WWDC 2012 keynote video now available to stream from Apple

Last updated

Quickly after the keynote presentation at this week's Worldwide Developers Conference concluded, Apple has made a video of the event available to stream.

The video can now be viewed at Apple's website in the company's Safari Web browser. Currently, it cannot be viewed in third-party browsers like Firefox, as users are told to "check back soon" and that the keynote will be "available shortly."

The main focus of Apple's presentation was iOS 6, the company's next-generation mobile operating system. It will offer enhancements to Siri, system-wide Facebook integration, and more than 200 other new features when it launches this fall.

One of the biggest additions to iOS 6 is a completely revamped Maps application that ditches Google Maps for Apple's own in-house solution. It will rely on anonymous crowd-sourced data for traffic, and will also offer turn-by-turn navigation.

Another new application announced for iOS 6 is Passbook, a sort of virtual wallet and organizer for iPhone users. With Passbook, users will have quick access to store cards, tickets to movies and sporting events, and boarding passes for airplane flights.

The big hardware announcement on Monday was the next-generation MacBook Pro, an entirely new 15-inch notebook unveiled by Apple. It features a thinner design and high-resolution Retina display.

The company also issued updates for its legacy MacBook Pros, adding Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors to the 13- and 15-inch notebooks, and also upgraded the MacBook Air with up to 2.0 gigahertz processors and 512 gigabytes of flash storage.

Looks like Scott inadvertently showed off the new iPhone 5...

I was really looking forward to a new desktop that unfortunately, there is nothing new with.

 

As a video editor and digital media associate, the lack of a new iMac is pushing me strongly towards an HP Z1. Yes, I said it....screw Apple.

 

Since I am working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 exclusively, one of the huge advantages is that it works equally well with Mac and PC and after talking to several of my friends up in high places, I am considering HP option as numero uno.

 

Also, not to mention that after two years of waiting the MacBook got a very minor update; a speed bump and increases in RAM. Woopty Freagin' Doo!

 

The storage and video specs as well are nicer, but still the new Macbook "Pro" still will use USB 2.0 ports instead of USB 3.0, or Thunderbolt. Lame.

 

OOOooooh and a new Safari that syncs all your Apple devices. Oh yea, I get that with Google Chrome and/or Firefox, thank you very much.

 

Any thoughts on this, or am I the only one who finds the newest Apple updates boring!?

Eh… not quite. Either that or the parts we've seen had their design changed. Looks like the image might just be stretched, too.

Are you trying to be a troll here? The new MacBook Pro most certainly do have USB 3.0 and not just one but TWO Thunderbolt ports.
