Watching this keynote makes me realize just how little I use my iPhone, and how unvaried and simple the things I use it for are. Some of the features for iOS 17 are quite clever, but most of them are of no interest to me. I don't have a compulsion to photograph and record every minute of my life, or share it with others. Some of the features are just plain weird to me - such as stickers. I had stickers when I was 7. Now I'm in my 40s, and I have no stickers at all.
iOS seems increasingly targeted at the type of person who just can't let go of their phone for one minute, and who walks down the street with their head down, immersed in their screen, oblivious to everything around them. They experience everything through their phone, not through their eyes, ears or senses.

That's how iPadOS works now, they add features that were previously in iOS and act like they did some amazing innovation. Maybe iPadOS 25 will have a calculator...
The "one more thing" is going to be that the entire WWDC presentation today was done by AI and no real people were used.
Only iPad Air!
Multiple timers!
"We truly live in an age of wonders."
At least they're self aware? FINALLY.

Haha self deprecating joke about how it shouldn’t have taken this long to do multiple timers.
I thought he was going to say Calculator... I really did
LOL
"We truly live in an age of wonders" is the new "can't innovate my ass."

Lock Screen allows you use customize widgets grouped. This is bringing some other customization that iPhone users have to iPad users - Great!
Is it so hard for us to have new icons like macOS, also why is interactive widgets only for iPad that’s mega annoying
