Top 5 Apple WWDC 2016 Recap!

2016-06-13
hey what is up guys I'm Kim PhD here and welcome to this quick recap video of WWDC 2016 Apple's keynote this is the first time I've gotten to go to one those are pretty quiet one this year there were no new hardware announcements but still some interesting stuff so these are five things that were announced just so you know number one is watch a Wes I don't know how many of you still use an Apple watch but it seems like Apple is dedicated to continuing to improve its usability your most frequent apps in a dock that you get from the side button and you also get to swipe up from the bottom like on an iPhone four control center you can also scribble in handwriting to reply to messages if you have no other way to dictate your reply you also get things like a Minnie Mouse watch face an app that reminds you to breathe but what I'm really most excited for is for it to be fast this is literally the demo that they had of opening apps in watch OS 3 versus watch OS 2 and if it's anything like this in real life then this will be the biggest improvement to the Apple watch in a while we're going to look at an app called one football we're going to launch it from the complication on the bottom left we're going to see how long it takes so here we are launching the app takes a few seconds to launch and then once it launches it load some data and it updates there we go now we're going to take a look at one football launching and watch os3 are you guys ready okay don't blink that's it number two is TV OS nothing terribly exciting here but mostly just extending the iOS experience to the living room with more and better apps for the Apple TV there's apparently something like 6,000 native apps for Apple TV now which is a plus and they're also going to have a dedicated iPhone Siri remote app which will function the exact same way as the actual remote did so you can control your Apple TV from your iPhone so number three is Mac OS a couple of bigger changes here number one obviously being the name it's no longer OS 10 it's just Mac OS Sierra and its main focus was a bunch of continuity features actually and we saw these in the beginnings of the last version of the OS and it was looking really useful so the first of which was called Auto unlock which is the ability to unlock your password-protected Mac with a trusted device like your Apple watch so if you go to unlock your Mac and you're wearing your Apple watch it won't ask you for your password because it knows it's you and it won't prompt you it'll just log you right in and there's other things like keeping all the files that you have on one Mac synced across all your computers including your iPhone and your iPad so you can have access to any of your files from anywhere but my favorite was actually something called universal clipboard which will allow you to copy and paste things across any device that has continuity so you can copy something on your Mac and paste it on your iPhone or copy something on one computer and paste it on your iPad super useful there also be an update to Apple pay that will allow you to pay for things with your Mac not like this but by actually using your iPhone to authenticate the purchase so it's just kind of like a new purchase method it's like a PayPal account or an Amazon account it's a new way to pay for things online just by having your iPhone right there next to you so that's some pretty cool stuff with Mac OS Sierra there's all that and then cabs unlimited tabs they actually built tabs into the OS so any app not just finder in Safari but any app can have unlimited tabs now so number four is iOS we got a couple of new features in iOS as well we got our first look at is ten and some of these are going to sound pretty familiar first of all you can get rid of stock apps that you never use in the new iOS so news tips weather whatever it is if you don't use it you don't need a folder just for Apple crap anymore you can actually get rid of them in iOS 10 this has never even actually said on stage but I just figured you might like to know that there's also raised to wake which does exactly what it sounds like it will light up your whole screen and show you all your notifications just whenever you lift up your phone and look at and the notifications themselves on the lock screen are actually greatly improved so first of all you do get a clear all notifications button on your lock screen nice and you can also now 3d touch a notification to expand on your lock screen and show more info and they call these widgets this looks pretty cool for certain apps that are like showing you a lot of information in the notifications and you can also now 3d touch certain app icons on your home screen to again get you guessed it widgets not just shortcuts I don't know about you but I kind of stopped using 3d touch on my iPhone as much as it was touted as a key feature my iPhone 6s I just stopped using it but I guess with iOS 10 and these new notification features and home screen widgets will be given another shot there are some other features like an apple news complete redesign and Apple music complete redesign and a new app called home as a hub for all your home kit enabled devices and then of course the emojis all of the emojis the emoji ofin of messaging if you will when you switch to the emoji keyboard Apple is literally going to give you suggestions for replacing words in your sentence with emojis just to add emojis to them plus they'll be three times bigger anyway if you guys want to see all about iOS 10 and new features I'll link to Jon's new video John from Tod dropped a video of way more new features in iOS 10 that you should check out worth a click moving up so number five last but not least is Siri so she's first of all now on the Mac so she's got her own little icon she's right in the dock and Sirius also now opened up to developers so you can use Siri to send messages in whatsapp or slack or just have Siri talk to other third-party apps and that was actually part of a larger thread for the event is them opening up a couple other things like Apple maps and other technologies to developers to plug into third-party apps which is good I like that good job Apple but all the time they spent on Siri actually really highlighted a bigger overall trend in tech which is the improvement of machine learning the focus on machine learning and it's like it's a big dynamic topic but an example of this was the new Photos app in iOS 10 will use machine learning to identify subjects in your iPhones photos and then the gallery app will allow you to search those photos for things that it's identified like people or mountains or animals that's something that Google is just showing us at Google i/o and that's what the Google Photos app has been doing even on iPhones already for a while now and so Google Photos it knows what I take pictures of it knows the people it knows the names and notice of places and then it turns that around with machine learning to make that useful to me but that's machine learning and so is the new Apple maps giving you suggestions for places to go based on where you've been often or where you've traveled before so that's also something Google's been doing in Google Maps for a while so all this stuff has been brought to a focus and I like that they're both using all the information that they get from their users to make it useful for us but just an overall highlight of a bigger trend I've note so this whole event of Apple basically playing catch-up in software kind of highlights the fact that they are a hardware company first and that just makes their future events for stuff like the MacBook Pro or the new MacBooks or the new iphone iphone7 later this year that much more exciting to wait for either way that's pretty much it thanks for watching again feel free to check out John's video on iOS by clicking up there or right below that like button I'll talk to you guys the next video peace
