    Why does it bother you, the presentation is made for investors. Investors want to know if Apple will still be able to compete in the European market and that’s all they really had to show.

      The WWDC keynote isn’t an investors meeting, it’s for Apple to talk about their exciting new features that are coming and to prepare developers for what their sessions are going to be like. The announcement was made with little fanfare because it was like a “FYI, your communication with Android devices will be slightly better for them now”

        It was originally for developers and press but it’s mostly for investors and press now. They practically never talk about APIs and tooling anymore.

        The place users are expected to learn about the products are in ads, on the website, their favorite news outlet, or the apple store. No regular customer even bothers sitting through a 3 hour presentation.

          ??? The keynote is immediately followed by sessions covering the APIs mostly for the features they just announced. It absolutely is for the developers as much as it is for the press and regular users to learn about what’s coming.
