So it seems Apple have invented the file sharing service, and having ignored all the developments in programming languages for 20 years they've now come up with a new one that seems remarkably similar to lots of existing languages. They are an innovative bunch.

I don't think anyone said they invented the file sharing service. It's just their version of it, like Google and Microsoft have both done. Did they rip off Dropbox too? Of course.

It's 2014 and Apple still have not brought out +4 inch screen. That's why I moved to Google Nexus 5 and love it. I had an Android phone 3-4 years ago and it wasn't as polished as IOS, but now it's better by far. Was able to buy 2 Nexus 5's outright and move to SIM only contract for the price of a iPhone.

Apple don't typically announce new iOS hardware until September/October. I suspect the second half of the year is going to be a busy one for Apple, hardware-wise.

I think I'd wait to see if anyone is interested in the new language before bothering to learn it.

If you're an OSX or iOS developer, then ignoring it and not starting to learn it now would seem quite foolish. Its quite clear the eventual plan is to drop Objective-C altogether.

Yep, they will bring out a larger screen phone and the Fanbois will collectively orgasm as if it's something an advanced alien civilization brought to earth.

You mean they might catch with my Nexus 4, blimey cutting edge technology I must upgrade immediately

I seem to be the only person in the world who doesn't want a bigger screen phone, any task that requires a screen 5"+ I do on my tablet

Yes but the fanbois do not care what it actually is as long as it is new, shiny and with an apple logo it could actually be a curl of dog turd

But the same is true of the Apple haterz. They "do not care what it actually is as long as it is new, shiny and with an apple logo".

I don't particularly want a large screen phone either. I'm quite happy with my 4" iPhone.
