The death of the Mac is greatly exaggerated. But that doesn't mean it's going to live forever.

One of the fun things to do following WWDC is look at what's announced, and then try to figure out how that might affect things in the future. For example, when the Notes app was overhauled and gained the new Sketch tool, it didn't seem to be a particularly interesting feature. When the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil were introduced, though, it became very interesting.

This year, digging into betas, there seems to be hints of a "dark theme" for iOS. That's interesting because my colleague, Rene Ritchie, really wants it. It's even more interesting when you consider how it would be useful for a device with an AMOLED display...
