What to Expect at WWDC: iOS 13, macOS 10.15, watchOS 6 and tvOS 13

[AngerDanger]

The best thing iOS 13 could have is some sort of watchdog for apps that DRAIN your battery, such as going to bed with a 92% charge and waking up with a dead iPhone. And I mean not because I fell asleep watching Netflix and it played episode after episode all night...I mean nothing going on. Lock it and set it on the night stand. Morning time...dead. Battery usage graph looks like the face of a cliff.

So hard to read that term without taking it literally.

That's still under-delivered..... Yeah, that would be great. They haven't done much with either of those categories since TC gave Forstall the boot

I could not disagree more. Apple Maps and Siri have improved substantially over the years.

"iPad as an external display" could be a quite exciting if it is done right. It could let Apple challenge Wacom directly if it supported things like zBrush, photoshop, substance painter, etc.

I’m shocked this isn’t getting more buzz. If this comes to fruition and supports my first gen iPad Pro it’ll be like being handed an incredibly valuable tool for free

 

[nouveau_redneck]

Any chance Scott Forstall will be on stage announcing the return of user interfaces that are easy to use, approachable, friendly and fun?

Bitter much? Does anything in this world give you joy?

Looking forward to Monday.

Whatever Apple presents at their keynote it could never be as bad as the snooze fest that was Google I/O.

Yeah, it must’ve stung Android users that the biggest I/O reveal (in my opinion), was that their new assistant feature that makes phone calls & sets appointments for you, whilst pretending to be human- will be available to iOS users en masse, before eking out to more than an incredibly limited number of Android models.

Ouch.

Ever since Snow Leopard (I know, I know, that was a looong time ago) all I've ever wanted from  was a much more powerful tower type computer (MacPro type). The endless Mac OS updates since then haven't improved the Mac experience one bit except to mate the Mac with the iPhone. Some would say, it's been downhill ever since. I certainly don't enjoy it as much that's for sure.

For me Snow Leopard was THE BEST Mac OS update ever. Because they advertised it as mostly making the OS faster, more efficient, and squashing bugs. All "under the hood stuff" with less emphasis on new stuff/Emojis/etc.
And for the most part that is EXACTLY what it was. A very clean version of Mac OS.

This article says iOS 13 will improve performance on existing and including older devices, haven't heard that before. I suppose it's possible, but I feel like it's going to be about the same or a bit worse.

 

[smorrissey]

I dunno 13 is pretty bad luck...bahahah

 

[lsutigerfan1976]

Bigger disappointment at this point. Game of Thrones finale? Or ios 13?

 

[jetjaguar]

mac pro is all i want

 

[scrapesleon]

The count down begins

 

[rjp1]

We are approaching watchOS 6 and they still haven’t released some of the missing complications for the Infograph face.

I guess this is courage or something.

Still running on my oldest 2007 MBP.

All I want is for messages deleted on iPhone to sync/delete on Apple Watch

Ouch.

iOS got a new volume bar.

Ouch.

You’re absolutely right. But your logic is not going to align with others on here, they will refute you about Siri, Apple Maps, Tim Cook‘s leader ship, etc. Because they just want to find anything to complain about Apple and they think they have a threshold over Apple on a tech site. Fun fact: They don’t, Apple just continues to improve and grow every single year.

Based on that, it's already feeling somewhat Meh. iOS UI is SOOOOO stale. Needs a groundbreaking new innovating Springboard.

And Mac OS hasn't delivered anything significantly major other than incremental improvements since Continuity/Handoff other than the new file system, unless you want to count the T2 chip, which more of a hardware/software feature and only limited to a smaller set of Macs.

But remember, in the Timmy post-a-Stev-elyptic Apple World, you can only get excited about what Timmy wants you to get excited about, so please everybody applaud as loud as you can when more useless Memoji features come along to spruce up the worldwide disease, otherwise known as texting.

/end rant/

Please be excited by the number of celebrities Tim met over the last year

 

[Bin Cook]

Please sort our screen time so we can exclude certain apps. Don’t leave it undeveloped for three, four years like most new features.

 

[GuruZac]

I’d be happy with dark mode and majorly expanded Haptic Touch functionality to mimic most 3D Touch functions. PiP would be a great addition as well.

 

[MacMan988]

I'm wondering if Apple has forgotten to update Car Play.

 

[outskirtsofinfinity]

Foo Fighters? U2? What’s next? Celine Dion? Why does the Apple community seem to have such a bland, lowest common denominator taste in music?

 

[Bin Cook]

Tim IS the celeb and he’ll have a JJ Abrams produced intro video to prove it.

 

[Guda.FL]

I'd still be happy even if iOS 13 was just the new volume HUD.

Its still rather odd that it took them this long to change this. Its the most annoying part of ios.

iPad as an External Display

macOS 10.15 will feature an option to send any app to an external display, including connected monitors and even an iPad. The feature is said to be available through a menu that can be opened by hovering over the maximize icon in any Mac app.

As many have said before... while a welcome addition this is why they broke Duet.
