I'm usually one of those guys tempering people's expectations and shouting "it's a developer's conference!" and "why would you expect new hardware?!?" but even I must admit that with a new TV service likely off the table, this WWDC looks to be one of the most underwhelming in terms of reveals in quite a while. I'm already a Spotify Premium user and can't really imagine anything that Apple Music would offer that would make me switch, and rumors are that OSX SAN DIEGO and iOS9 are largely under the hood improvements that, while necessary, don't leave much for exciting demonstrations.

Oh well I'll still watch it to see the beautiful photos of their 8 new retail locations in China along with a creepily cultish video of both employees and customers celebrating Apple's glorious hardware.

Not terribly interested in installing Developer Previews of either of these OSes this year. What a disappointment.
Alternatively, at least you won't have to shout "don't install beta software on your main device" in the Apple threads over and over again.

They gotta budget at least 30 minutes for Apple Music.

I wouldn't be surprised if they left the watch stuff for the actual classroom stuff.

Supposedly that is happening today. I guess we'll see.
I thought it was only for the thing where people sign up for subscription based services through the app? Like if you downloaded Netflix and made a Netflix account using your iPhone then Apple would get $2.50 every month for your Netflix account, which was always kind of hosed up I thought. I even believe they tried to make it illegal for apps to link to an outside registration source so they wouldn't have to get taxed.
