Yes, WWDC is now primarily an iOS/iPad focused event for developers, taking the place of macOS as it was in years past. iOS for iPad should see a lot more focus over the next few years.

It’s a showcase of all the OS updates. MacOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. But it does seem like the iPad iOS is starting to get interesting, judging by all the focus during the education Keynote.
Why is it disappointing? Apple themselves said that it was going to be an education event. IPads are going to be announced at WWDC like everyone said. If you want an iPad Mini, better grab a 4 now because I can almost guarantee the mini will be discontinued.
Sure, but WWDC always had a major macOS focus. macOS hasn't had any meaningful attention in years.
Because I want an updated mini iPad and not a giant iPad. Now that the mini will be discontinued, I have no reason to buy an iPad again. So yes it's very disappointing.
You sound heartbroken as if a woman ditched you ! lol ! on a serious note Sure agree ! You may need a mini only. But who can tie the bell in the cat's neck ?
I was in the Warby Parker store today getting my glasses adjusted, and I noticed all the employees were carrying minis. I wonder if retail is a big market for that size.
That gives me some hope for it’s future, but it makes me wonder if it’s so popular in certain circles, why would they wait so long to refresh it? It’s nice to know it’s being used in professional settings, and not just for casual users. Wonder what it’ll take for Apple to realize it deserves to continue beyond the Mini 4.
