No hardware announcements other than a pride band for the Apple Watch, but the software they shared was interesting enough.
Here's some highlights (there were more things but I didn't find them too interesting):
- iOS 12 is a lot faster than iOS 11
- New app cauled "measure" that uses your camera to measure things. Not sure if I could even describe it right, but it's a pretty good use of technology there.
- FaceTime groupchat with up to 32 participants. I don't use facetime so it doesn't really matter to me, but that many people in a video chat is pretty absurd.
- Animoji can now detect your tongue!
- Animoji now has Memoji, which is a personalized avatar.
- WatchOS 5 has a walkie talkie mode to communicate between watches. Pretty neat; not sure if I get an Apple watch if I'll even know anyone with one though LOL
- tvOS 12 will detect your cable provider based on internet connection and give you the channels you deserve automatically. I had a samsung tv that kind of did this with its Verizon app, it was really cool but their deal with Verizon fell through only a month or two into me having the TV. Glad to see this concept is still around. Apple TV is a much better purchase than a cable box
- macOS 10.14 has a dark mode!
- iOS apps are going to be much easier to port to macOS; pretty big news for software for macOS. Reminds me of android apps running on select chromebooks, though this seems more sophisticated
""We choose to go to the [Suggestions board] not because it's easy, but because it's hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
