    WWDC vs. September event

    Thought I’d ask this question that I’ve been thinking about for a while. Which is your favorite Apple event each year? The September iPhone event or WWDC keynote? I personally enjoy WWDC more because it brings new features for all product lines, and it’s always exciting to see new things at...
