Apple WWDC 2017 keynote: HomePod speaker and iMac Pro announced – as it happened

05/06/2017

Four major announcements from Apple today:

  • iOS 11, watchOS 4, a new version of tvOS and macOS High Sierra coming in autumn, with a raft of smaller updates including person-to-person Apple Pay transfers, drag-and-drop multitasking on iPad, a do not disturb while driving mode, and Amazon Video on the AppleTV.
  • Speed bumps to the iMacs and laptops today, as well as a announcement of the new, $4,999 iMac Pro coming in December.
  • A new pair of iPad Pros, including a 10.5in model to replace the 9.7in model, and a host of productivity enhancements to iOS 11 for the devices.
  • And the HomePod, Apple’s attempt to take on both the Amazon Echo and Sonos at the same time: a music-focused smart speaker, shipping for $349 in December.
