Twitter reacts to #WWDC15
Monday finally brought Apple's long awaited Worldwide Developers Conference, its annual gathering where the tech giant unveils detailed looks at new software, products, services and features. The event opened with endless rumors—most notably surrounding a new music streaming service and Apple TV updates.
Thanks to the company's notorious secrecy surrounding new products, WWDC is always one of the year's hugest tech events. As such, the Internet never fails to provide chatter and reaction. Here's how the event played out, through tweets.
Before the event even began, predictions and speculation ran rampant.
Press members set the scene with photos, including ones of their super-Appley credentials.

You can now consume news on News! It's a little bit of a rip-off of Flipboard.
News wants to know what you like. Pick some sources, tap Done, you get a feed of those sources. Looks Flipboardish.
