That is 19:00 Central European Time :slight_smile:

#2

I’ve cleared my calendar :wink:

#3

6pm in the UK. The Apple Events channel is back on my Apple TVs. Looking forward to this one!

#4

You guys get it in primetime. Meanwhile it will be 3am here so I have to watch it on replay over breakfast…

#5

Not that exited this time. Besides a new iPhone6… and possible new iPad, nothing else new is expected.
But of course will take a peek :slight_smile:

Apple TV total revamp is expected too. Apart from all the new stuff, there’s nothing else new expected!

Hope they do something with the ?TV.
My Boxee Box is really tired now :stuck_out_tongue:

#9

i want one too… 12 inches iPad that can do MacOSX too

#10

I want a letter size tablet that can support the Xojo IDE.

I find the iOS world scary. No more programming. Just consumption of apps. Removal of the left side brain :confused:

#11

Now, when will Xojo tvOS arrive? :smiley:
Maybe its time to try an learn that Swift thing…(only 50% serious)

Yeah, those were the times when you had to write your own newspaper. None of that silly typesetting stuff that atrophies your brain Â… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#13

@Michel: want that, too. Then I think about how the iPad forces me to organize my files. And the laptop always wins. The stylus looks great, though.

tvOS starts putting the final nails into Objective-C’s coffin as the SDK is pretty much Swift only. Anyone who had any doubts about how serious Apple were about the transition from Obj-C to Swift can finally let them go.

#15

Precisely. iOS is just like books only. You have no possibility to write your own stuff. The user is just like a stuffed goose : open your mouth and your wallet, be nice, be stupid…

Sorry for having been grown on the philosophy of the Enlightenment. Of course, that was before the Twitter thinking…

#16

That also marks a definite fragmentation in OSes. For a while, one could get the illusion that everything “end user” would be powered by iOS, but no. Phones and tablets on one side, Watch in its corner and Apple TV in another. … Sweet :s

Saw the event video today and found another interesting side-note : Seems El Capitan Release is set to 30.09.15

Talking about tvOS and iOS: I think its more than philosophical to discuss if tvOS is an own OS or not. Basically it’s an iOS App. It’s a far better approach for specialized devices (TV, Watch, Phone, Car? ) than to bake one software for all… one ring to rule them all… doesn’t work well a fragmented world…

EDIT: Just checked AAPL website, Yes it is set to 30.09. - I missed it somehow in the presentation…

I just got today a mail for developers that says to download El Capitan GM Candidate. Looks very much like that date is right.

#19

It’s not really a fragmentation of OSs. They share the exact same frameworks where they can, such as AVFoundation, CloudKit and lots more. They do not share frameworks that are unique to the hardware, why would they?

If you want to discuss actual facts instead of sarcastic opinion, you could easily have read the developer notes. Apple have even put up a diff page to show you the difference between tvOS and iOS frameworks.

#20

I forgot : Apple is so perfect, any criticism is a sin :stuck_out_tongue:

#21

tvOS and Siri integration is really interesting. Sadly I’ll to wait next year to use Siri.
