here on HN. Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world, WWDC touches the lives of many successful developers (they mentioned 33MM devs in the apple program, that is insane), it is naturally of importance to much of HN. The company, what it stands for, and it's history are all deeply embedded in the minds of technologists the world over. Again, I really am not a Apple fanboy (nor some Apple PR sockpuppet account): - I barely talk about apple on my blog[0] - I don't write Swift -- (it wasn't very good last time I glanced at it compared to the alternatives) - I definitely don't like ObjC (weird bad lisp? no thank you) - I don't develop apps natively (NativeScript for the win), I don't even have an active app developer account - I use an SE2, but most features stay off and I buy it precisely because I do not plan to change it for the next 10 years if I can get away from it (also, RIP FirefoxOS) I was just really impressed with their presentation, and my biggest take away were the thoughts I shared here, because they might be interesting (and Google PMs are here). Seeing a company this dominant is kind of alarming -- you can't do the usual handwave of "oh but their product is bad". The problem is that their product is actually very good, and they seem to be the ones that care most about your privacy and align with your goals.
