It's now CarPlay. It's very much alive, just that regular developers aren't invited to the party yet.
Family Sharing Qs
Let's play this out to get to the questions I'd like answered:
Today, Mom and Dad each have their own iTunes accounts that predate their relationship. Mom's paid for her content, Dad's paid for his. Q1: By updating Mom's credit card to match Dad's, do the accounts sync up?
Q2: If dad had an old iTunes account and a newer one, because...life, and they both have the same credit card number, is that going to eat up one of the 6 slots?
Family goes down the road of life and Daughter has her own iTunes account now, shared with Mom & Dad. She's going off to college and getting cut-off from the iTunes gravy train. Q3: Does she have only the purchases made from her account (paid for by Dad)? or is she back to square one with no purchase history? Q4: Does dad (who paid for it all) lose access to the things his daughter authorized through her account?

Even with iOS 7, you can use individual Apple Ids for everything except for the iTunes and App Stores. My wife's phone has her own apple id for everything and mine for the Stores (for apps). This new feature just allows the kids to have their own apple ids even for the stores and ask your permission to buy the apps. This is more for kids rather than for husband and wife I guess.
I guess what I was thinking in my head is the amount of people who come on to the forums and say how underwhelmed they are expecting Apple to announce lots of different hardware such as iPhone 6, Apple TV, iPad Air 2 etc.
I'm not totally convinced they realise that WWDC is mainly developer focused.
All the hackers will try to break code here to gain access to our data, hopefully the security is rock solid.......
No, you weren't. You were hoping to make this statement regardless of what they came out with.
Thanks for posting those details. I notice that a shared Contact List is not mentioned.
I hope Google sues the hell out of Apple for it's photocopy version of "OK, Goggle," i.e., "Hey, Siri."
Depends on how you use it. On paper the GS4 does more, but it reality, I used more iOS 7 features than I did on the GS4 I owned. Therefore, my iPhone in its current state does more than a GS4 for how I use it.
Here are my educated guesses based on what I've read so far and on Apple's past account handling methods.
From the wording I can't tell if non-DRM music that you've already copied from the purchaser (another family member) will remain usable when you exit from the Family Plan.
No, but Mom and Dad can now copy items out of each other's collections.
Yes.
Back to square one with no purchase history.
Yes.
