Did you watch today's WWDC? (If not click here.) Did you notice... - The Apple Watch is getting stand alone (no iphone required) Apple and third party apps including its own App Store? (NOTE: I sometimes leave my iPhone at home because the Watch already handles the most used featrues without iPhone support.)
- "Files" isn't a full fledged Finder yet, but it is taking a big step in that direction?
- iPadOS is a dedicated branch of the iOS tree?
- Dark mode is coming to iOS/iPadOS?
- Mouse support included in iPadOS
- Siri is not ony becoming a better speaker, but also a better listener up toand including complete voice control of Catalina? (and iOS/iPadOS?)
- Macs, iPads, and iPhones are merging into a single integrated work environment each capitalizing on the strength of the other.
- With changes in Swift and the advent of SwiftUI development environments iOS apps are a few hours work away from becoming Catalina apps?
- In Catalina (MacOS 10.13) iTunes becomes a near clone of iOS's Music app (see the previous bullet)?
- You can get a bottom of the line Mac Pro complete with the new 32" monitor for under $10K?
- There were several notable security enhancements including…
- Apple passwords and IDs in lieu of Facebook, Google, and Twitter IDs and Passwords for logging onto third party sites
- More data being crunched on the local device rather than passed to a server for interpretaation
- Video Cam handling with any data going to iCloud being encrypted and not counting against iCloud Drive data limits
