It's so amazing to me that Apple bashes Android for being behind and lusts over implementing their features.
Got a tip for us?

You sort of skipped over HandOff there. Synching docs in google docs is not at all the same thing.
Family sharing coming a couple of years too late for me. I need Former Family Unsharing. I'll explain.
Married 20+years. My apple id controls everything. Wife now ex, has divorced me. If I take her off of my iPhone account (which I kind of have to do, since the password is the password to my email, for one thing), she loses all of her apps and all of her purchased music that is protected. She may even be losing all the data from her apps. I can't think of any way to help her out with this.
Ideas? You can just send your idea to Apple for "requested features."

oh yeah! well can your samsung send an iMessage? No? didnt think so HA!
just kidding lol
Amen. I need to find the right shot to check it out, but QR is about the only remaining reason I JB.
Took you long enough apple. I used to love my iPhone, and if it had all of these features three years ago I would've stuck with it. But all they do now is bash android and then take their features. Like damn apple, make something on your own for once.
All I see are more ways to crash my phone
All these features just sound like crash nightmares, battery draining disasters. I swore I would never get an Android phone when I watched a friend debugging his with special software tools. Screw that on a phone. Seems we are heading that way on a rocket train. Too many crosstalking tools killing battery life and creating potential crashes. Hope I am wrong.

i dont get why apple won't use widgets on screen. Doesn't putting them all in notification center push down actual notifications? Oh well, at least one of my major complaints was fixed this year (3rd party keyboards).
Fix widgets and there is little reason to keep using android IMO.

I'm pretty sure for the most part apples native implementation of features run better than androids native features. I'll bet apples health is better than samsungs s health
Impressed that you care enough at this point. Not sure I would, and I'm still married.

You're not wrong.
The iPhone-level smartphone has been around for seven years now.
That's two geological epochs in 21st century consumer electronics' time.
It's become commoditized: smartphones aren't that big of a deal anymore.
Apple, of course, knows this.
So to keep interest in smartphones at somewhat of a fever pitch,
they're making them more operationally complex, read: 64-bit desktop-class CPUs!,
hence the the higher incedence of the potential for crashes you mention.
And that desktop-class CPU is something that, just maybe,
a smartphone's battery isn't meant to handle: hence the increased drain.

So I wonder if iPhone 5 will run this OS well. It seems a trend that the 2 year old devices tend to not run the new OS's well (it's why my ipad 2 is still on 6. I have no need of 7 on it and I don't want to risk slowing it down).
These udpates sound good and I'd love to take advantage of them (hell, the touch id one makes me wish I had a 5s) but I don't want to slow my phone down. And I don't really want a new iphone (can't afford it and I really don't want a bigger screen. If I got a new one I'd probably just go for a 5s).

I won't speak for Apple or anyone else, but I have yet to see a useful widget on a phone.
The clock is already there, and doesn't need to be fancier. The weather is always based on some horrible app, and may not apply to my location, anyway. Calendar is covered in various ways, doesn't need a "widget", really. I suppose stock info might be good, but I don't need it. Nobody makes a decent device-info widget, like you can get on a computer.
iOS apps are basically widgets themselves.
Instead of widgets, how about you just tap & hold an app's icon so it expands a bit
then shows whatever it is you'd see in a "widget display"?

He didn't, but Craig has a polished and warm stage presence - that much was evident during last year's keynotes, so it's not surprising that he was called on to do the bulk of this one. I also noted that the levity has increased too - they were obviously testing the water with what they could get away with last year and really stepped it up this time around.
It also helps that he's the man in charge of OS X and iOS, so WWDC is pretty much his ballpark.
Yeah, her loss as part of the divorce settlement. Just do it, you'll feel better and she can move on and pay for her apps again. No longer your problem buddy. If she calls you about just say you don't know, must be because we are no longer married, can't help you sorry. -click-
I wish you all the best in this next stage of your life.
Not quite, Android is very stable now, and battery life is much better than iPhone.
He has the Nexus 5 and I have the iPhone 5, my phone is dead by 4-5pm, his is fine until 11pm-12am. And there are no bugs or anything.
Such as? Surely you can add examples if you're going to have a dig at someone in this fashion.
Yeah, that picture of Jony with Craig's hair was a hoot! lol
You're 100% on the mark with that one.
From here on out, WWDCs are Craig's baby with Tim providing the bookending.
Wouldn't it make more sense to show off multi-user support when they release iPads with Touch ID in a few months? Who knows, maybe they'll show off split screen support as well at that time.
