If you happen to be like me and didn’t manage to get to San Fran in person for 2012 WWDC that’s ok as the Monday keynote presentation along with all the iOS 6 announcements are now online for your viewing – about 2hrs in length. The following are some of the key numbers I picked up on, a few items that I thought were way cool and/or interesting, and some details about the new Apple Maps (perhaps the biggest news) coming with iOS 6
WWDC Numbers:
- 23 – This was the 23rd WWDC
- 1 hour 43 minutes – time to sell out WWDC 2012 (it took 8 days 2 yrs ago)
- 60 – countries represented at the event
- 112 – sessions at WWDC
- 125 – lab sessions at WWDC
- 1000 – Apple Engineers on site
New In iOS 6 – Maps – built from the ground up
- “Doing all the cartography ourselves”
- Local Search – 100 million business listings included in the DB integrated with Yelp
