  Using cross-app drag and drop on iPhone in iOS 15. Finally 🎉 #WWDC21 https://twitter.com/...

  This is HUGE: looks like APIs for developers to offer refunds and subscription cancellations. https://twitter.com/...

  Apple Maps will now have a globe to play with. https://twitter.com/...

  FaceTime for Web 😮 #WWDC21 https://twitter.com/...

• @benedictevans Benedict Evans on x

  Apple is killing email newsletter metrics. Yes privacy, but there are (as ever) pretty real entirely non-privacy business needs there as well.

  👀 “Apple's announcements on Monday proved you don't need Facebook for a lot of the stuff you already do on FB. Why log into FB or Instagram & give up personal data when you can just as easily share photos, messages, and videos right there in iOS 15?” https://www.cnbc.com/...

  Copying code from pictures of slides? No problem with iOS 15 😅 https://twitter.com/...

  This is a great recap of the announcements from #WWDC21 but I can't figure out which of these are actual developer announcements (i.e. potential new features for apps) versus Apple using this event to announce new end user features to tech media. Do devs still matter to Apple? ht…

  Apple Maps' 3D redesign that looks better than most SimCity games, with gorgeous new full color landmark icons. https://twitter.com/...

  iOS 15: Oh thank jesus, we can select text again. https://twitter.com/...

  @MKBHD Apple does something, Android fanboys complain and then embrace it when it comes to Android. At least stand your ground.

• @joshsisley Josh Sisley on x

  I think Apple Maps went a little too intense for New Mexico.... #WWDC21 https://twitter.com/...

• @ohmdee @ohmdee on x

  “Great - new iMessage features! Oh wait, it's still not compatible with Android or web? Go Apple for privacy - more reason to use Facebook apps because there is no popular alternative to compete Apple.” Privacy - but only if your entire social circle comprises Apple users! https:…

• @patrickmoorhead Patrick Moorhead on x

  Apple Maps has improved considerably, but whenever anyone I know gets lost, I ask them which Maps they use. 90% of the time its Apple Maps. It does look great, though. #WWDC2021

• @ohlookitsjake ItsJake on x

  @RealJoseph123 @MKBHD I will admit Android gets most features first, but Apple ensures they work right the first time

• @yo Troy Osinoff on x

  Apple vs Marketers 🤺 iOS 14 = attacking Facebook ads (allowed users to opt-out of being tracked) iOS 15 = attacking email marketing (will allow people to hide their real email address) iOS 16 = ???

  still using google maps https://techcrunch.com/...

• @tomcoates Tom Coates on x

  This is legitimately really impressive. I've been saying for a few years that I thought the future of maps and geo visualization was likely to go 3D, but this is sort of the first major product I've noticed using it. https://twitter.com/...

  The iOS 15 improvements for FaceTime and iMessage are fantastic

• @stroughtonsmith Steve Troughton-Smith on x

  I love the rounded, cartoony style Apple is using for all its new Apple Maps stuff in iOS 15. Everything feels soft and friendly https://twitter.com/...

  This will greatly cut down on the theft of iPhones, and their value on the black market. No thief wants to be tracked! https://twitter.com/...

  “It seems that with iOS 15, the phone is not really fully ‘powered off’, it stays in a low-power state and acts like an AirTag, allowing any nearby iOS device to pick up the Bluetooth signal and send back its location.” https://twitter.com/...

  Now they're on to privacy. “At Apple, we believe privacy outside mainland China is a fundamental human right.”

• @quinnypig Corey Quinn on x

  Having played around with Charles Proxy to see what's talking to what, I can state with a certainty that Amazon's iOS app team is about to have its shit rocked. That thing eats bandwidth like it's free. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

• @tim_cook Tim Cook on x

  Today we introduced new privacy protections to help users have more transparency and control over what happens with their information. https://www.apple.com/...

• @eric_seufert Eric Seufert on x

  4/ Note that Apple, in its news release about WWDC privacy announcements, refers to ITP functionality that seems to function similarly to what it announced for its paid iCloud+ Private Relay feature. Its unclear to me how these implementations differ https://www.apple.com/...

• @astaniscia86 Giulio S. on x

  So Apple continues to allow fingerprinting... In an email seen by the Financial Times, one vendor told its clients it had managed to continue collecting data on more than 95% of its iOS users by gathering device and network information https://www.ft.com/...

