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

[Tig Bitties]

I am mostly disappointed that they didn’t do any real UI changes

I thought a lot of rumors pointed to a UI overhaul. Which is desperately needed. The kiddy Fisher-Price toy looking home screen is getting very dated.

 

[TheDailyApple]

Airplay to Mac will be super useful to me. My sound system is connected to my Mac.

 

[macduke]

Hopefully someday I can plug my Xbox or PS into my iMac.

 

[UBS28]

Airplay on Mac was a long awaited feature. Seems the good features are coming now.

 

[Kylo83]

Does macos have airplay 2 now so stereo homepods works without lag

 

[redbeard331]

No new Lock Screen, or interactive widgets; i feel like moving to android for the first time ever

Do it, you don’t even have to completely switch over, a free Android phone blows the iPhone away, I was the biggest Apple fanboy on Earth and now use a Android phone and it’s better than the iPhone in almost every way. All software and hardware have their issues, but at least with an Android you are on the latest tech, and you can do whatever you want with it. No waiting 4-5 years Apple to get around to things, and no ancient OS that lacks basic features and can’t be in any way other than changing your WALLPAPER! Oh yea we can use custom icons now if use shortcuts and are willing to lose notification badges and “3D touch”.

 

[isoft7]

SO you can use the iMAC has a secondary display now for MBP and iPAD?!?!? That is really interesting

No... the displays are fully independent from one another, you're only able to move items between the various environments.

 

[ohio.emt]

apple watch can only do a SINGLE lead ECG.......not very reliable.

For what Apple is doing with it, you don’t need 4,12,15, or 18 lead EKGs.

 

[magicschoolbus]

Just give the iPad mac os dual boot when it’s magnetically connected to a magic keyboard. That would be way more revolutionary then anything I saw today.

 

[Mrjynx]

Universal Control. . . . This is why I'm watching, that was pretty incredible.

 

[MistrSynistr]

Not a soul who is a casual user of Apple products or iPhone knows or understands shortcuts.

This is an insanely deep tech nerd gag.

 

[TheDailyApple]

It appears shortcuts has replaced Automator

 

[yaxomoxay]

SO you can use the iMAC has a secondary display now for MBP and iPAD?!?!? That is really interesting

No. They will still be independent as far as I understood. Only the cursor will extend across devices

 

[contacos]

My biggest take away from this keynote is that the „T“ in Monterey is apparently silent.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Apple hasn't done much with Shortcuts for iOS and now they bring that same intensity to Mac. Awesome.

 

[freedomlinux]

oh right, Safari still exists

And yet here you are....

 

[DesertNomad]

Universal Control will be nice for my various test machines. One keyboard for three Macs on my desk.

 

[isoft7]

I believe it's project name is "Mac OS Money'yay!"

 

[HappySponge]

Oh thanks for crushing my hopes that this WWDC had anything useful. lol

 

[PharmlyDoc]

Uh oh! He said "finally" – does this mean no hardware?

 

[4jasontv]

CHROME! Oh. Yeah... sure.

 

[AngerDanger]

Did… did they just show off a GIF-creation shortcut?!

 

[UBS28]

Safari is not the best on Mac and is not the fastest browser. Microsoft Edge runs faster on my Intel Mac.

 

[fncd]

Maybe they will fix the horrific dev tools in Safari.
