iOS first? Not tvOS or watchOS. That's weird. Wonder if the tv service launches or is announced today

Oh, I never knew that. Just assumed they had to put hardware first.

John Carmack's Steve Jobs stories

Steve first talked about application development for iPhone at the same keynote I was demonstrating the new ID Tech 5 rendering engine on Mac, so I was in the front row. When he started going on about "Web Apps", I was (reasonably quietly) going "Booo!!!".

After the public cleared out and the rest of us were gathered in front of the stage, I started urgently going on about how web apps are terrible, and wouldn't show the true potential of the device. We could do so much more with real native access!

Steve responded with a line he had used before: "Bad apps could bring down cell phone towers." I hated that line. He could have just said "We aren't ready", and that would have been fine.

Interesting that iOS is first....maybe we will get a big announcement (TV service?) at the end.

Ugh please don't push AR that hard unless you plan to build into Apple Maps and fix a lot of Apple Maps.