• @manuelmaly Manuel Maly on x

  My grandfather died from falling (not directly, but resulting complications). Walking steadiness is _huge_ for elderly people

• @gigastacey Stacey Higginbotham on x

  Apple's Walking Steadiness metric is similar to Amazon's Movement and Health metric. Will we get peer-reviewed studies of these algorithms for clinical accuracy? Otherwise, this is more digital snake oil.

• @balsalobrephd Carlos Balsalobre on x

  🆕Apple has just announced a walking steadiness algorithm to assess the risk of falling by putting your iPhone in your pocket. They are conducting the largest study in the topic with 100.000 participants. The future of health is mobile! ❤️📲https:// www.apple.com/...

• @ishanagarwal24 Ishan Agarwal on x

  So now my iPhone will judge how I walk 😒 #WWDC21

• @neilcybart Neil Cybart on x

  Walking Steadiness Apple will let you know if you are at a higher risk of falling while walking at some point over the next 12 months. Incredible stuff here.

  Look who woke up to the existence of the web now. https://twitter.com/...

• @alexeheath Alex Heath on x

  Apple opening up FaceTime to Android users for the first time is a very intentional, strategic decision. Seems designed to further hurt Facebook, which operates the most used video calling apps globally https://www.theverge.com/...

  Proper Find My support for AirPods, nice #WWDC21

• @dmoren Dan Moren on x

  Separation alert for AirPods! That's cool. I'd like to see it for other devices. #WWDC2021

• @scobleizer Scoble on x

  Holy shit. iOS 15 just made my $550 Apple headphones WAY WAY WAY better when playing Apple Music TV. Spatial Audio on the new OS, coming this fall, is sick. What is really sick is the biggest quality boost is still to come in 2022. Apple will own the human experience.

• @joshgnosis Josh Taylor on x

  I think I am most interested in the airpods improvements (I am always losing them at home). Plus conversation boost sounds interesting (but having convos with your airpods in still seems odd). https://www.theverge.com/...

• @joannastern Joanna Stern on x

  OK, Find My coming to AirPods. I'm good. https://twitter.com/...

• @neilcybart Neil Cybart on x

  Conversation Boost for AirPods = focuses your AirPods Pro on the person talking in front of you to make it easier to hear them. Augmented hearing.

• @scobleizer Scoble on x

  A small step toward better experiences. The keynote sounded amazing in Spatial Audio in my Airpods Max. Christmas will be fun this year and next. https://twitter.com/...

• @lukemiani Luke Miani on x

  iOS 15 *STILL* supports iPhone 6S 🤯 Super impressive

• @snazzyq Quinn Nelson on x

  Fun fact: iOS 15 will run on every device that runs iOS 14. Yes, your 6-year-old iPhone 6S will be getting the latest version of iOS. Extraordinarily cool and yet another reason buying an iPhone is actually a great value.

  “Apple will no longer send Siri requests to its servers... The new feature comes two years after (it was) revealed that Apple staff regularly heard confidential details while carrying out quality control for the feature.” https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

  Apple is adding identity cards to Apple Wallet with #iOS15. Your ID will be encrypted, and Apple says TSA is working to enable checkpoints as the first place where you'll be able to show your digital ID. #WWDC21 https://twitter.com/...

  COVID-19 Vaccination record in Apple Wallet :) https://twitter.com/...

• @pinboard @pinboard on x

  Oh, hey, an Apple event! Looks like Apple Wallet is adding the ability to unlock doors and hold your government ID, realizing my dream of only having to lose a single device to lock myself out of my hotel, home, and office and put myself on a no fly list.

  Is this the end of physical wallets? https://www.macrumors.com/...

  Better late than never: Apple today announced that some users will be able to add their driver's license or state IDs to the Wallet app. https://www.macrumors.com/...

• @somegadgetguy Juan Carlos Bagnell on x

  Adding an ID to your phone is tech cool, but it's IMPERATIVE we sort out issues w/ biometric security, digital privacy, and law enforcement. If a LEO asks for your info, and you unlock your phone to give it to them, what else will they be allowed to see? https://www.macrumors.com…

  App Store A/B testing is HUGE.

• @davidtroup David Troup on x

  Glad someone else felt this way. It's akin to Visa saying they paid out billions to business owners. No, the customers paid. The middle man (bank, CC, Apple, etc) took their cut and the business owner (developer) received the proceeds $ sale minus their fees. https://twitter.com/…

• @snazzyq Quinn Nelson on x

  Instead of “Apple has paid out over $230 billion to app developers,” it's more like “app developers have paid out more than $69 billion to Apple.” https://twitter.com/...
