I'm about to live tweet #WWDC19 so either enjoy or be annoyed ✌🏼
Black and white, v edgy
Cute intro vid, definitely feel those feels #WWDC19
News+ and Arcade.. I haven't looked into either but may be worth it. Apple Card... ooo boy. Apple Card is dangerous for someone like me

#WWDC19
Preview of For All Mankind - super interesting take on the Space Race. I'm hella interested. ESPECIALLY with the female astronauts!

#WWDC19
Starting with tvOS. I don't have an AppleTV, but with these advancements I'm intrigued. Especially with the new series coming

#WWDC19
Multiuser support for tvOS - so where Netflix was years ago with multiple profiles. And Apple Music included, lyrics on screen. KARAOKE in your living room

#WWDC19
Xbox & PS controller support for Apple Arcade. HOLY SHIT. That's incredible.

#WWDC19
Onto Apple Watch now - I haven't used mine in 9+ months, but I'm still curious what's coming for it.

#WWDC19
Watch faces are getting expanded, the gradient is pretty sharp.

#WWDC19
Taptic chimes, oh god if you have audio on that's going to get so annoying

#WWDC19
Voice Memos and calculator coming... Tip calculations and bill split. That's super helpful

#WWDC19
Independent apps coming, which means no companion iOS app. That's super helpful. Streaming audio API will be awesome for podcast listening

#WWDC19
Health and Fitness now - Activity Trends. 9 metrics tracked over 90 days vs 365 days. Data is great unless you can mobilize it like this, so trends are really important in the wearable fitness industry.

#WWDC19
Hm, noise app. Tells you when things are loud. I don't know who asked for this or what you're suppose to do about that....

Doesn't save audio so that's a big privacy win

#WWDC19
Cycle tracking FINALLY! This is huge for women's health and reproductive health! AND it's on watchOS and Health app on iOS!

#WWDC19
Demo of watch faces right now, these complications have definitely gotten extremely expanded since Apple Watch came out.

#WWDC19
New summer colors and a Pride watch band! I love Apple accessories so much

#WWDC19
iOS updates coming now. YES

#WWDC19
Some shade being thrown at Android. Android 9 10% adoption, iOS 12 is 85% adoption rate. In AppDev, I can tell you iOS version management is way easier because of this.

#WWDC19
iOS 13 performance improvement, 30% faster FaceID unlock. App Updates are 60% smaller.

#WWDC19
Apps launch twice as fast in iOS 13

#WWDC19
IS THIS DARK MODE

#WWDC19
YES YES YES YES YES DARK MODE ON IOS 13

#WWDC19
If I could make everything dark mode, I would. This is so amazing. GIVE ME NOW

#WWDC19
Swiping added to iOS in texting, very quick mention but that's an addition Android has had for a while.

Also smart sharing is great!

#WWDC19
Mail is getting desktop text formatting. That will be awesome for replying on the go.

#WWDC19
Quick type bar in Reminders. I don't use Reminders much, but these added features may make me use it more!

#WWDC19
Apple Maps finally getting the updates it needs. Looks like building 3D/textures. US rollout by end of 2019.

#WWDC19
Collections will be great when planning trips.

Look around window is basically Google Street View but the Apple Version

#WWDC19
Lots of great location based privacy updates.

Social log ins - digs at Facebook at Google Sign In... now there's sign in with Apple. Big lean in into privacy this #WWDC19
Hide my email is HUGE. Apple will make a random email address so your personal email isn't out there

#WWDC19
HomeKit Secure Video - encrypted and sent to iCloud where not even Apple can see. 10 day recording and doesn't count against iCloud storage.

#WWDC19
HomeKit enabled routers, that's really huge too. First coming to Linksys, Eero and Spectrum. I'm due to upgrade my router soon anyways.

#WWDC19
More personalization for Memoji - piercings, makeup, hair colors, headwear, etc.

Memoji stickers too! They're included in the emoji keyboard.

#WWDC19
Lighting updates in camera.

Photo editing updates are expanded, this is basically trying to eliminate things like VSCO.

Also effects are added to video - ROTATE A VIDEO THANK GOD

#WWDC19
Remove duplicates and clutter using machine learning. Will this clear out all the memes on my phone lol

#WWDC19
Really loving the layout of the days/new photo layouts. Will help us relive these buried pictures.

#WWDC19
The dynamic nature of the years is really cool. Knowing it's a birthday or event.

