The headline news from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday was Apple Music, a new music-streaming service. But it wasn't the only thing Apple talked about at its big event. From a new iOS news reader to multitasking on iPads and the new version OS X, El Capitan, CEO Tim Cook and other Apple executives (and guests) unveiled a healthy dose of upcoming upgrades and iterative improvements to Mac desktops and iOS mobile devices.
Assuming you don't want to watch the entire two-and-a-half-hour event, Mashable put all the highlights into a 2-minute video. If you're curious about any of the teasers in the video, Lifehacker and Gizmodo have more in-depth looks at what Apple promised and delivered on Monday. Peter Weber
