This keynote is so……… slow…
And can Siri finally give me a verbal answer to a simple question while I’m driving? Instead of telling me it’s unsafe or something?
Watching WWDC
Not sure why the stock is dropping?
SIRI looks very impressive to me.
So…Pro App bug fixes? How much slower is all of this bloatware going to make my devices?
Because the stock always falls with WWDC….stupid traders just not getting it. Give this time for the analysts to digest and off we go. Hope they go back to live for the September event…much better suited for live than WWDC, where there is so much info to pack in.
The stock dropped because most everything said was already out there as rumors. The only real reason it popped so much in 2024 was that at the time it seemed Apple would be barely behind with all those promises from WWDC 2024.
This one mostly just reiterated what was claimed in 2024.
This is part of why SJ always wanted secrecy for unannounced products. It would give wiggle room and probably surprise and delight the audience. That’s part of what drove him, to put people in awe of what can be done. Remember the disaster of .me cloud experience? That’s what 2024 ended up being a follow up on.
If they really deliver what was shown today, they will have a compelling experience worthy of what should have been the case in 2024. Better late than never.
