At the global developer conference, Apple has shifted its focus to software for a long time. Until now, on WWDC17, Apple has brought us a lot of new hardware at one go. Of course, there are still regular iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, etc. Now, let's review this two-and-a-half hour feast.

iMac： First, let's take a look at the keywords of this upgrade: "Kaby Lake, Fusion Drive, two lightning 3"（ USB-C ）", no change has taken place in the appearance design. It is still the 4K and 5K screens with thick but amazing borders.
Beggar version The iMac is equipped with 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 dual core processor, 8GB memory, 1TB HDD hard disk and Iris Plus Graphics 640 GPU, which is 1080p resolution display. The 4K screen Radeon Pro 555（ 2GB video memory ）And Radeon Pro 560（ 4GB video memory ）Wait, of course, this is also Has.
Radeon Pro 570/575（ 4GB video memory ）And 580（ 8GB video memory ）And other configurations. and and The upgrade of is very simple. Like the iMac, the processor has become the seventh generation Kaby Lake.
All of the above are relatively ordinary upgrades, and can be purchased and delivered immediately in Hong Kong, while in China, it needs to wait for approval. But the blockbuster product is actually iMac Pro.
IMac Pro is enough to replace Mac Pro: still amazing 27 inch 5K display, 8 core/10 core/18 core Xeon processor（ Up to 42MB cache ）Up to 128GB 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory, up to 4TB SSD AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 GPU（ 8GB HBM2 video memory ）, and optionally Vega 64（ 16GB HBM2 video memory ）, which is simply a cracked configuration!

in addition There are also 10Gb Ethernet interfaces, four lightning 3（ USB-C ）Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, and the body is still very cool black, the price, I guess you can imagine, the starting price of $4999, just choose a match, basically enough to buy a Dongfeng Xiaokang.
There is also the high-profile brand new Has. A10X six core processor, twelve core GPU, the most powerful iOS device, 2224 x 1668 resolution（ I believe that the app adaptation will be painful again ）, 120Hz refresh rate, support adaptive dynamic adjustment. The 12.9-inch version is also upgraded to the A10X processor, but because of the screen resolution, the 10.5-inch performance should be stronger.
The camera is also a highlight. It is 12 million pixels, f/1.8 aperture, equipped with optical anti shake, 4-LED dual color temperature flash, and 7 million pixel front camera. It seems that this is in line with the iPhone 7. And now, this 10.5 inch iPad Pro has reached 64GB（ Starting from RMB 5188 ）, up to 512GB（ RMB 7588 ）, which is a bit crazy.
Finally, the long rumored Siri speaker is called HomePod, which is equipped with the A8 processor on iPhone 6, seven tweeter arrays, and one subwoofer. In addition, it is equipped with six microphone arrays to capture sound for Siri commands. HomePod is combined with Apple Music to provide users with massive music. The release of this product is intended to compete with Amazon Echo and Google Home. It will be launched in the United States, Britain and Australia in December, and will further expand the sales market next year. It is $349, not expensive but not cheap.

The upgrade of watchOS 4 is relatively small, mainly focusing on the functional improvement and more intuitive display interface. Now it has a more exquisite design of the dial style, and combined with artificial intelligence, the Siri dial can display the required information on the interface according to your needs. As usual, it was officially promoted to everyone this autumn.
（ New dial ）
macOS High Sierra， Similar to iOS, this time the MacOS also uses a new APFS file system to improve efficiency, and all kinds of built-in apps have been improved. At the same time, it supports new video encoding HEVC, and even starts to support the popular VR. In cooperation with VR for Mac, machine learning, game development, etc., Apple also released Metal 2 to improve the performance of GPU, so that we can play games on Mac in the future.
There are also some good details. For example, when using Safari to browse the web page, when it detects that a video will play automatically on the page, the system will block the play of the video, and add a play button to the video, leaving the dominant power to the user himself. This is very good.
In addition, there is a new photo app, which has more functions and can edit pictures with many complex operations.
The highlight of the system is naturally iOS 11. A lot of changes have been made in the UI, such as returning to the bar shaped signal bar, the new control center, keyboard UI, etc.
Today, Siri has a lot of functions. It supports more personalized operations such as language translation and music recommendation. It knows how to push interesting news for users, intelligent recommendation when typing, suggestions based on browsing records, etc Apple Pay、 The camera has been upgraded to different degrees, and there is a newly designed App Store. The SDK has built-in ARKit and Core ML, making it easy for developers to develop AR or intelligent applications for iOS 11. From the live demonstration of the conference, AR games are likely to become the wind vane of the future.
IOS 11 has adapted more new features for iPad, such as richer Dock bar, better multi task management, more beautiful split screen, and optimization for Apple Pencil. What's more, iOS finally joined the file manager on the 10th anniversary of its birth. What does Mr. Qiao think about this?
