So far so good. I like all this FaceTime stuff.

Did not see web-based FaceTime for Android/Windows coming.

The other FaceTime improvements are pretty neat too. They pretty clearly put a lot of effort into it this year. Can’t imagine why. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’ll probably get a lot of mileage out of screen sharing doing tech support for my parents.

Okay, the SharePlay stuff seems pretty slick. I wonder how many other companies will actually implement the API.

The Live Text photo text recognition/selection stuff looks pretty cool.

They are cramming in a lot of good stuff right off the bat.

Seems like we’re finally seeing the results of the Dark Sky acquisition.

As a geographer and transportation planner I’m geeking out a bit about the Maps improvements. I can’t help but think about what they could do with AR glasses.

So happy to see spatial audio for AppleTV!

iPad multitasking, third time’s the charm?

Shelf! (though it’s totally different than what Federico was asking for a couple years ago)

Really hoping they add some good magic keyboard multitasking controls too.

I hope it works as well easily as it looks.

Multitasking keyboard shortcuts!

The new multitasking UI also looks like it’ll be more trackpad/mouse friendly.

I’m liking the quicknote feature.

This quick note feature makes me suspect we might get system wide reminder input too.

This is basically Tot for iPadOS.

Quick note to Drafts would be great!

Interesting how many of these features are available on macOS too. I wonder how many of them are SwiftUI based.

Speaking of, the ability to write SwiftUI apps on iPad is a pretty big deal. We’ll have to see how capable it is compared to Xcode.

Private Relay is interesting too. People have been proposing Apple offer a VPN service for quite a while now.

I was thinking the same thing about Drafts.

TextSniper looks like it’s been sherlocked.
