Interested to see what is revealed today #WWDC21
SPATIAL AUDIO FACETIME????
Those noise suppression options seem super useful tbh
FaceTime grid view should’ve been a feature since long long ago
I’m pretty sure the FaceTime portrait mode video is a teaser for the iPhone 13, probably. But clearly they can retroactively add it as a feature on the current iPhone lineup
Zoom has been awfully quiet since FaceTime iOS 15 dropped
SharePlay’s API is going to seriously change things for the better for FaceTime. This is awesome
“Shared With You” is a beautiful example of the deep integration possible on iOS.
YESSSSSSS THIS IS GREAT
The new “Do Not Disturb” is much much welcomed improvement
“Focus” is such a cool feature. I feel like I’ll probably use this a bunch lmao
They’re finally doing useful shit with the scanner. “Intelligence” looks really REALLY useful.
So this is what the leakers meant by Apple trying to develop its own search engine… Spotlight got a massive update.
This kind of feels like how Apple aims to compete with Instagram and TikTok?
“Tap to unlock” is a surprise. Personal ID encrypted and stored on Wallet is even MORE surprising.
Dark Sky died for this lmao
Pokémon GO but Apple Maps huh
3D Apple Maps is pretty neat but will this and further improvements be enough?
This is such a cool implementation of Apple’s AR investments!!!!
I’m so glad they’ve updated Siri to announce more than just text messages.
FindMy updates for AirPods, very cool!
spatial audio took way too long to come to tvOS lmao
Spatial audio on macOS!!!!
SPATIAL AUDIO IS OUT ON APPLE MUSIC TODAY!!!!
Yayyyyy
Widgets on the Home Screen really should have been a thing from the start, guys.
iPadOS 15 is just iPad catching up to iOS, huh?
Finally… updated multitasking windows, and the “shelf”.
Quick note is such a great idea honestly
That handwriting translate practice thing is very duolingo vibes lol
Oh hey you can build apps directly from iPadOS using SwiftUI and submit it to the App Store from the IPAD!!!!!
The mail privacy updates and safari updates are looking great
Siri processing on device has been one of the smart assistant features I’ve always been a fan of. These privacy updates to Siri hopefully make it even faster and safer
The new iCloud+ adding Private Relay and Hide My Email is really nice
I would be more excited for macOS if I owned a macbook
I totally missed the smart home shit tho and that makes me sad. Recaps exist at least
So #WWDC21 really felt like the “FaceTime update” for iOS.
I’m sorta iffy on this WWDC21. Lots of cool to be had, lots of underwhelming things too. A lot of iOS’ changes this year will just be to messages and FaceTime, and I’m most excited about the notification grouping.
WatchOS, macOS, updates felt more like quality of life things. iPadOS’ updates were things it should’ve had far far earlier. I’m glad they’re actually doing things they should’ve done earlier (Siri on third party products, “Matter” smart home standard).
The AirPods should’ve had find my capabilities like AirTags from the moment they announced AirTags, but at least we’re finally here. The surprise Apple Music hifi and spatial audio launch was cool too I guess.
Overall a very “ok” #WWDC21
