Those are the highlights from this year’s WWDC keynote. The new workouts are supported by custom heart-rate and motion algorithms to provide accurate metrics, according to Apple.

Apple’s privacy advocacy work continues (which I really appreciate) and the whole ecosystem is developing in a meaningful way.7. Overall nice iterative improvements on many fronts. Also for my fellow IT pros, follow the WWDC site ( ) for in depth sessions on the latest management features coming later this week. The new operating systems are out as public betas on July, so great time to test out compatibility with your apps and IT during the summer. I’m guessing you would still need a Mac :) Xcloud Cloud is a new feature to move app building and testing to the cloud. Looks like this time they are showcasing the tech (including APIs) in their own software and solutions. This year Apple went without having 3rd party app developers on stage. Still a great browser, although nowadays using Edge for lot work related tasks.Īutomator (RIP!) is going to be replaced by Shortcuts (known from iOS), which enables power users (well, anyone) to create workflows, automating commonly used actions.

IOS Health bringing bunch of new health insights and features to share data with professionals and own family. I like this, ad companies probably won’t :) Newly introduced iCloud+ paid storage (free upgrade of you have existing paid tier) brings bunch of more privacy features such as private relay of web traffic. iPad still my number 1 productivity device, so can’t complain on the small things coming here.Īpple continues their work on user privacy by releasing some new privacy controls in Mail and Safari to fight user tracking etc. IPadOS getting some nice iterative improvements to menus and multitasking. Overall Apple is doing good work with integrating HW & SW to bring new value. Been using Apple Pay since introduced, so really happy to see more applications.Īdding retrospectively Find my -support for AirPods Pro & Max + bunch of other usability features for previously released headphones. Also possible to store (probably US) ID and drivings license. Wallet: adding functionality to store keys for cars, home & hotel rooms.
