I in turn, will ask Federighi what hair products he recommends.
Do you think he will answer? And. if so, will MR post the answer on the front page, "as news we care about"./s

Did the guy in the Tweet really add an entry to his Contacts list for Craig Federighi complete with corporate head shot as the profile picture?
If I recall correctly, they mentioned during the keynote that Siri wouldn’t take over the whole screen in CarPlay.
This please. It's either end the call (rude) or wait for it to go through (takes long) which is annoying.
To add to this, when I plug my phone into the car, why does a screen have to come up on the phone that just shows Car Play. Half the time I am trying to set up music to play or a GPS destination right after I plug the phone in and that CarPlay screen just forces me to dismiss it immediately every time. I can see when CarPlay has started by looking at the screen in the car, I don't need the phone to tell me too.
This and music auto playing when connecting, it’s annoying and we should have the option to disable auto play when connect to CarPlay
Yeah, I mean it could fold down like the notifications do currently at the very least.
*Cough* Office clips *Cough*.
Nobody knows how Apple implements Siri. But I highly doubt it is just a simple visual change.
Oh yeah... I‘d argue that was because Steve Jobs still took the lead of design. /s
It’s absurd that phone calls still take up the entire screen.
Here's what is different. First, like Tim Cook, he obviously gets a ton of emails from customers and can't respond to most of them. They know that each of their responses is likely to be shared, so they are very selective in what they respond to from the general public and in what they say. Indeed they have to be careful not to run afoul of stock manipulation claims in these "public" responses. The fact that he chose to respond to this specific one means he chose he words carefully and intended to send a message. Couple that with it couldn't be added "at the last minute" is a validation that he supports it, and we'll likely see it in a subsequent update.

Say "Hey Siri" when using an iPad, and Apple's virtual assistant will take over the entire display, obscuring whatever you were doing on the device. Say the same thing to your Mac, however, and Siri responds in a more multitasking-friendly way by appearing in a small window in the corner of the screen, allowing you to drag and drop retrieved items from it.
This less disruptive, more functional implementation of Siri in macOS may well be coming to iPad, although it's unlikely to appear in the first version of iPadOS, which is due to be released this fall. The possibility was hinted at by Craig Federighi, Apple's VP of software engineering, in response to an email sent to him by Apple user Juliano Rossi.
Responding to Rossi's request that Siri on iPadOS behaves like on the Mac, without filling the entire screen, Federighi wrote:
As Federighi's response suggests, adding this less intrusive Siri behavior would require some significant changes to the OS, so it's not something that could be included at this late stage in software testing. But as Portuguese tech blog iHelp BR notes, it's at least good to know that Apple is aware of the legitimate request, which would bring iPadOS even closer to the macOS experience.
Apple often considers user feedback, but sometimes takes a while to act on it. For instance, the company eventually responded to multiple user requests that it change the volume level indicator in iOS. When pressing the volume buttons on iPhone or iPad running iOS 12 or earlier, the volume indicator displays in the center of the screen, obscuring content. As of iOS 13, coming this fall, the indicator is smaller and appears at the side of the display in a less intrusive manner.
Unveiled last week during Apple's WWDC keynote, iPadOS is designed to bring more desktop-class functionality to iPads with bigger screens. iPadOS will incorporate several features that recognize the tablet's function as a potential computer replacement, including a new Home screen, an updated Split View to enhance multitasking, and improved Apple Pencil support.

I really wish they would’ve done this on the iPhone with ios13. Seriously though, a phone interrupting what your typing or looking at should not be a problem now a days. At least make it an option for the user to decide how they want to be alerted visually
At least one uses Siri through choice. Telephone calls on iPad are far more irritating. An interrupting call comes in that you’d prefer to ignore, and your iPad is bricked until the caller gets bored or it goes to voicemail. Quite ridiculous.
Edit: actually I guess in this instance you can press the home button to relegate the call to the background?

It’s not quite a rumor, true. But it’s a bit much to expect the forum spinoff: MacDefiniteMaybe.com
iPad OS my guy, iPad OS

Or have a small interface at the bottom 40% of the screen
