WWDC 2024 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: iOS 18, Apple's AI Push, and More

[iluvcrap2000]

are you kidding me with the iOS updates? This is Pitiful. Privacy is good to hid stuff from the COPS and the Gov't(China). Yeah sure pairing your hair dryer is revolutionary, Dumb.

Is this LiDAR drier some spoiler or inside joke?

 

[djinn]

nothing impressive so far, other than the cool plane/skydive intro sequence

Typical behavior. I think there's a bake in period and getting hands on that increases acceptance with the new changes.

 

[soapropos]

can they please change the thumbs up tapback from "liked"

 

[delsoul]

Honestly not seeing much of anything useful. Is Apple just like Hollywood and all out of new ideas?

 

[LaterWolf]

Heh, the tapback rumor was true

 

[Maclver]

Hide and lock apps...awesome. More ways to hide stuff from your significant other, spouse, parents, etc. That is just what the world needs. Thanks Apple!!

I mean.... im pretty sure i would hide my Twitter app.. don't want anyone knowing i still have it lol

 

[RedGT]

Is this Android?

Feels very Android.

I bet people who have these phones and watch this event must wet themselves laughing. 💦

 

[Pezimak]

Thank you Apple for the pride background. Hope you release special pride editions similar to red phones in the past.

You sure it isn't the classic Apple colours?:

Send later? Finally 🤩

 

[trip1ex]

let me imessage an email

 

[USAJerry]

LOL. Scheduled messages. I already do this...been doing it for a couple of years at least. But hey....so brave. So innovative.

 

[soapropos]

so basically every rumor was spot on

 

[Realityck]

Messages adds tapbacks (emojis or sticker), send messages scheduled later. Text effects added.

 

[!!!]

So what's the point of WWDC if every feature was leaked before?

 

[redheeler]

It is kind of funny that iOS Messages has lacked these features until now. Even Microsoft Teams has custom reactions.

 

[LaterWolf]

Feels very Android.

I bet people who have these phones and watch this event must wet themselves laughing. 💦

these have been in android for a lot of time or very little time, but before Apple

 

[Rogifan]

So if you use a new Tapback what do non-iOS 18 users see?

 

[Realityck]

Adding text messages over satellites. Nice!

 

[Cod3rror]

These live events (I mean expensive YouTube videos), are always thrilling. Brings back memories of the good ol pandemic days.

You should watch presentations from Google, Samsung, and others. You'll gain a new appreciation for Apple.

 

[neander]

You cant rewind the stream in apple tv plus or on Youtube.. bummer, fails to see why

 

[USAJerry]

Feels very Android.

I bet people who have these phones and watch this event must wet themselves laughing. 💦

I am currently on a OnePlus 12 and I concur with you that I am laughing.

 

[LaterWolf]

So what's the point of WWDC if every feature was leaked before?

thats the reality with a big company, but oh you wait for samsung flagship lauches were all specs and design of the phone is leaked before the event is even announced

 

[soapropos]

iOS Mail becomes Gmail

 

[naturalstar]

Oh, I may finally use the Mail app!
