I've been waiting a long time to upgrade my iMac (I've been craving that retina for quite some time now), so I'm stoked beyond belief that they released new ones. The 8GB VRAM baseline made me super happy. The previous generation iMac capped at 4GB VRAM and you had to pay $300 extra for that.
I kinda want an iPad Pro, but my current iPad (non-Pro) is fine. I really only use it for streaming video and reading articles. I think my wife could do amazing things with it as a designer, though.
A bunch of the other new stuff I could take or leave, but it did seem like they've been listening to developers by releasing a bunch of stuff to make VR/AR more accessible to developers. Huge performance improvements for Metal, too.
The music stuff and the speaker were definitely more of a consumer-level thing, which feels out of place at a developer conference. They've been known to talk about new products at WWDC, they're usually a bit more developer-focused than this.
Does no one care that its still running DDR3 and maxed out at 16 gigs of RAM? Like I know its not like DDR4 is gonna make a huge difference, but if I'm paying that much, I should get the latest.
From what I can tell, it looks like that's just a spec upgrade across the board. It's pretty decent over last year's (faster CPU and RAM clock speeds), at least, but nothing new. I just got last year's model for work and I think it's pretty zippy, so this one'll at least be even better. Just make sure you carry at least one USB-C<->USB-A and probably a USB-C<->HDMI dongle with you everywhere. :-)

All in all, it seems like a huge win.
Any thoughts on the MacBook Pro upgrades?
