Matt Birchler: As one final note, I think the thing that made this WWDC feel a little flat for people like me is that the segment on software updates was incredibly short. Typically, we get an hour and a half of updates detailing all the usability improvements made to the platforms. This time, we got it all blended together in a single 11-minute segment. Initially, I was a little underwhelmed by this year’s WWDC keynote, but it made sense for Apple to focus on the headlining features—media coverage tends to appreciate those as opposed to “we fixed a lot of bugs and made things nicer.” The Platforms State of the Union has become the more thorough session to really understand what Apple is bringing to the table every year, but still focused on software development (it is a developer conference, even if we forget that.) Nonetheless, I wholeheartedly agree that a session focusing on the less exciting improvements as a whole would be welcome by a lot of people.
