Repost from the iOS thread, but relevant:

Combat Pretzel posted:

Maybe they've something unique for iOS 8.
Healthbook should be interesting to see how they approach it, but without any solid info on the hardware side (biometrics stuff) it'll be kind of hard to really get a grasp on it.

Honestly I'm most excited for the supposed "visual overhaul" of OSX. I've got no issues with it now but I'm wondering how far they'll push the bar (iOS 7) or if it'll be more of a gradual thing.

Super disappointed if that's their approach, basically just copying and pasting elements of iOS over OSX. Blah.

Hating the frosted glass look if that's real. I don't understand their new obsession with frosted.
Should have expected it really, but I was still holding out hope.

I know they want to unify the OSX->iOS experience and vice versa, but having them be carbon copies of one another isn't really the way to go.

Then again this is the same company that brought us LAUNCHPAD and touted it as a revolutionary new way to access apps.

Guesses: Absolutely nothing new on the hardware side, OSX with ugly frosted glass iOS stuff slapped on top, no idea about iOS8. Likely just heart book and beacons and home auto concept stuff. Nothing tangible. iTunes Radio and other boring poo poo. The end.

So much of this conference has been competing with Google services, without the cross-platform clients, or flexibility of the Web. They're nice, but unless you work entirely in Apple from end to end, you're hosed.

Like, if I dual boot to Windows to play a game I lose my photos and messages and files and so on.
Lots of people do, and that's also what Apple wants. They don't give a poo poo about you using Windows.

Problem is, that's basically the "Exchange is great if you use Office and Windows" thing of the 90s. So much is done through browsers now that people view being hinged to a single ecosystem as a disadvantage.
I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that's their mindset and that's ALWAYS been their mindset so it's kind of dumb to expect anything different from them.

I'm more worried about the seamless iOS functionality and if they'll lock out older models based on the wireless/bluetooth technology.

I've got absolutely no reason to update my 2012 iMac but if some of that stuff won't work on it I'll be pretty annoyed.

Can somebody explain the changes to Photo Stream or iPhoto?

The iOS 8 tag line is: Photos. Every photo you take. Now on all your devices.

Didn't Photo Stream already sync your photos to all of your devices?
It had a limit and was also super weird/finicky about what exactly it synced. Now it's actually everything which makes the whole thing simpler (while also encouraging people to upgrade their iCloud storage).

Has anyone figured out how to enable dark mode yet? I actually like the look of everything, the simpler appearance is very clean. Looking forward to smoother operation on my 15 rMBP as it gets refined.
It's just a menubar change from what I can see. Check the desktop appearance settings menu?
