Overall Keynote Impressions

- It’s incredible the quality of accessibility features that continue to thrive across all of Apple’s devices and platforms. twitter.com/reneritch…
- This keynote is super exciting. twitter.com/tvaziri/s…
- A little unnerving to hear the CEO of the most profitable company on the planet admit his employees have spent long hours at night and on weekends working on all these updates. That doesn’t seem like a healthy work-life balance 👎 twitter.com/kellabyte…
