@Cameron_W_Clark And yet, he was the only candidate that’s ever bought me a beer. I am gutted that my chance of having been bought a beer by a prime minister has evaporated… 😢
@JoannaG 👍🏻
@MarcSettle Interesting - maybe one of the specialist sessions, then?
@MarcSettle It was the sort of thing that gets announced at the State of the Union developer keynote later in the day. It always gets a tiny fraction of the coverage of the main keynote, but often has some really revealing stuff in it. I wish there was more reporting on it.
@jacoblo @baekdal And when they introduced the iMac Pro they were told - clearly - that there was still a segment that wanted more power and expandability than that. And they listened and delivered it. The iMac Pro sits in the place of the old lower end Mac Pro and monitor.
@baekdal @jacoblo Indeed, but the circumstances where that comes up are growing smaller. My iPad Pro can handle multiple 4K video track easily in LumaFusion. It’s arguable that Apple has a greater diversity of Pro-level products than ever before,
@baekdal @jacoblo What’s a “normal pro” though? That’s a vast category there. I’m a “pro”, but iPadOS looks like it’ll make an iPad Pro my main device. Apple has never tried to cater to everyone. Arguably only the iPhone ever has done so.
@jacoblo @baekdal This is a completely different class of device to those old displays, though. It really is a top end monitor - that competes with production and reference devices in the $20k range. The LG Ultrafines Apple helped design are “their” offering in that old space.
I think this piece nails the Mac Pro nicely. If you’re complaining about the price, it’s not for you. You’re a MacBook Pro or an iMac Pro customer. It’s for that — small but important — top end creative market where the performance is worth $11,000. sixcolors.com/post/2019/06/w…
Jason Snell (@jsnell) on why Catalyst apps might be good for…
…the iPad.
”Basically, the better the iPad app, the better the Mac app. This has some fun ramifications, because it implies that Catalyst may actually prompt developers to put more work … microblog.onemanandhisblog.com/2019/06/04/jas…
Here’s what excited me about the WWDC keynote today. The iPad Pro lifestyle just got more feasible. onemanandhisblog.com/2019/06/wwdc-k…

@chrisferebee Sighs of relief all around…
@MarcSettle Indeed - although, they’ll be 6 and 5 years old respectively at the time of iOS13 release, so it’s not awful.
@MarcSettle Nope - pulled it from the PR site.
My favourite sort of Apple keynote: I have no strong desire to buy anything new as a result of it, but I know all my devices will get better in the autumn. Result.
@xxmitchxx111 I’m not sure - it had the same chip as the 6S, so I assume it’s supported.
All in all, that feels like Apple worked its way through a big old list of things people have been complaining about for years, and got pretty much all of it done.
@charlietuna Thank you all - it’s one of the things I’m most excited about from today’s announcements.
@fraserspeirs Your house is going all Google in the near future, isn’t it?
@fraserspeirs Everything in the Tinworth household survives - but only because Hazel got an iPad upgrade a few months ago.
iOS13 supported devices:
“New software features will be available this fall as a free software update for iPhone 6s and later, and will be available with iPadOS for iPad Air 2 and later, all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 4 and later.”

I love it when they do these developer-specific sections in the WWDC keynotes. I mean, they mean nothing to journalists like me, but there’s something cool about making consumer tech journos sit through this…
Twitter for Mac is coming back…
