WWDC 2021 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: iOS 15, macOS 12, and More

[Ansath]

Yes, and Apple can work with the government and make it happen. As software developers around the globe do with their governments. In this particular case the US government is the problem here though.

Exactly. Until the government has their crap together, Apple can’s really do much. Apple are likely pushing for it, but until they budge, there’s no point then putting anything into iOS 15 for it.

That was ipadOS?????????????????????????????????????

 

[ctg7w6]

Just put xcode on here WTF I have an m1 ipad for gods sake

 

[The Mercurian]

The constant smiling is mental, almost psychopathic. Is this normal for Apple events?

Yeah and sound is overly artifical. Is this whole thing a simulation - us Skynet in control already ?

 

[macduke]

I kinda wondered if they would upgrade Swift Playgrounds for builds first before bringing full Xcode.

 

[isoft7]

This translate stuff is fun but it's quite honestly been available on Android for YEARS now, same exact features, works perfectly.

 

[Psychicbob]

AKA get building apps everybody cos pro-software houses are not bothering and the App Store is stagnating

 

[brofkand]

Are we getting proper external monitor support for iPad?

No but you can translate how to say "external monitor" in Farsi.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

I hate to say I agree. These look like some pretty great new features… Because we have always wanted more multitasking features. But there are a lot of things to “learn” or, probably, not learn. Ok to the little dots on top, cool. But WTF is the shelf? It’s a dock within an app I guess? Is the shelf in the dock too? New keyboard shortcuts so I don’t have to lift my hands? Ok, that’s just called a laptop.

I never bothered to learn some of the current multitasking features because they were simply more complicated than just using my macbook. I hope this year is different, but I just don’t know.

The iPad is just as simple for those that don't care for the deep features. That's the beauty of it.

I look forward to learning all the deep stuff.

This is going down as the worst apple keynote ever. I am an advanced user, and I am dreading my 75 year old father updating to iPad OS 15. Could they have made this any more complicated? So far the only thing of value is spatial audio on all devices.

I liked it when they said they invented google earth.

 

[greenmeanie]

Can we go straight to "just one more thing"

 

[fel10]

Not impressed

 

[jimmy_uk]

iPad is not, and never will be, a Mac.

Being able to move an App in a window would be easy to implement and be more intuitive than the shopping list of gestures you need to learn. I'm not asking it to be a Mac.

And I'm certain those that thought MacOS was coming are crying over the spilt milk.

 

[PharmlyDoc]

I have a feeling we are not going to see new MBP today

I have the same feeling.

 

[007p]

Awesome that’s it for iPadOS 15.

Super happy 😆

 

[slamtennis]

iPadOS - not much to see there

 

[metalsiren]

and thats it for iPad OS

 

[JediStarWars]

Don't worry if you missed the start, I've been taking notes. Here's what we know so far:

Back to you, Steve!
Thanks, Jack, over to you, Shelley.
Thanks, Steve, back to you, Chrissy.
And that's Maps. Back to you, Lando.
Thanks, Chrissy, over to you Sally.
The most Magical wallet ever. Back to you, Yasmin.
Thank you, Sally. Over to Simone.
Back to you, Yvonne!
Thanks, Simone, over to you, Deborah.
Thanks, Yvonne, back to you, Katrina.
And that's how you turn off your iPhone. Back to you, Kevin.
Thanks, Katrina, over to you Michaela.
And that's how you turn the volume down on your $1,100 iPad Pro. Back to you, Penelope.
Thanks, Michaela. Sweet wheelchair.

 

[Justin L Franks]

No pro apps for iPadOS.....REALLY disappointing. What was the point of making an M1-powered iPad Pro?!?!?

 

[Maclver]

Sighhhhh. I feel like in the future Apple rumor sites shouldn't hype everything up like they did this year. So far let down on both iOS and iPadOS

 

[The Clark]

Building apps for the ipad on the ipad is pretty cool, but I don't think it's enough to replace Macbooks.

 

[adammusic]

Apples Weather app still doesnt have radar?
Come on

 

[ArPe]

TIME FOR MACOS 12 GUISE AND GURLS

 

[Johnny907]

Missed opportunity to stick the superhero landing, Craig.

 

[Kylo83]

No way they think iPadOS is good enough, many m1 iPads are gonna get retuned
