Wow I’m only learning now there are watch parties and community meetups all across the world during WWDC. Pretty cool!

 
"biggest and most exciting WWDC23 to date" - wouldn't it be the only WWDC23?
I take it that you don't time travel?
It won’t be the biggest most exciting, it’s all because of the headset but iOS 17 isn’t gonna be that big at all and that’s not exciting lol
I am hoping that Swift will be that exciting. Remember, this is for developers, not consumers.
Agreed! It will be the same as last year. The only difference will be a new "Good Moarningggg from Tim Cook in 2023".

I can't believe he was standing that close to the Apple pit of doom!
I mean, I have had reduced motion turned ON for like 10 years because those fade in and fade out effects when you switch or close out of apps makes me go 😵‍💫🤢 so yes 😅
Please remind me not to take you for a ride along when I am drifting corners at 100MPH. If I do, please remind me to book a detail immediately after the drive. (There are mobile services that you can book to sit and wait for a gastrosplode. "He's gonna pop!")
🤞 Waiting for the sideloading support (and true Firefox support) 🤞
Firefox would be fantastic. If they allow sidloading, they should allow developers to block customers from loading their apps on a device that has sideloading turned on. Beyond that, it should automatically erase any apps that have that flag set, BEFORE sideloading is activated.
Also something I’m just seeing, this animation on the WWDC page. Lens/glass clue?

Please tell me the crashing bird does not represent my future Apple stock.

So what you're saying is you can sideload and have a fun device or you can not sideload and have a phone.

If they allowed blocking I can already see any phone with work stuff or banking will be blocked from sideloading alltogether. It will be more fun in that companies will want to sideload their apps but prevent you from sideloading anything yourself. Talking from a MAM BYOD standpoint.

My company went full MAM BYOD which is I think is perfect as it is now. I carry my one phone and work apps are in a sandbox with no control of my personal device. Sideloading I think throws the whole model out the window. Well what if a sideloaded app breaks the sandbox no more MAM. Realistic or not it's going to cause problems. Compaines will knee jerk on this whole thing.

It took me several years meeting with execs/security at my company to implement MAM over MDM on personal devices. I don't want to start that discussion again. I'm not joking they were going to deploy a newer MDM solution and I had to do massive amounts of presentations and explaining how modern companies use MAM and all the benefits. I think more than anything it was the reduction of liability that won the debate. People also refused to do BYOD because the company could literally watch you 24/7 on a map and see everything. The company didn't want to issue business phones anymore but people were completely against spyware on their devices. MAM was the best solution. Sandbox work stuff that auto deletes if a person terms. Nothing can leave the work apps (which can be annoying).

Really interested to see how this plays out.

Reactions: the future
Honest question — what is "true Firefox support"? The Gecko rendering engine? How will websites look/behave differently when all browser engines already aim to achieve the same standards support?
Gecko engine for *Firefox addons* like uBlock. Which are not possible through current webkit API Apple offers to devs.

😂😂 That's a good one. They should allow developers to disable your alarm clock too. Hell, maybe they should even allow them to disable your television if you do not subscribe to the Apple TV.

Some people just like to live in a cage full of restrictions - just so they don't harm themselves I guess.
