Apple WWDC as it happened: Tech giant updates every product it makes and releases new HomePod Siri speaker
Apple just updated every single one of its products. And released some new ones as well.
The company is holding its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, and kicked it off with its most wide-ranging event of the year.
As well as updating the software for all of its products, as it always does, the company showed off. That included updates to the iPad and Mac line – but most of all was the Siri speaker, a talking music system for the home.
Find full coverage on each of those releases – iOS 11, the new macOS, a new Siri and the HomePod speaker – below.

There's going to be special "up next" cards, which are very similar to those used by Google Now. It's part of the "Siri face" on Apple Watch. Sounds like those cards would be very useful in a Siri speaker, too...
There'll be more personal reminders from your watch, which are intended to challenge you.
New swimming tools. (That's very exciting to me, but not sure to how many other people.) New HIIT workouts. And new ways of triggering new workouts.
This is very clever: Watches will now be able to talk to gym machines, just by being tapped on them. That will mean that they can share data – so the Watch will send info about your heart rate to the gym machine, and the gym machine will send data on what you're doing to the Watch.
