Live From WWDC 2018: Coverage of Apple's Keynote with iOS 12, macOS 10.14, and More

[thadoggfather]

I'm happy so far, all those features are just basic stuff, changing names, small changes in small apps, etc. This is great because there is less chance of bugs, and maybe that thing about performance could be real. Keep it simple and deliver a decent iOS 11 (namely iOS12)

you underestimate apple quality control severely

hardly an Alexa killer.

Any app can be made into a Siri automation. That’s unlimited use cases that can now be launched with HomePod.

HomePod just leaped Alexa’s large library of skills with many many many times more posisbilities leveraging iOS’ millions of apps.

45 mins and still on iOS.

With macOS watchOS and tvOS, this is a 2 hour job, with zero hardware... as predicted.

We're bringing support for grouped notifications

 

[rotlex]

Never saw 3rd party maps on Carplay coming

Yes! If they announce nothing else, I'm ecstatic over this!!!!! Finally!!!!!

 

[dannyyankou]

Finally, grouped notifications

 

[GigabitEthernet]

My God Apple is doing good **** here

 

[Radon87000]

Finally thank you for ripping off Android's best feature

 

[clangers23]

Is Apple going to overhaul notifications? One can hope.

Good call, that's a no brainer, it surely can't be that difficult to implement? I suspect we'll get something unicorn based.

 

[Nozuka]

lol first big cheer, for group notification

 

[WhiteHawk]

Give her a break... I mean, she was sent there to talk about the Stocks app!

Unfortunately she did more than that, there’s such a thing as too excited, or at least pretending to be. The cringe was strong with this one.

 

[itsmilo]

Take out a feature, bring it back years later and people loose their s

 

[Polaroid]

Finally something we've waited ages for lol

 

[nordique]

these things are pretty sweet - some features i've wanted with do not disturb and bypassing notifications

but FINALLY, group notifications lol

 

[Rogifan]

Grouped notifications coming! Finally!

 

[DNichter]

Watching this, it certainly looks very dark to me. I hope a dark mode is the one more thing... we shall see.

 

[noobinator]

Waze you mean?

Both

 

[asiga]

Our next big release of iOS is — you guessed it! — iOS 12. Will be a free update.

Free? Really? And with free and infinite nagging update pop ups too? Make them one-button!! Or even better, automatically trigger the update when users are making a phone call!

 

[pat500000]

Apple is "too complicated."

 

[redheeler]

Do not disturb at night and grouped notifications seem like two features that should have been added to iOS a long time ago.

 

[Enygmatic]

Grouped notifications? Praise Pre-K Baby Jesus...

 

[donovumovi]

We wanted to go further...called Screen Time with reports including weekly activity summary on how you use your iPhone and iPad.

 

[tgwaste]

annnnnd still no way to disable notifications during games.

*sigh*

When the best thing about the keynote is the AR ruler thats just terrible.

 

[jamezr]

to help you mange notifications...we are going to send you more notifications....

 

[brentsg]

Siri demos always make me giggle.

I live Siri with the Homepod. She screws up more than she's right. She pops up with some bizarre stuff when she's not being addressed. It's a mess IRL.
