WWDC 2022: What was Announced

[Alli]

Holy shit! Continuity camera.

 

[Cmaier]

Desk view is crazy

 

[SuperMatt]

Thanks to desk view, I guess I have to wear pants on video conferences now…

 

[Alli]

DeskView!

 

[DT]

iPhone as web cam with all the fancy camera tech, this is very clever.

Yes.

Please.

 

[SuperMatt]

Bring on the iPad software!

 

[DT]

DeskView!

I was hoping for lap view …

Desk view is crazy

Wondering if we have to use a Mac display for this, or can I use it with my 3rd party monitor?

No talk of Music app

 

[JayMysteri0]

FINALLY!!!

Then he over acts running.

don't think it depends on monitor at all

I love how Craig never takes himself seriously.

Apple has always taken security and privacy seriously.

True, but I’m just thinking that WebAuthn has been coming since 2016.

Wow! Village on the Mac.

I didn't play it on my PS5, I may do it just because here.

The other place keeps complaining that Apple needs to invest in gaming.

And here they are providing two key changes to Metal: one to make it easier to support consistent framerates on retina displays, and another to add a rather useful bit of functionality now that Apple is building their own SoCs that means anything M1/M2 based will have something akin to the PS5’s direct loading, or MS’ DirectStorage functionality.

Sure, no ray tracing, but these are both rather important changes, IMO.

 

[SuperMatt]

A weather app…

FINALLY

 

[Cmaier]

iPad Weather!

 

[Eric]

That was my guess, so I assume that clip is just a mount and it communicates with the Mac directly with or without a monitor.

 

[JayMysteri0]

About friggin' time with Weather.

It made no sense that iPhones got an interactive app, but iPad got you an app that sent you to Weather.com.

Got cut off midstream. Idiot from Spectrum was fishing a cable under our driveway for Internet service and cut my AT&T fiber. Asked him if they checked before digging. He said their surveyor didn’t show, so he went ahead anyway.

Fortunately, AT&T will have someone out here later today to replace the cable. I know people often complain about them, but this is good service.

Hey @TBL - look, more sharing!
