Looks like the dream of a leak-free keynote eludes Apple once again. Though, as leaks go this one is relatively tame-unless Apple doesn't much else to show off, which is a definite possibility given this past year's developments.

Mark Gurman at Bloomberg also 'leaked' or 'predicted' or 'misspoke' — depending on how deep you are in the Apple blogosphere — that there's ARKit 2.0 (with shared virtual objects between iDevices) and a new Digital Health features (ensconced in the Settings app) similar to the initiative Google announced last month

TBH If they just said "thanks for coming everyone, we haven't got anything new for you this year, we just fixed all of your outstanding radars" I would be ecstatic.

Lots of grey in that dark mode; barely any black. I assume OLED displays aren't coming to the Mac anytime soon?

Personally, I prefer very dark grey, but it would be nice have a 'none more black' option anyway :)

There are 6-core 32gb laptops showing up in geekbench, who knows if they get announced today though. If the move to OLEDs on the MBP it might convince me to upgrade my aging beast though...

Apple is abiding by the Dark Mode Rule:

"Developers who have nothing of value to add to their software shall release a new version with a dark mode."

That's pretty snarky. The natural path is towards dark themes with OLED displays. It wouldn't be exclusive to Apple.

There are so many other problems with Xcode that this dark mode is completely irrelevant to me. AppCode from JetBrains is lightyears ahead and has been for a long time.
