WWDC is for developers and sometimes end users

Trix may be for kids but WWDC is for developers.

Though WWDC is mainly for developers, there was a lot there for end users as well. Here are my thoughts on what I thought was the news of the day.

HomePod



The biggest news, IMHO, was the speaker long-rumored from Apple called HomePod. Clearly aimed at the likes of Amazon's Echo and Google Home, HomePod takes an entirely different approach: the gateway is music (and, of course, Apple Music for now). Phil Schiller spent a lot of time talking about the new technology that makes HomePod special and stand out from the crowd, not only from Amazon and Google, but from companies like Sonos as well.

Of course, since Siri is onboard, HomePod will answer all the major queries users want, from weather to alarms. It's too early to tell how well this all works. Apple says shipments will start in December, which suggests these things are likely going to be as scarce as hen's teeth or AirPods. From an end user perspective, this was the big news ...
