Will be really interesting to see how these web based platforms, where you are the product, addresses questions about privacy.

For sure they cannot offer what Apple is doing.

Also interesting how they played down the Apple data center chips.

These general WWDC keynotes are about 90 minutes long, they simply don't have the time to delve deeply in any one specific topic. There's a platform keynote that offers more meat for developers plus the individual WWDC sessions and documentation.

I'm not really sure what you would expect Apple to talk about concerning their datacenter silicon. They aren't the company that will list specs on their server configurations. And they won't be selling these chips, they are for their own exclusive use. For many years I have repeatedly speculated that Apple was testing Apple Silicon in their own data centers.

In the same way, they don't describe what espresso machines are being used in the cafes at the Infinite Loop campus or what sort of HVAC units or networking cable brand is at the spaceship Apple Campus. And when you go to a pizzeria, you don't know what brand and model number the industrial grade mixer used to make the pizza dough. Or the sewing machine used to make your jeans.

The most important thing is that the data is private and the system architecture can be inspected by third-party observers. The model number on the chip isn't really relevant to anyone but a fraction of Apple staff members.
