Honestly, a lot of the upcoming features coming to all the #Apple OSes like #iOS, #macOS, #iPadOS, #watchOS, etc. looks pretty exciting. The only thing that gives me the ick is the new "Liquid Glass" design that looks more like the Apple clones; #Huawei or #Vivo rather than Apple themselves - that being said, the recent few iOS updates have trained me into 'accepting' that Apple's becoming more and more like #Android (in a bad way) lol.
#AppleMusic's gotten some really nice updates that is making me question a lil bit more if I should stay with #Spotify, but maybe not enough to actually make the switch - #Karaoke heads would prolly go insane over the new update, allowing you to karaoke on your #AppleTV with your #iPhone pretty freaking seamlessly with Apple Music's huge library.
My only highlight for iOS is probably the incredibly minimal reduction in the enshittifaction of the Photos app that was introduced from iOS 18. Oh, I suppose there's call screening I've always wished for from Android - that's coming. The introduction of Live Activity and iPhone Mirroring combo on #macOS looks prettty sweet, allowing you to monitor your live activity progresses (i.e. deliveries) right from the menu bar, and interact with it on the iPhone, from your #Mac.
The biggest new thing announced in this #WWDC has to be the new additions to iPadOS including their new Windowing system - idc so much abt this, or abt making #iPad s more like Macs, but I know a lot of people do. iPads getting a menu bar is pretty sick tho. You could also now set the default app to open certain file types, like you typically could on a regular Mac/desktop.
One interesting thing tho is Apple now (seemingly, anyway) allowing for Background Tasks on iPads - pretty sure this is the common 'blocker' for things like #KDEConnect to work (almost) as seamlessly as Apple's own offerings like #AirDrop. I hope that is indeed the case, and I hope it'd make Apple less paranoid of allowing such a feature and lead it to eventually coming to iOS sooner than later.
