WWDC 2017 - humanpuff69 - 06-05-2017
Hi guys
i recently watched apple wwdc 2017 keynote live stream . and there are 6 things that they introduce in the event . the event already done now so if you want to watch you can just see the recorded one . so in this keynote they announced the update of four of their os and also a hardware update
the first thing they talked about is about tvOS for apple tv but there are not really thing that is interesting . even i forget what it is and there are no new 4k apple tv
the second thing they talked about is the new watchOS for their apple watch . they introduce the watchOS 4 . this update introduce the new faces for the watch . the most notable one is the siri face . basically it is the face with siri that you can ask . and also it tell you about important information and this information is dynamic . that mean that depend on the situation the information will changed . for example in morning they will tell you how much traffic jam . or in night it will reccomend you to turn of light from homekit or etc
the third thing they talked about is macOS or previously called Mac OS X . there also a rumour that this new version is the last version of mac os 10 and the next version will be called mac os 11 . they introduce the new version 10.13 called high sierra . basically they just add the new prefix to their existing version . just like before . they do it before with snow leopard and mountain lion . by the way . in this version they introduced the new file system called APFS or apple file system . this file system is much oprimized for flash storage like flash drive and solid state drive . and also APFS have a feature that if you duplicate a file it is very fast and doesnt decrease your storage space . and another thing that they announced is the new version of metal API called metal 2 . it have much faster api callback and also support for external gpu . but the most important and interesting is that they introduce the update to their hardware . first they introduce the new imac . it pretty much just processor update to the intel 7th gen kaby lake and also update the gpu to amd polaris RX 570, 575 and 580 . and also they improve the display to support 10 bit dithering. secondly they introduce the update to the macbook pro line . they update the processor and i dont know about the gpu but they also do a price cut . so now the 13 inch macbook pro is 1299 . just as same as the 12inch macbook . but the most interesting is that they introduce the new imac called imac pro . it is basically mac pro tucked in imac case . imac pro came with 8 , 16 or 18 core of intel xeon processor and also very interestingly amd radeon vega graphic . and it will get up to 16gb of VRAM . and it also have 4 usb -c thunderbolt port that capable of running 2 5k display and 2 raid enclosure
the fourth thing they announce is that the new iOS version called iOS 11 . iOS 11 not really have much difference in UI . but the control center is different . it is much better and have much better support for 3D touch . apple pay for messages , etc they talked about more thing than that but i forgot and also they make the os much better for ipad . for years ipad is known for just a bigger iphone because the ui look the same . but with this update they make a new change like now there are dock , better multitasking , sort of multiwindow ,drag and drop and the best of all FINALLY THEY INTRODUCE FILE . now you have a file manager in ios finally .
the fifth thing they talked about is the new ipad . they introduce the new 10.5 inch ipad pro . it is basically 9.7 inch ipad but with less border and more screen . and also it have more brightness . and they introduce the new 12.9 ipad pro . the new ipad pro came with apple a10x soc that is much faster than previous version . and next they demo something that is sort of mind blowing for me is that they use a professional photo editor that look like want to beat desktop version of photoshop because how fully functional it is . i forget the name . but they also talked that the ipad is as powerful as core i7 (BULLSHIT) and they use it for edit a movie poster and it actually turned great . and that is also the sign that pc or personal computer maybe come to death someday . and most people probably know that pc is old like those vcr , floppy disk , cd/dvd , and other thing in past . they simply know that pc is things in the past . oh i forget and they also announced thing called ProMotion . basically it is 120hz screen . well that is impresive for a tablet but for pc . pc already go to 240hz
and the last thing is that they introduce the (not) revolutionary amazon echo clone called HomePod . it is basically amazon echo or google home but with siri instead of google assistand and alexa . it have basically an iphone 6 without a screen and other phone feature because it powered by A8 SoC . it also offer a great spatial serpation which you need to hear it to feel the difference . it priced at 349 USD . not really worth it . i better just buy echo dot for 49 USD and a cheap speaker if i really want smart speaker that bad even though im not getting that (revolutionary) speaker separtion
so what do you thing about the WWDC 2017 comment below . and you should watch it too . you can probably find the recording on youtube
