Women top the bill at Apple's developer conference in first for company

Under Tim Cook's diversity campaign, Apple pushed its female executives into the limelight at WWDC, with Pay vice-president Jennifer Bailey first on stage

Forget the streaming music service and the software update. Forget Drake's walk-on appearance and The Weeknd's closing performance. Apple has women! Jennifer Bailey and Susan Prescott presented on stage at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference conference on Monday - the first time Apple's own female executives have presented publicly since the event was first held 1976.

It was a major first for a company that has struggled, along with the rest of Silicon Valley, with a lack of diversity among its ranks, especially at the top.
