My personal recap of this keynote
The weird stuff:
- Apple reinvents Winterboard theming from iPhoneOS 2
- Apple reinvents Android quick settings panel
- Apple reinvents PiP on Safari
- Apple reinvents tiling windows
- Apple Intelligence - I’m a bit sceptical on how capable it will turn out. Also for everyone not living in the US of A it’s again envy and waiting. Finally, I can’t get my head around it how they won’t be losing tons of money. Personal cloud AI sounds expensive as hell.
- Even more iMessage bloat enhancements
The fun stuff:
- Skydiving - I’m definitely not too old for this stuff.
- Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig
- Parcour
- Calculator on iPadOS - Err, are we living in 3024 now? World hunger is no more, everyone.
- WatchOS workout evaluation
The good stuff:
- Math and calculations in iPad Calculator and Notes - This would instantly make me buy an iPad for studies, if I were going to school/university right now
- Handwriting x word processor
- Your iPhone on your Mac - The seamlaess drag and drop gesture felt a bit like magic.
- On device AI - Pretty dope concept. I hope this turns out well.
Satellite sos was only available on 14 or newer on release, which is even less support for the prior gen than apples intelligence features (which at least supports the pro lineup from the prior gen, as well as every apple silicon Mac released)
