Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the words “Bitcoin” or “cryptocurrency” being thrown around a lot these days. Bitcoin was in the news just last week as it crossed the $3000 figure for the first time. I’ll admit, though, I don’t really understand cryptocurrencies at all.

In a surprising change of tradition, this year for WWDC 2017, Apple chose not to host a public ceremony for their annual Apple Design Awards. Instead, according to Rene Ritchie at iMore, Apple held a private event this year with sort of a meet-and-greet with Craig Federighi and other Apple executives.
