Dispatch, Ep 19: WWDC preview
Update: 2016-06-10
Description
Next week is a big one in the tech world news: WWDC, Apple's developer conference, kicks off in San Francisco on Monday morning with a 10 a.m. (PT) keynote. And it's widely expected to be ... kind of boring?
That's to hear some of the press tell it, anyway, based on rumors that there won't be any hardware announcements and only minor software improvements.
I would argue that while hardware is sexy, there are plenty of ways to make software, apps, artificial intelligence and the like interesting — but you have to have something to say.
And it's true that at WWDC, that's far from certain.
For this week's Dispatch, I took advantage of being in New York to jump in a studio with Ben Johnson, host of Marketplace Tech, so we could engage in the time-honored tradition known as "the WWDC preview."
