The big news at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference always revolves around new apps and updated operating systems. Today's event marked a completely different turning point for Apple: Women took the stage during a keynote presentation.
Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay, appeared before the crowd of software developers and journalists on Monday to discuss progress in mobile payments. A second woman, Susan Prescott, gave the pitch for Apple's forthcoming News app. It marks the first time female executives have made an on-stage appearance during an Apple keynote presentation since 2010, when Zynga's Jen Herman gave a demonstration of the game Farmville.
