WWDC 2019: The 8-Minute Keynote

What's going on everybody

Ian here for Cultive Mac and Apple just finished wrapping up their 2019 WWDC main keynote and

there were tons of announcements for all of their software platforms TVOS iOS iOS iOS

and even a new hardware announcement that we're really looking forward to

So here's everything Apple announced. The TVOS segment started pretty quickly and jumped right into the Apple T-V-O-S

app, which this coming fall will see the addition of user profiles

In the TV section, they also discussed the new lyrics feature within Apple Music

They also briefly touched on Apple Arcade and talked about the new introduction of support

for the Xbox 1S controller and the PlayStation 4 Dual Shock 4 controller

Next up in the keynote was watchOS with the addition of new watch faces

From there, they jumped into the Taptic Chimes. The big feature for watchOS was in the apps

They're finally adding a standalone apps store. They're also adding the ability for your Apple Watch to do standalone up

updates, meaning you don't need to use your iPhone to do updates on your Apple Watch. Apple's also moving a couple of their own apps to the Apple Watch, including audiobooks, the

voice memos app, the calculator, and then, as I said, the App Store. There are also some new health features coming to WatchOS, including a new noise detection

app, and a new cycles app for tracking women's menstrual cycles. The health app on the iPhone is also going to see some changes based on these new Apple Watch features

On iOS, we saw the introduction of iOS 13, with its main headlining feature being the

addition of dark mode. Apple also highlighted the new swipe keyboard, which they're calling QuickPath, as well as a restyled share sheet, which they didn't go into any details about, but they did have in a few screenshots

Safari saw some new text sizing options. Mail has improved formatting options, and the Notes app saw some minor UI changes

The Reminders app in iOS is also getting redesigned with support for nested tasks as well as some quick suggestions for location or people reminders The Maps app is also seeing an update There also some new location privacy settings Also on the topic of privacy is the new sign feature HomeKit also saw some updates with the new HomeKit security camera

Apple's also kind of getting back into the home networking game with HomeKit-enabled routers

Messages on iOS also saw an update with profile names and photos now being able to be set

on a per-user basis. There's also new Memoji options, including Memoji stickers

Can also use your Memoji, just like you could regular emoji on other devices, as well as

other third-party apps, not just in messages. There are a couple new portrait mode features in iOS

One is a new high key filter, and the other is the ability to adjust the intensity of light

in a portrait mode photo. There's also a new look and feel to the editing of images on iOS, as well as those same editing

features coming to video, allowing you to rotate a video or apply a handful of different effects

There's also a new photos app on iOS with better filtering and refined views of days, weeks

months, years to see photos from different locations or photos that are important

based on time, as well as a bunch of new filtering options to remove things like screenshots

or pictures of documents from your photos library, so you only see the things that are most important

given the context that you're in. There's also a bunch of new Siri-related features coming to iOS

and iOS 13. With your AirPods, Siri can now read you your messages and allow you to respond

instantly without having to speak to the assistant to start that dialogue. Additionally, you can also

now share your audio from your iOS device to another iOS device so you and a friend or

everyone can listen to something together. The HomePod is also getting some new features. Chief among them is handoff support, allowing you to bring your iPhone near your home pod

and audio from your phone will now jump over to your HomePod. The HomePod is also getting live radio from IHeart Radio, Tuna Radio, and more

with 100,000 plus stations at launch. The HomePod is also getting person detection, allowing you or a loved one to talk to the

home pod and get different results based on who's talking to it. CarPlay is also getting a redesign with support for some third apps a new UI for side as well as some serious suggestions for proactive things like opening your garage door when you near home Siri on iOS is also seeing some new changes with the shortcuts app now being built into the

system and a new retuned voice for more natural, more authentic sounding speech from Siri

While still kind of on the iOS train, we'll also talk about iPadOS, the new variant of iOS

specifically for the iPad. PatOS comes with a bunch of new features, things like three-finger gestures for copying

cutting and pasting, as well as a new redesigned home screen with more compact icons and the

ability to pull your widgets in on your main home screen. There's a bunch of new features with

multitasking allowing you to run multiple instances of the same app across different app pairings

or even side by side with itself. The slideover UI is also changing, allowing you to see a whole

app switcher of apps that are running in slideover. Safari on the iPad's also seeing a huge upgrade

with support for a new download manager as well as desktop class browsing

so it's forcing websites to present the desktop mode, as well as a whole bunch of new keyboard shortcuts

There's also a handful of new gestures here and there in the system, and some new Apple Pencil features for the iPad pros

The Files app is also seeing some changes on the iPad. There's a new column view, showing you your directory hierarchy

There's a new Quick Action feature, much like MacOS, which gives you access to some really common tasks you might do with a certain type of file

There's also ICloud Drive folder sharing finally coming to ICloud, allowing you and someone else to share contents of a folder

and have them sync between your two iCloud accounts. And the big feature of files is support for external storage devices

like flash drives or external hard drives. At this point in the keynote, Apple decided to show off some hardware

and showed us the new Mac Pro. It looks like the cheese grater Mac reimagined for 2019

I'm not going to all the specs and all the details. Just note the new Mac Pro starts at $5,999

And the new Pro Display XDR starts at $4,999. with a couple hundred dollars in add to give it a stand or a mount on a visa arm From there Apple jumped into MacOS and talked about the iTunes breakup There a new music app there a new podcast app and there a new TV app

Apple also showed off Sidecar, which is a new feature that allows you to push the display of your Mac

over to an iPad as a secondary display. Now, Sidecar can also work with a bunch of third-party apps that support pencil input

along you to use your Apple Pencil as an additional touch input device

in art and other creative apps. Apple also took a moment to discuss accessibility

with the new voice control feature for both iOS and MacOS, which allows users who need that accessibility feature

to completely control their Mac or their iPhone or their iPad entirely with their voice

Apple also showed off and talked about the new Find My app, which is the blending of Find My Friends and Find My iPhone

Apple also showed off screen time for the Mac, which blends right in with your iOS screen time

Apple also discussed Project Catalyst, which is what they're calling marzipan. The idea is that developers can take advantage of this

by simply checking a box inside of Xcode and allowing their apps to ship on the Mac and show up in the Mac App Store

The end of the key don't Apple talked about Swift and their new Swift UI framework

which allows developers to create UI quickly and easily with just a few lines of code

The developer betas of iPad OS, iOS 13, and MacOS Catalina are available today with the public betas coming in July
