A new systemwide Sleep Mode that can be toggled in Control Center to turn on Do Not Disturb, darken the Lock Screen, and mute all notifications.
Isn't the bolded part redundant?

What will that buy them? I mean, the watch has already been usable without an iPhone if you spend the extra money on cellular. But the watch doesn't really reach its full potential until paired with an iPhone. Who would even buy a *truly* independent Apple Watch? Without iPhone integration, it would essentially be a very expensive Fitbit.
A dedicated App Store app on the Apple Watch itself
I have a hard-time imaging who would use that. Apart from that the number of third party apps on my Apple Watch I use daily is zero, what would be the advantage of that?

And people here sill still complain.
That’s not the fault of the OS. That responsibility lies at the feet of Apple’s Software Development Team, and Apple’s general attitude toward desktop systems.
MacOS began it’s slow festering decomposition when Apple went from Apple Computer to Apple Inc.![]()
You can attach a file directly in Mail for iOS.I’m shocked Apple hasn’t made it easier to send a file through email instead we have to jump through hoops to do it.
The big push for the unification of iOS and MacOS has begun. Shame on you Apple. It’s going to become Windows 10. A bloated, unoptimized pig.![]()
Did you expect everything to get "leaked"? I'm sure the volume HUD will get a redesign. There's just no way they can skip it.
The Apple Pencil never happened either based on the Apple’s previous statements.Apple either goes with unified apps on both platforms, or forces MacOS users to wait for years for iOS features to finally come to the Mac, acting like its most expensive products (Macs) are all an afterthought. Remember how many years it took Siri to finally get a Mac port? iPhone in 2011, Mac in 2016 - that's 5 years we had to wait.
If done right, Marzipan could be a great thing for Mac users. MacOS feature-parity with iOS is a long time in coming. Plus, the project has the potential to create a lot of native third-party apps for the Mac as well, and encourage developers to make apps they can easily test natively on their Mac and transition to iOS as well.
But Apple should not merge MacOS and iOS, and this is something that won't happen based on previous statements.
This. Airplay 2 support needs to be fleshed out more (which this would be a part of).
If I stream Apple Music from my iPhone to my Airplay 2 speakers, I can control that stream from my watch or from any other iOS device or from iTunes.
If I stream Apple Music from my iPad to my Airplay 2 speakers, I can control that stream from any other iOS device or from iTunes. But why not my watch? Whats so fundamentally different about those two uses?
And don't get me started on the ability to *start* an airplay 2 audio session from iTunes on a mac...
Then what you actually want is a laptop.
I've definitely gotten to where I can't live without a swipe keyboard!
We really need much more love for digital watch faces in the next OS. That's a huge want from me.
Kind of a hack, but I do "Hey Siri, remind me every day at 1pm to take the red pill."
The Apple Pencil was intended to bring some of the benefits of a stylus, without the negative consequences of making it the primary input device. The Marzipan project is intended to bring some of the benefits of a MacOS / iOS merger, without the negative consequences of fully merging the two into a single OS.The Apple Pencil never happened either based on the Apple’s previous statements.
Just yesterday I was texting to a friend about Swiftkey, how I had sort of forgotten about it’s existence, and how I needed to look into using it or something like it again because my typing on the phone sucks so bad. Except that due to my bad typing I somehow managed to accidentally invite the friend over to murder my dog. Or something like that.
If this is not about watch faces, I can't imagine it either. But maybe they finally have some good developers ready with some actual decent apps up their sleeve.A dedicated App Store app on the Apple Watch itself

Yes. SO that's why everyone cried about a dark mode and we're getting one...You don't know Apple well enough then lol. They won't upgrade something unless they feel like it, no matter how loud the public outcry.... It's probably getting updated but it wouldn't surprise me if we see the same atrocious volume HUD again. Because that's just how Apple rolls.
