I like the ios7 control center and the new flat design. I am not sure I like the color palette.
Activation lock is a welcome new feature as well.

The new Macbook Airs are quite nice.
I like the new features of iOS 7, I like the Control Center.
I am not sure if I like the new flat design and I am not sure I like the new color palette. And I really don't like those all white icons with lines. That's great for xkcd, but not for my phone.
The new flat and mostly white (blech!) design is too much like looking at IE on Windows 8. I am pretty sure I will not like the flat mostly white look. Sorry I am just not into bright white looking at a phone, or a computer for that matter.
I would like to see a dark theme that softens all that white. I will never buy a white iPhone.
OS X Mavericks sounds great. iBooks and Maps coming to the Mac is awesome.
I love the Mac Pro but gonna be way expensive.
I love the idea of iTunes Music and it's being Pandora'ish, but I will not be able to make use of it on my limited data plan.
Auto updates on Apps needs to have options. I hope they will think of us on limited data plans in all of this. Especially since limited data plans on wireless (which is all we have access to here in the boonies, is by no means cheap!) On our data plan, we need to be able to do stuff like that when we are on unlimited plans elsewhere away from home.

it would be quite like Apple to say 'no update, no work'. They still strike me as 'we know way best' arrogant in what I saw and for the price points i didn't see enough to move me off Windows or Linux for pc's. And they didn't change the iPhone physical form factor.
The new MacPro? reminds me of quite a few Raspberry Pi cases

For what it's worth, if you have an older version of ios (maybe limited by your device) you will see the updates available for the apps even if those updates require a newer version of ios. You can't update to them because it won't let you, but the updates will still show up.
When Apple changed the update process to allow for password-less updates, they did put a switch in the settings to turn that functionality off. In some cases (children) it would be a problem to have it enabled.
I see the updates being more android like and just updating themselves in teh background. I am not sure how excited I am about it yet, because I like to see what new functionality will be added for the updates.

If they want to go that way fine, but make sure there are alternative themes for those that would prefer something with more muted or darker colors for their theme.

Using a different wallpaper may dull the effect....

The main screen showing the BRIGHT RED Music icon really did me in though.
It may be quite nice that way...

Those are some nice connections on the back of the Mac Pro! And that central bottom to top cooling system looks like it will be great.
Think they said 4 USB 3, 4 of the new Thunderbolt 2 ports that can do up to 6 daisy chained devices and of course the standard power, HDMI, speaker/headphones and mic.

This is a professional graphics processing, etc. Desktop for the likes of ILM, Pixar, et al. and for software intensive programs like The Foundary's MARI at $2,000 - just for the software, etc.
MARI has been available for Windows and Linux and now there is a Beta Test for Mac and MARI was tested on the brand spanking new Mac Pro with the screen, keyboard and mouse - did they use a trackpad or pen tablet? - visible to the testers at Apple's Evil Lab:
Quote
"We were essentially doing a blind tasting of the machine," said Jack Greasley, MARI product manager at The Foundry. "All we could see was the monitor, and the Mac Pro was encased in a giant metal filing cabinet on wheels. Experiencing the machine in this way was actually really cool, because I can tell you that the speed and power of this machine really stands up. Mari running on this machine out of the box is the fastest I have ever seen it run."
This is not going to be something the average user will be getting.

And there are a lot of great games on the Mac. Maybe not as many as Windows, but Steam kinda makes up for that.

And that's not really the Mac's fault that some gamers think they don't need to port to other OSes. It's the same with Linux and has been a real problem for both Mac and Linux for years.
But the tide is turning. Finally game companies realize that other OSes are important.
