Apple's developer conference is held annually, and according to the original plan for this year, this year should be in January.

But because of the impact of Matrix's acquisition of Apple, this most important meeting for Apple had to be pushed back by a month.

Because Apple has been in the doldrums for many years, the previous developer conferences have not been as grand as when Jobs was in office, and the enthusiasm is not as good as once, which basically does not leave any impression. Over time, the media and developers who are working on Apple's software have become less and less enthusiastic about developer conferences.

But this time, it's not the same as the previous ones.

This is the first time that Apple has held a Worldwide Developers Conference since Matrix acquired Apple.

Whether it is a supporter of Apple, a supporter of Matrix, or a supporter of eating melons, they all want to see where Apple will go after Matrix takes control of Apple.

The national and even global media and developers have just entered Northern California and have felt the "enthusiasm" of the supporters of both sides.

Whether it's downtown San Francisco or Silicon Valley's San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, or Palo Alto, there's a battleground for both Apple and Matrix supporters.

Not to mention Apple's home base and meeting place for this conference, Deanza Community College in Cupertino.

Dianza Community College is just one of many community colleges in the United States, with poor teaching quality and little reputation in California.

But now, at least more than half of the nation's tech enthusiasts are aware of the university and its nearly 3,000-seat auditorium, the Flint Auditorium.

"! This is Apple's developer conference! You Matrix dogs are not welcome!"

"Haha, Apple has been acquired by Matrix!"

"Fxck! When Apple launched the PC, you Huaxia kid was still a jingzi! His dad should have shot him against the wall!"

"Haha, Apple has been acquired by Matrix!"

"Jonathan Ivey who designed iCom is a traitor to Apple! Andy Rubin, who designed your shit Linux, is also a traitor to Apple!"

"Haha, Apple has been acquired by Matrix!"

“。。。 You're not going to say anything else?"

"You've chosen a sugar sought-selling guy to be the CEO! This CEO has licensed the graphical interface to Microsoft! Your OS hasn't been updated for eight years! There's never been a new model since Macintosh! You're still using Motorola's CPU! Your memory is still 4M!"

“。。。 Nyima... ”

Similar quarrels can be heard everywhere in Silicon Valley, and the Flint Auditorium, which can only accommodate less than 3,000 people, is naturally even more crowded, if it weren't for Apple hiring a large number of security guards, plus Santa Clara County has also sent a large number of police to maintain law and order, I am afraid that now the county jail will have to ask for help from other county jails.

But no matter how the supporters of the two sides argued, when the lights in the auditorium dimmed all of a sudden, the audience fell silent for a moment.

Many media in the front row also pointed their cameras on the stage, holding their breath, everyone knows that the most high-profile Apple developer conference in several years is about to begin.

With a bang, the lights flashed on the stage, and Rubinstein, Apple's vice president of hardware business, slowly walked onto the stage.

Supporters on either side can't help but sigh in disappointment.

No matter how talented Rubinstein is at Apple, how much he has contributed to Apple, and how strong he is, he will not be as popular as Steve Jobs or Zhang Chen.

In addition to the achievement factor, the more lethal factor is that he is too old and ugly。。。。。。

It's okay, brother doesn't care. Rubinstein silently comforted himself in his heart.

"Ahem. Rubinstein coughed, as this was his second time at a developer conference since he returned to Apple with Steve Jobs last year, and the first time he had taken the stage in front of such an audience.

Although he had been rehearsed beforehand, the spotlight above his head still made him dizzy for a while, and his legs and stomach were spinning.

“So、Sorry。 As soon as he came on stage, Rubinstein accidentally swept the microphone on the stage to the ground, and when he saw Rubinstein's scrambled appearance, the audience burst into laughter.

"You sold your ass to Zack to get on stage, didn't you?" shouted an Apple fanatical supporter from the audience, causing another round of laughter.

In the eyes of these Apple supporters, Rubinstein was the first to come to power after Apple was acquired by Matrix, apparently as a result of defecting to Matrix, and for these supporters, this is simply a naked betrayal of Apple.

Rubinstein's face was red and white for a while, and he secretly complained in his heart that Zhang Chen and Jobs had to let him fight this first shot.

"Welcome to Apple's 1998 Worldwide Developers Conference, in the past year, Apple has reached a new cooperation with xxx companies, adding software developers xxxx people... ”

Rubinstein walked into the slide and gave a dry overview of Apple's achievements in software and hardware engineering over the last year.

In the past year, Apple has indeed made some achievements. After Steve Jobs took office, he cut 80 percent of the product line, laid off more than 3,000 employees, and piled up all his limited financial resources into the two major business priorities of OS and Mac.

At the same time, Apple has also obtained the support of Microsoft, and the office software has reappeared on Apple computers, Apple's video editing and image processing advantages have been further strengthened with the update of the software, and the update of OS8 has also allowed Apple to obtain more revenue.

But it's not enough, it's not enough.

Supporters were clearly expecting more from Apple, and within five minutes, the audience was already booing.

Finally finished talking about this part of himself, Rubinstein wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and peeked to see that Zhang Chen was already standing behind the curtain and waiting.

Rubinstein breathed a sigh of relief, packed up his things and ran back to the audience.

Zhang Chen's appearance didn't have any gimmicks, he was still dressed casually, Shi Shiran walked to the microphone, nodded to Rubinstein in the audience, and said with a smile: "Jonathan, thank you very much." Now, I can proudly say that I own two Jonathans. And these two Jonathans, both of whom are the best talents in the world, Jonathan Ivey has provided Matrix with the best industrial design in the world, and Jonathan Rubinstein, Jon, you're the best architect in the world, and being able to work with you has been the best experience I've had these days. ”

After Zhang Chen appeared, the supporters of Matrix in the audience cheered violently, every time Zhang Chen appeared, he could bring everyone a shocking product, and today, what will he bring?

Some of Apple's supporters fell silent, while others cursed in whispers with mixed expressions.

Rubinstein's face was a little lighter, Zhang Chen picked up the microphone and walked to the center of the stage: "Before starting my part, I will take this opportunity to clarify the recent rumors. ”

"Matrix and Apple have completed the merger in terms of finance, personnel, channels, and R&D, and in the next three months, x will not withdraw from this merger, and has the unanimous support of the Apple team. ”

You should see it.,I'm speeding up the pace of the plot.,Two days ago, I read the book review.,A lot of people said that the timeline is too slow.,I just want to consult everyone.,Do you like to watch the timeline a little faster.,Or write a little more carefully.。
