What was your favourite announcement from Apple's WWDC?

Question

Hello friends 👋

I loved WWDC Keynote and for me, the best new feature was LiveText for iOS 15, where you can identify text from your photos. Also, the macOS update was unbelievable - Universal Control 😏

What did you love most?

P.S.: It's so exciting to see how Apple is developing its product line across all the categories and getting more and more user needs covered.

I mean, you can now develop apps with Swift on an iPad....THAT BLOWS MY MIND!!!

Also, with new Privacy Protection :) What will happen with SendGrid and Mailchimp now?

@vaibhav_khulbe that's actually very cool because it reduce the barriers for starting with iOS development.

Macbook can be not affordable for many people while, while iPad is an easy entrance point (even to start leaning SwiftUI).

@lisadziuba I missed this. For me it all started with this podcast episode last summer https://open.spotify.com/episode/3OfyQteYfr4kbvjgNRnfD4?si=4a0a5f7f22ed4247 write me a mail if this got you excited and we exchange more resources, benjamin.libor@gmail.com There's great studies, decks, papers...some folks do the effort and screenshot whole products before manually translating buttons and other UI elements to get a feeling etc.

Excited about Apple Wallet, I like the digital id concept hopefully it becomes global soon.

Safari tab groups is something that I found really interesting. I was using that feature on Microsoft bing but I guess Apple has tick-marked that too.
Focus feature is also a good addition for personalizing what apps or services to block depending on different timelines of your day!

In a nutshell, from the developer's and privacy end, these updates are good enough for iOS 15.

@adiatlov macOS update impressed me more!

I think, macOS 12 Monterey is a huge step forward, both for tech folks (designers, developers, product managers) and average users.

Using Universal Control and drag & drop will make workflow much faster, especial when you deal with many files or work on several screens. And Xcode Cloud CI/CD + TestFlight will speed up the whole macOS development.

Apple Maps AR navigation is awesome as well, they look like Game of Thrones visuals
