Really hoping for an ARM macbook today
Just make sure you don't purchase a first gen unless you are a masochist.

#52Intercom made me wish I had a family to use it with. Apple does a great job of developing solutions, not just features.
Alexa devices also has had this feature for a while now. It is nice how the homepod adds the integration with other devices though

#53These transitions are insane. The production quality is honestly fantastic. Apple has perfected the art of virtual keynotes.
They actually wrote Keynote so Steve could give high-quality animated, uh, keynotes.

Agreed. I only wish they streamed in a higher quality. 1080p looks pretty bad on a 27" 4K monitor.

#55Watching this right now (10:33 PDT)... What impresses me most is Akamai's capability to deliver this HQ stream seamlessly.

When your business model revolves around marketing and aesthetics, you need to put the extra effort. You can tell Apple's target demographic isn't enterprise markets at every turn.
One could argue that a company like Stripe's target demographic is _precisely_ the enterprise markets; yet, their product pages are slick af! Smooth scrolling, animations and all that jazz.
Because they're made up of folks who love JavaScript (and animations, of course)
Apple's marketing team is similar. They're probably a bunch of people who _love_ making videos; probably studied film or art or spent a ton of time on Final Cut Pro etc etc.

#57Very impressive technology: With those 4GB per second download speeds I can use up my entire month of data in 250 milliseconds. On a more serious note: what technology advancements will there be in the next 10-20 years that actually make 5G technology useful?
Arguments like these have been argued since dial up :) Probably longer. Don't worry, it won't be a problem for consumers

#58Earlier quoted context omitted.
I disagree, at this point, showing that you respect social distancing and do things in a responsible way is actually something people look for.
Yeah, I am surprised they don’t wear masks to signal their responsibility.
If you notice, they're either alone, or never get close to each other when there's two people on screen.

>Apple does a great job of developing solutions
Intercom is not a solution. Our house growing up had an intercom in every room. We used it for all of 2 days before we figured out that simply calling someone loudly was simpler.
Apple is great at providing solutions to problems that they tell you that you have.
Not to mention that other device like Alexa already have this.
