    I found that keynote terribly disappointing and uninspired. I had really hoped for Apple that they show something new and innovative - instead of two smaller versions of existing products.

    EDIT: I did not mean that in an Apple-bashing way. But I wonder what Elon Musk would come up with if he had time and - let's say - 100 billion USD at his disposal.

    No updated MacBook Pro? That's annoying.

    I was rather hoping for a small refresh to include the new Skylake processors, it's certainly due one: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac

    I'm curious why my modern browser "doesn’t support live streaming of the event" according to Apple.

    It was the same issue last year. I need an Apple product (or a Windows 10 PC with Microsoft Edge) to watch a livestream on the internet. Odd for 2016.

    Is this really a technical barrier or a marketing/strategic barrier?

    Your browser doesn’t support live streaming of the event.

    Seriously Apple ...

    'Apple refuses to stream on your browser' would be a better message

    I cringed every time they kept trying to emphasize the night hue mode as if it is innovative... they explicitly removed two apps from the store that added the feature in the past just to try and profit from an old idea.

    Big reveal: robots will now do the dirty work of recycling iPhones, instead of Bangladeshi children.

    Anybody have a tip on how to watch on Windows 7?

    Most boring apple keynote ever. Seriously.

    What a horrible keynote. There was literally nothing new, just the same products, only smaller.

    On Safari on OSX and I'm just getting the "starting at 10am PDT" message, anybody else?
