I’ve wanted to be able to set Siri commands for controlling my alarm system and my audio receiver without using my phone. But what I haven’t seen is whether it will take the actions you set or if an app needs api’s etc set with it.
OMG- Was anyone else Bored out of their mind?!
I looked at the time that this was done and thought... Steve would be pissed!
" You took the television to the crapper. It doesn't interface with Siri. "
You let Amazon wipe the floor with Siri compared to Alexa. You had years of advancement with siri and decided to let it wither away!
Then you develop products that are late to market and when they arrive they don't work with anything else to even be functional, i.e. HOMEPOD!!! (Returned mine!)
What about the applications? iPhoto and iOS. Your making them look like Windows 10!!!
There is nothing unique about Apple anymore! I give you 2 years until you drive the stock and the company down again.
Billions wasted on Auto Driving car...
Billions wasted on acquiring Beats for what? head phones guaranteed to break. ( went through 3 pairs in 1 year!!!)
Nothing is unique at Apple!!! It's copy and buy out!
Develop! Please! Cut down on the cost for App developers, provide a unique environment for iOS to grow, DEVELOP the HEALTH APP SO THAT REAL TIME DATA CAN BE PULLED DOWN and utilized by individuals interested in their health.
Take the apple pen and do something with it like across all platforms!!! TV, Mac OS, iOS, iPhone, and what about making i-Tunes Devices like an Alexa? Where my AppleTV/itunes device can go with me anywhere and store data and connect to a host of speakers? Instead it sits there next to my TV good for playing Netflix, which Xfinity can now do for me.
iOS use to be stable and strong, now I'm lucky if I can mirror my phone to apple TV, or not have it shut down 2 mins into playing a video?
Or what about trying to pull up my iPhone 3 photos only to find out that they can't be opened by anything in Apple anymore? WTFrak?
Why isn't the simple principles working? 3 clicks, less confusion and more solutions! Simpler icons not more difficult to see with out glasses icons.
Beats; sell it off!!! It's not worth it. I love Dre but come on! What is it good for? If you would have bought Sonos your money would have been better spent! Then you could have developed whole house speaker systems with built in Siri and then leveraged your searches.
Now you don't have a search engine, Amazon and Google will squeeze you into a smaller and smaller hole and you don't see it. People prefer simplicity and consistency.
How about a 3D work environment? Hand gestures to represent 3 D spaces? A new way of tracking files using 3D gestures and storage. Come on do something!!!!!!
Finally, if your not political then what are you? You recognize everything political more than any other CEO in America? That's fine so long as your creating and improving the iOS environment. But your not.. Your political meandering to the white house and still avoiding paying your billions in taxes that could go to help out the country that Apple is based in. Tim it's nothing personal but please let someone run the company with a vision of what the future should be and help them by being a great CFO or a COO but never a CEO. It's just not in your genes. Sorry.

iOS 12 speeds up many of the animations on the iPhone and iPad for faster performance, plus it brings a suite of new digital health tools for monitoring how much time you're spending on your devices and cutting back if desired.
Do Not Disturb at Bedtime minimizes nighttime distractions, while Group Notifications clean up your Lock screen. On the iPhone X, there are new emoji, including personalized "Memoji" characters that you can customize to look like you. ARKit 2 will bring improved multiplayer augmented reality apps that also offer object persistence, and Group FaceTime will let you chat with up to 32 people at once.
macOS Mojave introduces a new Dark Mode, a revamped and enhanced Finder, Desktop Stacks for managing items on your desktop, a redesigned Mac App Store, a Dynamic desktop that changes based on the time of day, and new apps that include Home, Apple News, Stocks, and Voice Memos.
As for tvOS, it brings long-awaited Dolby Atmos support and a new zero sign-on feature that's designed to let you access apps you're entitled to with your cable subscription when you're signed into your cable provider's WiFi.
watchOS 5 introduces auto workout detection for automatically starting and stopping workouts, new workout types, a Podcasts app, an activity competition mode for competing with friends, improvements to the Siri watch face, and a new Walkie-Talkie app for sending push-to-talk messages to friends and family.

Apple is a phone company now and has been since the launch of the iPhone. No software updates on iWorks, Safari, Mail, iMovie, Final Cut, iPhotos, iTunes, Maps, Calendar, Time Machine etc. You know the computer stuff. No hardware. When did Apple last update its hardware? 2010? 2009? No 17" laptop, no new iMac, its still stuck at 27". No new screens. No new Mac Pro since 2013. No new Mac mini. Why can't all Macs have user upgradable RAM? What are the hardware guys doing? What are the app programmers doing? Moving the chairs and desks around the new shiny HQ? Very disappointing Tim. I only saw one thing of interest which was Group FaceTime and blocking Facebook, which I don't use anyway. You might become the first trillion dollar company, but I care more about the poor hardware/software range Apple currently has, and has had for several years now. A Mac user for 25 years.
