  • Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 processor is 12x faster than Intel's version

    Ok, fine they came out with it, thus I was wrong. Still, a different size. Still not feeling it needed to be announced.

    Seemed to miss Game Mode. The feature to dedicate more power to apps.

    When has there been WWDC main keynote longer than two hours? I don't think so. They will not announce all those Macs at WWDC, unless they are revolutionary. They maybe release them the same day, but not announce them. This is a developer's conference, not a hardware conference.
    Someone says this every year and someone else discredits this statement every year.  Hardware has been announced SEVERAL times at WWDC.  Why do people keep saying this?
    Exactly. Not to mention that we already know Apple will announce and showcase its VR headset at WWDC, one of its biggest (and riskiest) HARDWARE launches in the history of the company. So much for "not a hardware conference." 
    Not what I said. Why would the Air for example be announced at WWDC? What feature is so good as to be announced at WWDC?
    The M2 MBA was announced during WWDC 2022.  So it can definitely happen again
    it is not that it can't be announced, I just don't see it important enough, compared to everything else that is expected to be announced. If it was a slower year, sure I can see that, just not this year.

    You misread what I said. Yes hardware is announced at many WWDCs, and there is highly likely there will be hardware announced this year. This is developers conference, where most of the keynote is software. To expect all of these Macs to be announced is silly. That would be make this a heavy hardware conference. Why would the Air be announced this WWDC? What feature with the Air is so good, as to take away time from all the software feature? What is it about the Air that is pro enough to be announced with all the other Pro level Macs and goggles? 
    What's "silly" is your belief that experience with pre-pandemic live WWDC keynote length is relevant in a world where the keynote will be entirely pre-recorded. 

    It's entirely possible that while the entire keynote is much longer than 'normal', it might also be made available in smaller 'episodes' for people to watch who are only interested in those specific episodes. So maybe you can either binge the whole thing, watch all episodes but not all at the same time, or watch only the episodes you care about. 
    The schedule is already out. How are we debating that the main WWDC keynote length? The main keynote starts at 10AM PT, the State of the Union is 1:30PM PT. The main keynote generally runs around 1 3/4 hours. The max length this WWDC can be is 2 1/2 hours. It might be prerecorded, but the audience still requires a break for food, drink and bathroom. Yeah they can watch it later, but a good deal of people will want to watch it live. Sure you could break the keynote up, but that has never been done. What defines much longer as normal for this keynote anyhow?
