Any support for decent graphics yet? Switch to Arm yet?

What? Does that mean it’s going to run Windows?

The MacPlank architecture?
or MacHawking? Macshrodinger?

Is my phone on, or off??? - oh, dear

The UIKit/MacOS integration sounds like one of the most interesting out of that lot, despite being tucked away at the end as it's a future thing. The machine learning stuff also suggests there could be some interesting new hardware coming along in the not too distant future.

3. iPad with a decent keyboard. I have the logitech clamshell one, which does a great job of protecting the screen, but I believe they don't do it any more.

iPad Pro has a decent keyboard. It’s not cheap but then it’s Apple.

And we're off, with the obligatory first fifteen minutes of "Look, aren't Apple wonderful!" guff

Bear in mind today's thing is opening a developer conference, not a product launch event. Though they will say what they're planning to do, there isn't usually much along the lines of "This is our new toy and you can buy it now" - more "We'll have a new toy later in the year and you can start ensuring your applications will work with it now".

Also, do remember that you should never install any software betas they make available today on a device you also need for non-development purposes, such as your daily-use phone or the laptop on which you do your company accounts…

6. Free upgrades for anyone who has Apple products.

Yer right. That would go against their policy of screwing every penny out of all the drone fanbois that will buy anything with an apple logo on it.

[woohoo]

I’m going to be pretty pissed if they announce a new watch!

[Platypus]

4. facial detectors on an iPad so that if you doze off watching something, it switches the iPad off

I read that as fecal detectors, which confused me

[Platypus]

And slower??

ha ha ha

nah, I'm sure not
