Apple WWDC 2017 wrap-up
Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote was busier than usual, bringing new hardware alongside the expected software updates. So let's do a re-hash of the keynote and see what the biggest announcements were.
Come September iOS 11 will bring a redesigned and customizable Control Center, an improved Siri that can translate for you, iMessage in the iCloud, improved photo capture - you can use flash and HDR with Portrait mode - and that's just on iPhone. The iPad is much, much better at multitasking now.
Speaking of the iPad, Apple released a completely new 10.5" iPad Pro as well as an improved 12.9" iPad Pro.
Continuing with hardware Apple announced a completely new HomePod smart speaker and a beastly iMac Pro, and brought Intel's Kaby Lake line of chipsets to its Macbook line.
We also saw the future of macOS - High Sierra with a brand new file system. The Apple Watch also saw its new OS - watchOS 4 with new watchfaces and improved workouts.
