So it may be holding back a little bit more information for further down the line. It has also put more than $1 billion toward original programming, with its first efforts due to launch as soon as March 2019.

At last year’s WWDC, Apple didn’t talk much about its television programming plans either, simply revealing the addition of Amazon Prime Video to its Apple TV app offerings.Īpple has already started toying with original content, with Carpool Karaoke as an example. The news surrounding Apple’s push into original TV content has been mounting, but WWDC 2018 didn't offer any more info. The animated screensaver 'Aerial' is getting upgraded, letting Siri offer locations and info on places of interest from across the globe with a tap of the remote, as well as a high-altitude Earth cam filmed by astronauts stationed on the ISS. Unfortunately, with security and performance taking the lead roles in iOS 12, we may see the company push the more exciting features to iOS 13 (including a rumored paid subscription to a premium version of Apple News) in 2019. Then there were more long-shot features: an always-on display for the iPhone X would be a great way to show off the OLED screen technology, and we had hoped that Apple would offer the ability to change cameras settings directly in the camera app instead of having to dig through one phone settings menu after another. But we didn't see that on stage at WWDC, at least not this year. It's about time Apple takes this chip beyond simply making Apple Pay payments. Maybe next time – the stuff we didn't seeĮxpanded use of NFC chips found inside recent iPhones (iPhone 6S and newer) were rumored to include capabilities to unlock hotel room doors. Animoji, filters and sticker packs can also be used live.
And big kids too.Īlong the bottom of the screen is a scrolling bar of users, letting you choose who takes center stage. You'll also be offered a 'timer', to limit screen time for kids. We're all spending a little too much time on our connected devices, right? Apple thinks so too, so it's expanding its Do Not Disturb features, such as grouped notifications, while you'll get more options for addressing notifications from the lock screen. Could Apple be slowly distancing itself from that iconic 'i' branding? In an interesting development, at least in terms of branding, the iBooks app is now simply 'Books'. Which is a bit better than big-screen stocks. Voice Memos are also coming to iPad, synced automatically over iCloud. Stocks is coming to iPad too, for all that big-screen stock action you've been craving all these years. Two become one here – the Stocks and News apps will now combine, bringing the app your rich uncle loves alongside the one that tries to collate all your favorite news sources into one place. When it knows you're in a cinema it can remind you to put your phone on silent. Siri will also make suggestions from the lock screen, letting you know what's in the vicinity, and will also give you prompts to inform colleagues if it appears you're running late for a meeting.

Such features will be identified with an 'Add to Siri' option within apps, while you can also train the voice assistant to trigger a series of commands with custom commands – for instance, setting up a routine that would both message a spouse and adjust a connected thermostat when you tell Siri you're "heading home".
Apple demonstrated sizing up a suitcase and a photograph for framing. Showing off the benefits of the digital and physical worlds merging was a new app called Measure, letting you use AR to see the size of items just by dragging a finger across them when your camera is pointed at them. iOS 11 problems like the awful-sounding 'black dot' bug were PR for Apple and an unpleasant experience for users.Īugmented reality and Apple's ARKit development platform was also showcased, with Apple teaming up with Pixar to develop a new file format for sharing AR content. On the one hand, iOS 12 sounds less exciting due to its security and performance focus. App loading in general is now twice as fast with iOS 12. Apple says keyboards on the aging iPhone 6S Plus, for example, will fire up 50% faster than previously, with the camera ready to snap 70% faster, showing Apple isn't giving up on older devices. It's set to work with all the same devices that can already handle iOS 11.
