As the headline says, if Spotify is the dominant provider in the EU so it can hardly complain about Apple Music dominance.

We all have a choice which service we use so there’s no need for any external pressure.   If you want to build your company provide a reason why customers should buy from you.

It’s just nonsense and noise and just another attempt by companies to blame Apple for their incompetence.

Apple can´t afford to continue with their tiny uprades from WWDC to WWDC. 

WWDC 2024 was a disaster after Apple has failed to deliver what Apple promised. 

Google I/O was an "All or nothing" event with survival instinct to overcome risk of their existence. Google made a great job with I/O. 
Open AI steps up with Jony Ive to open a new chapter. 

After those revolutionary steps from others, people clearly expect from Apple to responde with similar steps.

Okay...lots of weird things. 3 things - 

1- can a president just decide not to enforce a law? One where the stated reason is based on implied foreign manipulation?

2- The Dem's were idiots for passing this in the first place. The nature of the stated concerns are obviously ridiculous.

3- I don't have a 3 I guess...but this is really silly.

OK, I’ll ask. Why is it OS 26 when it’s
going to be announced and released in 2025. Why not OS 25?

I’m going to assume it has something to do with the Mac OS numbering system. Companies often change their version numbers for a variety of reasons, usually marketing related. For example, when the Xbox 360 launched, it was actually the second generation of Xbox, competing against the PlayStation 3. But if parents were comparing an Xbox 2 to a PS3, they would probably assume the PlayStation was newer or better. So Microsoft named it Xbox 360 to avoid that direct comparison, and marketing provided a reason to justify the name.

If Apple really is switching to OS 26, it could be a similar move. It might be about unifying the system across all devices. If an iPhone, iPad, and Mac all run OS 26, it reinforces the idea that everything is part of the same ecosystem. As for why the number 26, I’m not sure, but maybe if you count all the previous versions across major OS changes, it adds up to the 26th generation.

The intro piece with tim and craig was funny. I'm not a F1 fan (not even exactly sure what "F1" is other than a car race) but was actually the best part of the whole keynote. YMMV. (!)

I do sort of chuckle a bit when people try to allocate gains and losses to specific things. Best example is how people claim "the USPS loses money." Government services aren't a business to show profit. Just how much money did the DoD make last year? So too with tim's explanation here. ATV doesn't "lose a billion a year." It is part of a bigger thing.

F1 is also a key at the top of your keyboard.

Personally, I thought the song at the end was the best part, but I did like the F1 bit as well.

No offense, but are you a developer?  It's a developer conference where developers are introduced to new capabilities introduced in the new OSes.

You can't judge a conference by its keynote.

It's possible that the conference is ultimately "underwhelming," but its the conference attendees who will decide that.

And it's day 2 of a 5-day conference!

Wise man. 

He understood success was the goal. He measured success by quality. It had to be the best. 

And if it was the best, all the goals of business would automatically be met and accessed. 

The man had strong vision. Fought tooth and nail for it. And it paid off.

So... Apple can´t solve it alone. Apple is way too late in the game.
It shows that Apple is really behind in AI. 
RIP Apple. 

*yawn* Apple has always had numerous external suppliers however like other strong brands before them they are very good at presenting their product and their brand. Nokia did a very similar thing with a very similar supply chain management strategy in the early 2000s

As to being late in the game, what game? Approximately the only people making money out of generative models at the moment are Nvidia and power companies.

The current state of the market is a bubble and cannot last.
