Me: Hey Tim Cook, this year can we arrange the icons on our iPads and iPhones the way we want?
TC: Look how thin this thing is!

Apple never intentionally undercuts its presentations by releasing the press releases first.

I’d never jump on a new v.1.0 piece of hardware, especially with a newly transitioned OS and teething pains.
Anyway, so you’re the guy who buys new hardware days before WWDC? Nice to meet you!
I’ve actually had pretty good luck with 1.0 Apple hardware (my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro is still going strong). I’d be more worried about the software side of things, especially what third party software support is going to look like early in the ARM transition.

IIRC the first Intel Macs ran older Mac apps with a 20% hit under Rosetta, and it took the next-gen machines and OS to really take advantage of Intel processors. And there will always be straggler apps that some people like/want/need that won’t make the transition. Some MacPowerUsers™ will jump on the newshiny (hello to all those people who lived through the Catalina and iOS 13 betas!), but I am perfectly happy to let others march through the landmine field ahead of me so that I can safely stroll through later.
Memoji. Memoji everywhere.

On YouTube now:
So, it’s looking like everything we see during the keynote will be prerecorded video.

Ap Library on the iPhone/iPad makes me think I should just delete the unused apps that populate pages 3, 4 and 5 on my phone.
Widgets look great - like a cross between Android and WindowsPhone.
I still miss being able to organize my apps in iTunes on the Mac. I’ve got 100+ apps on my phone, in folders and in several pages.
I’d like to be able to view apps by Date Used, so I can better prune my collection.
I doubt PiP will work with YouTube - Google has forced 3rd party apps to remove that functionality, as it’s a benefit of their pay service.
Looks actually useful, yes. Having data you can use without opening an app is a plus.

Looks like its recorded from a spaceship
• More than ever, the keynote is consumer-focused.
• Face coverings on Memoji, lol.
• I’ve been expecting Translate ever since Apple introduced the AirPods. For privacy’s sake I’d love to be able to use it in my Mac web browsers too.
• Messages needs to build in more Slack-like functionality. It’s already a killer-app, but it could be more…

I’m enjoying it! I feel like I’m watching a keynote.
I have to say I do get a bit embarrassed when Apple trumpet ‘new’ things that everyone else has (inline replies, inline mentions etc.). Talking about really small stuff makes me thing ‘oh so there’s no big stuff’).
Finally on the fashion front I have to say Apple is massively middle aged looking these days!
