WWDC 2014 is behind us. Apple unveiled new versions of operating systems on Computers Mac and iOS devices. New products are pretty interesting, but the expectations before the conference were very high. Does Apple live up to them? I have mixed feelings.
1 iOS is more like Android

Remember the days when the mobile operating system, Apple inspired by others? Well, those days are long gone. Now that iOS duplicate solutions with other systems – mainly from Android.
– In iOS 8, you will be responsible for notifications (messaging, e-mails, calendar, etc) already from the notification center. The Android has long been possible in this way to answer your emails– Quick Type, or writing on a drag your finger across the keyboard without removing it. This solution is known to users of Android, and recently also windows Phone 8.1.
– in the center of the notification widgets appear different applications. You do not need to remind anyone that Android users use them for a long time
All news about iOS 8 can be found here . Copy function from the best and customize them to your needs is a known and proven market practice. But I miss some of Apple, from which others copied the best solution.
2 iPhone and Mac finally be together freely “talk”

In the ecosystem of Apple devices there is a new function – Continuity. Whenever a Mac dock icon will appear on the iPhone, it will mean that the work begun on the computer you will be able to finish on a mobile device. It also means that now from your Mac can be replying to text messages (so far could be replying to iMessages) and even receive incoming calls on your iPhone.
3 With two evils Apple will Microsoft than Google

New Mobile Safari will be equipped with the function of translating pages in languages we do not understand. This feature is familiar to users of the browser Chrome (desktop and mobile) for a long time. Google Translate is getting better and better, and in most cases you can rely on him.
But the mobile Safari will be based on Microsoft’s solution. Yes, the translation pages in Apple devices will deal with Bing translator. Oh, we live in interesting times.4 There is a third bad, which is challenging Apple
Facebook. It is known, every large company wants to tie together the most talented programmers. It is important at this time when the sense of losing a hardware software gains. Therefore Facebook F8 conference which took place a month ago announced its own programming language, and numerous improvements for developers. Now very similar moves Apple has made. Also announced a new programming language and also promises apps for iOS 8 will be able to communicate with each other.
5 Great absent WWDC 2014

Expectations before this year’s WWDC conference were raised high. Really high. Number of rumors circulating about what will be presented by Apple moving imagination. And Apple did not meet those expectations. Summarize. The public expected to :
– smart home. You know, the internet of things is one of the most important trends of the current world. Apple seems to be the trend to ignore
– MacBook Air with Retina
– the smart watch. And if not the finished product, although his announcement
– television by Apple
– information about the Beats. Apple took over the company’s $ 3 billion . He had a great opportunity to explain what you intend to do with it.
We have not heard a word about it. In return, we got 8 iOS and Mac OS X 10.10. Yes, WWDC is a conference for developers. And perhaps we ourselves are guilty of this, that we Apple’owi high expectations, and the company then – so to speak – “not hand over”. News in both operating systems probably will please users of Apple equipment. Before the start of the conference reported that in the corridors of the Moscone Center hangs a banner with the inscription “Seoul – you can begin copying.” As reported by MacDailyNews, a banner is fake , which took up many a person. Perhaps because in 2004 a similar proclamation Apple sent a letter to Microsoft:

Well – now, after WWDC 2014, I see no special function was presented by Apple, that competition could copy.
