Everything We're Expecting to See at the WWDC 2024 Keynote

Translate app please! If we can get anything half as good as Google’s on the same damn phone I would appreciate it.

Try ChatGPT. I used it a month ago to translate Faroese and it was terrible. I tried it today one more time and it’s pretty good.

iPadOS 18 will be DOA if there is not a way to run actual desktop apps.

Eum… app already exists

 

[satchmo]

waiting for the 2nd article "what not to expect" to show up later today. Thats what I'm most interested in :-D /s

Followed by a summary with ‘everything we know so far’ article.

 

[Digital Dude]

Seemingly this is going to be a major update, but I’ve learned from years and years of Apple hype, not to get my hopes up. Apple has become great at BS, and short on substance. 🤷‍♂️

 

[patent10021]

Xcode for iPadOS?

 

[scrapesleon]

I expecting bug improvements no laggy software

 

[nuff_said]

I’ll take that bet, passwords as part of icloud via keychain (all icloud options, including free tier) are a big selling point of the seamless “just works” nature of the ecosystem, a standalone app is basically just a GUI for that, I have serious doubts it‘ll be tied to a subscription

Valid point.

My thoughts are since we may see a standalone app, it may include other aspects not available today from the barebones password section in settings. Things like 2FA/MFA linked to Face ID or Apple Watch, security breach notifications with some sort of click here to have all your passwords automatically changed and updated in your vault, some sort of VPN in the future, shared password vaults, additional tiered encrypted storage etc.
Those are what I think Apple will charge a monthly subscription for.

Moreover, I don’t think they’ll eliminate a free tier.

I expect a first look at groundbreaking updates coming to Apple platforms later this year. And, better emoji than ever before.

I'm not expecting much, in fact I'll probably wait till Tuesday to view the opening keynote so that I can skip the stupid and boring parts. Now that I think about it, there's probably not any need to watch it all?

 

[CasualFanboy]

My guess is not much. iOS seems to get all the focus

Yep.

MacOS barely even gets mentioned in that video, other than "oh, and all those things coming to the phone OS, yeah we'll probably see those get thrown in too, dumbed down interface and all."

I can't imagine sitting through one of these cringe fests.

That should be "...short on substance and quality."

Xcode for iPadOS?

Xcode is so buggy that any port that is not completely rewritten is going to be a terrible experience.

I think xcode is Apple's secret weapon to keep up app quality in the Apple ecosystem. It's so insanely completed it discourages most casual devs

 

[now i see it]

This wwdc looks to be a Me-Too presentation. Hooray — ChatGPT will be integrated into the OS. Clap. Clap. Clap.

 

[MiG007]

Putting invisible rows on your iPhone layout... hmmm how about a desktop app to arrange all the apps on all your iPhone pages?

Oh, and can we please merge icloud accounts.

 

[9081094]

I was mostly ironic. But it's funny that calculator hasn't been on iPad yet, but is even available on Apple Watch and now needs to be highlighted as an upcoming feature.

When there is not much else to see and creative Timmy needs something to steel the show. It’s a safe bet for him… investing minimal money and talk about it the whole event 🤣😂🤣

 

[imtoretto]

🥱

 

[Antoniosmalakia]

So many attempted assassinations on Tim’s character and clothing instead of talking about what the article is about.

It’s rather embarrassing to read sometimes.

Xcode for iPadOS?

If that happens, then users can take open source software and compile it themselves and apple can't get a 15% cut.

 

[mrhick01]

iPadOS 18 will be DOA if there is not a way to run actual desktop apps.

Why do you wish for the iPad to be a Mac?

 

[citysnaps]

Criticizing how Tim Cook dresses...so silly and immature. And for what purpose other than being able to feel good taking a swing at TC and Apple.

What's next... his haircut and glasses?

 

[chrono1081]

Xcode for iPadOS?

I would love this personally. Even if it was just a "lite" version that maybe didn't include all the profiling tools or something, just something where I could work from on a plane or something without hauling my laptop around.

 

[chrono1081]

If that happens, then users can take open source software and compile it themselves and apple can't get a 15% cut.

What? They could already do that with Xcode. I think he means just having the IDE on the iPad. Logic and Final Cut came to the iPad it would be nice if the developers saw some iPad love too.
