I wonder how many people/developers actually “win” the lottery? It wouldn’t surprise me if they just hand select all the people they want to be there. I mean how does Jon Gruber always get to go? I get it, blogger. What does Apple care about? MONEY. I would say the developers that are making AAPL the most money are the “winners” of the lottery. In whatever case it is, just state 100 lucky winners the remainder will all be our top producing developers.
Media is a separate system.

But I got an invite as a developer and by no means do I bring Apple money. I think the last app I actually submitted to the App Store personally was years ago and they were all free. Outside the $99 membership they don't make anything off of me.

Not quite the same since they switched to a keynote video but still a must watch for me. We should have a sweepstake for how many times Tim Cook will say the words amazing and magical.

I wonder if they’re gonna have the guts to bring up Siri during this keynote
CUPERTINO, California—[S]October 4[/S]June 9, 20[S]11[/S]25 iOS 18 also introduces Siri™Pro™, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. Siri understands context allowing you to speak naturally when you ask it questions, for example, if you ask “Will I need an umbrella this weekend?” it understands you are looking for a weather forecast. Siri is also smart about using the personal information you allow it to access, for example, if you tell Siri “Remind me to call Mom when I get home” it can find “Mom” in your address book, or ask Siri “What’s the traffic like around here?” and it can figure out where “here” is based on your current location. Siri helps you make calls, send text messages or email, schedule meetings and reminders, make notes, search the Internet, find local businesses, get directions and more. You can also get answers, find facts and even perform complex calculations just by asking.

Still didn't get an invitation or a denial email yet.
Does this mean I am denied or not necessarily?