#WWDC19
Airpods updates - Siri can read your incoming messages, I can forsee my friends spamming that.
Audio sharing across Airpods - this makes listening on planes with friends so much nicer!

Handoff to HomePod, if I had a HomePod that would be really cool!

#WWDC19
Live radio coming! Now I can listen to my favorite Pittsburgh stations even easier!

#WWDC19
CarPlay dashboard getting updated, my next car is definitely going to have CarPlay... I love it!

#WWDC19
I haven't done any Siri shortcuts, but I think I need to. It's very robust.

#WWDC19
Neural TTS - Siri is WAY smoother now. Holy cow.

#WWDC19
SSO and separate accounts for Enterprise, I hope this expands BYOD programs.

#WWDC19
iPad now. Man I want/need one, it's such a great tool.

#WWDC19
iPad OS, so many great drag and drop features and functionality. Pinning widgets, slide over, switching apps in slide over.

#WWDC19
Dual note window??? All of these features make me want to convert to an iPad for my actual computer. These features are so robust.

#WWDC19
Dual Word windows and replying to emails... so great!

#WWDC19
Thumb drive into your iPad, goes into Files app. AND IMPORTING DIRECTLY FROM CAMERA!

#WWDC19
Desktop class browsing on iPad. That was a huge pain point for me with my old iPad, getting the mobile view on a large screen of an iPad.

Download manager is going to be great too, organization of saved items is important.

#WWDC19
Three fingers is the name of the game here. Wink, wink.

#WWDC19
Reduction from 20ms to 9ms latency on Apple Pencil, that will be incredible for creatives.

#WWDC19
Copy/Paste and Undo/Redo will include new swiping gestures. Pencil toolkit can be moved around and pinned anywhere on screen.

#WWDC19
Mac is up. #WWDC19
Brand new Mac Pro. Damn it's sexy!

#WWDC19
Way better than the trashcan one. Even that monitor is sleek

#WWDC19
28 core Intel Xeon processor, 1.5 TB of memory. Pretty good for base.

#WWDC19
I'll admit, MacPro usage is beyond my usage/knowledge. Obviously I know this info, but in terms of improvement for video editing/rendering/etc I can't speak to the new hardwares.

#WWDC19
WHEELS! There are WHEELS!

#WWDC19
New Mac Pro starting at $5999, coming in the Fall. Version will be available for rack deployment.

Pro Display is $4999. For that quality, that's great.
MacOS Catalina - we're going beachy!

#WWDC19
iTunes... now you're just getting silly sir.

#WWDC19
iTunes is being killed, as rumored. Now it's Apple Music, Podcasts and TV. Three separate apps.

#WWDC19
Syncing is moving to Finder, makes way more sense than an invasive forced iTunes loading

#WWDC19
Sidecar... hmmm #WWDC19
iPad as second display for Mac. Mobile workers are going to be so happy with that.

#WWDC19
Find My - Combining Find iPhone, Find Friends. Can locate offline devices. This was rumored as well, glad it's coming to light. Offline is used by pinging via bluetooth.

Encrypted and anonymous, activation lock coming as well.

#WWDC19
Screen Time is coming to the Mac, get a view across all devices.

#WWDC19
Project Catalyst update - available for devs today in Catalina. Xcode pulls in automatically Catalyst features.

#WWDC19
Twitter for Mac is coming back using Catalyst. #WWDC19
AR and Swift focus now #WWDC19
Minecraft IRL? #WWDC19
Okay, that's pretty cool. I don't know how much I'd actually play or use this Minecraft but it's kind of interesting.

Definitely shows how AR is going to be more accessible than VR
Swift was launched 5 years ago. 450k apps using Swift

#WWDC19
SwiftUI - I like how the logo makes the bird black, a nod to Dark Mode. Declarative, make apps with less code

#WWDC19
New interactive preview in Xcode #WWDC19
This is making app dev so much more friendly and accessible for those learning to code, and for the rest of us who are too lazy to type it all out!

#WWDC19
SwiftUI is available across all platforms with common API. #WWDC19
Big thank you from Tim to all employees, it takes a village for sure. #WWDC19
...And that wraps up my absolutely annoying live Tweeting of #WWDC19

Main things I'm excited for:
- Dark Mode in iOS
- iPad OS updates, especially the split screen
- Cycle Tracking in Health
