WWDC 2018 Comment Day 1- June 4
This will be my comment thread on WWDC 2018 Day 1. I'll be doing this every day if I have time. Watch the live stream her: https://www.apple.com/apple-events/june-2018/. I'm not a professional commentator, so please excuse my mistakes. Feel free to help if you want to. I can't do timestamps cuz my computer is messed up and won't show me time for some reason. If I do times, its central time. Show up for @foxon though.
To read this properly, set it by age and then go to the bottom and start reading from there.

53:20 - group facetime..... well, I'm glad they finally got it? Can I install it on android, or should we all install hangouts still?
1 ) Apple started with a great intro. Funny too. Talking about developers as a wild breed of animals and talking about the evolution of them. I like it.
2 ) Developers have made over $100 Billion from the App Store.
3 ) Apple took a jab at android. Pointing out that only 6% of android users are at the latest android version.
4 ) iOS 12 will be focused on performance and will be abvabile on all device that iOS 11 was supported on.
6:35 - they love to site OS stats to make fun of android, but then move to customer satisfactions as their goal.... which one are customer's buying? It's hard to compare two operating systems when one is locked to certain hardware and one is open
5 ) iOS 12 will increase CPU usage to max when its needed as quickly as its needed.
11:00 - I notice all the demo vids of apps have the notch. There've been rumors of more notch devices coming
6 ) Apple is focusing on AR.
7 ) New app, measure. Lets you measure the size of stuff (shown off with a suitcase). Seems pretty nifty, but how accurate is it?
