They did a few years ago when they were trying to get people to generate apps for the Apple TV device. I'm sure there will be a couple of break out sessions on it.
They actually did talk about Apple TV quite a bit, but it was in the context of fitness, home and music. After thinking about it over night, I think that Apple is pushing the interoperability of the Apple ecosystem. You can AirPlay from your iPhone to your homepods, Apple TV or Mac. You can have your Mac, macbook and iPad all open easily moving information from one to the other. That sort of thing. That's what they are showing. Now the developers have to add support for that to their apps.
Once again, after digesting, one of the cooler things that I noticed was the ability to use your AirPods almost as hearing aids, I guess it's like those devices you see advertised on late night TV and obscure cable channels that allow people who are a bit hard of hearing to focus on conversations. It wasn't clear to me if this was just for the next generation AirPods, or it this will be available for all AirPods. I can actually use that. I have trouble following conversations in a noisy environment. It looked like they have similar technology that allows you to block external noises when you are on the phone as well.
