Even though I am an unapologetic fanboy, Apple's WWDC keynote today—unlike in years past—left me unenthused. I saw nothing that had me screaming, "I need this now."
I'm glad, however, that this year they aren't adding another 200 features to OS X. I'm relieved to see them finally focusing on under the hood fixes and improvements. But El Capitan? Really? With the entire state of California to choose from, this is the best name they could come up with?
Whatever. After being plagued with problems big and small in OS X for the last several years, Apple could really use some Snow Leopard stability at this point, and I hope this release finally addresses that. I want to be able to tell people again, "it just works" and actually mean it.
As for iOS, I'm pretty nonchalant. Unlike OS X, there isn't really a whole lot I've found myself getting excited about during its the various iterations. It runs my phone. As long as it works, that's good enough for me. Unlike some people who are absolutely dependent upon their phones for their entire online existence, I'm still very old school, preferring to do all my serious work on my laptop. Maybe that explains it.
As for the Apple Watch and it's upcoming OS upgrade, all I can say is I've yet to find a single compelling reason to buy one. Perhaps a few years down the road I'll get one and find myself saying (like I have with other tech) "OH MY GOD, WHY DIDN'T I GET THIS YEARS AGO?!?"
We'll see.
