WWDC21

The WWDC keynote was kind of crazy to watch from here. It starts at 1 in the morning and ends at 3am and there's just a lot of stuff packed into it. Like it was like two hours of bullet points about everything that every team was working on for iOS. There was stuff that was magical and crazy and new, like the universal control thing. And the text translation, there was some cool stuff like how they're making FaceTime, giving it more features to be more of a zoom replacement. And at the same time, there was some stuff that was like really dumb added into the keynote like new Apple account recovery methods. I don't think that's a keynote worthy. But it's just, maybe I was tired, but just watching it at 1 in the morning and like, you know, getting kind of delirious and about an hour and a half in suddenly, like I swear, like, you see something kind of crazy pop out of nowhere. Like, it was kind of nuts. I heard a lot of people, a lot of rumors and a lot of people were expecting a lot of different things and it seemed like none of those things materialized. I don't think it's really that surprising we're in the middle of a chip shortage. It's kind of crazy to think that Apple would be going from a one year to a six month cycle on iterating and releasing new hard or new silicon during a chip shortage. I guess this puts their next Apple silicon update at the one year anniversary of the original M1 release, which makes a lot more sense that'll be concurrent with the iPhone. That makes total sense. I don't know why everybody was predicting 10 cores, 20 cores, 100 cores, people were making crazy predictions for a 16 inch MacBook Pro announced at WWDC. It seemed kind of crazy, but I would have loved to see it, I guess. But yeah, anyway, I am installing betas on all my devices now to see how this works.
