    Starting to use Siri more for setting Alarms/ timers and calendar stuff, quite handy.

    In the AR demo it looked like a redesigned iPad on the table. Much flatter and thin looking.

    ARkit means some device is imminent. Probably September.

    Using the iPhone for ar seems pointless

    This WWDC was hugely focused toward the pro market. iOS and macOS were very prosumer focused as well as all the hardware releases so far. Still some nice features for the average consumer too.

    I reckon the last announcement will be the Siri speaker. Definately a long event at over 2 hours already.

    Was it just the iPad Pro that updates were announced for. Did they mention the mini or standard iPad ? I missed that bit.

    The spatial awareness of the HomePod looks interesting. I'm more than happy with my Bose Soundlink Mini though, and won't be changing!

    It's not available until December. It's very early to announce it, leaving 6 months wait time!

    They're crazy at that pricing. More than double the competition. I thought they might price it $250 max, never $350.

    Good keynote some long over due developer features. HomePod looks good but at that price it's a little too spicy right now.

    Considering the price of the AirPods, I thought it was going to be $300ish

    Yep very pricey. Depends on the quality of the speaker I suppose but even at that it's mad money. Locked into Apple Music as well by the looks of it which wouldn't suit me as a Spotify user.

    Will be next year before we see it here anyway.

    Anyone remember what the original 9.7" Pro sold at? Was it ?699?

    Macs are up now too. Still shipping with SATA hard drives in the lower models in 2017 seems unnecessary.

    Remember the top iPad was €499 for the entry level configuration. Really starting to hate Apples tactics of raising the average selling price of everything.

    It's like they reached flat numbers across the board and decided on the pro strategy to raise prices further.

    iPhone 4 was €499, now €779.
    iPad 2 was €499, now €749.

    I know you can buy different models such as the SE and the 9.7" iPad but they're lesser products with old specs. Big difference in pricing between the old top end of the line and what's currently available.
