Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. June 2-6, San Francisco.

Live Stream (Apple) — Apple - Apple Events - Special Event June 2014

OMG! Apple created history. Have not seen any company launch a new OS version, change the fundamental programming language and strip away OpenGL at the same time....

extension without the sandbox is the biggest win for all - more 3rd apps to use iOS

Swift...will see if its really that easy to use... :o

Well with the industry command that Apple has, you can be sure it's not going to be whether it will be adopted. It will be adopted because just the integration with Metal is good enough for all developers to jump in. So if you are an iOS developer, don't even need 2nd thoughts if you need to learn this new language. All the new functional concepts is going to make some part of it header than Obj-C, but that's already how the leading programming languages are heading. Functional is the future of programming languages.

As for extension, it is definitely exciting to see Apple going liberal, but it is still within sandbox with controlled interfaces via the core. That will require explicit collaboration. Meaning software need to be written in mind for plugins, and other developers can participate. So most likely we are looking at mature applications using this technique to entice developers to contribute into their application.

One good use is the means to create SSO among a group of applications. The sandbox model doesn't make it easy and possible. You might also see Microsoft Office using this technique to create more collaboration between their own suite of applications.

Definitely we are looking at Swift reaching Mac OS X. Apple wouldn't spend the effort to create a brand new language so that it's only available for iOS. Mac OS X will get it in time and with Metal also eventually onboard, we are looking at a new platform with much of the OpenGL stripped away. That means possibly Parallels using it to create much much faster 3D acceleration within guest machines.

The new features sets in both Mac OS X and iOS are definitely exciting, but in my opinion, what makes the time for me to sacrifice my sleep worthy in this WWDC is the development framework portion. It is really mind blowing, I'm impressed with the boldness of Apple to make such a move. It's somewhat a game changer.

Erm,... I do not know what claims people made for the keyboard. So I do not have comment on this.

But on the upgrade ability part: A 4 yo iPhone 4 can upgrade to the public release of iOS 7.

How high in terms of official firmware version can the original Galaxy S series upgrade to, which was also launched at the same year as iPhone 4? Additionally, the same for Galaxy SII, which was launched one year later?

3 months after you buy your dream android, a new model comes out. 6 months later they tell you your old phone doesn't support kit kat must buy new one. Song bo?

Third party keyboard on third party apps.

iPhone 4 is already 4 years old. Is your three year old android phone still supported and run the latest OS?

I look forward to both OS X Yosemite and iOS. The predictive texting is similar to Swiftkey, while the continuity features are pretty interesting.

now you want to be so specific over tiny details then why apple did even patent something as ambiguous as a shape?
