Other WWDC 19' (Aftermath)

Wide opeN said:
Concerning iOS, sign on with Apple was the single best thing I saw.

In retrospect, seems like it should've always been, but will be welcome nonetheless. Even better, that it'll coincide with Face ID... LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, WWDC was much as anticipated a "very" quiet showing for iOS, this let's me know that next year with A14, iOS 14 and iPhone XII!? That 2020 is REALLY GOING TO BE THE YEAR OF iPHONE!!! With all that said, I'm glad I set my expectations accordingly.

What about you guys!?

I absolutely loved Sign in with Apple, THAT as you said is something should have always been there, glad it’s added.

Seems my timing to come to the dark side was good with Apples ever harder focus on containing data leakage, even though I am not a huge security fiend, but it does give piece of mind that you they are paying more attention.

I will say this WWDC has actually helped me restore my faith in Apple overall. Kinda made me remember why I rock with them in the first place. POLISH, SUPPORT, UBIQUITY.

Taking second and third place for favorite iOS features was the update to the photos app and mimoji stickers. Both will be really nice additions.

And as an iPhone Xs Max user OF COURSE I will use Dark Mode. Can anyone confirm if it has a time of sorts like with Reddit for example!?

Don’t forget the new privacy features, you can’t get that with android.

I’m hoping it can be permanently enabled.

Hmmm... I may be one step closer to returning to iPad!
[doublepost=1559594528][/doublepost]Optimized battery charging
A new option helps slow the rate of battery aging by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. iPhone learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it.

Pretty useful!
 
I’m guessing apple simply doesn’t think we need spilt screen on the iPhone they must think it’s only useful on iPads...it’s a shame as that’s the only feature they are missing.

I love what they did with sign in with apple and with photos...looks so much cleaner now.

I can’t think of a time I’ve wished I had it on my phone. Maybe because I’m just a 7+.

I wouldn’t use split screen on an iPhone, not enough room. Pip would be to small to be useful.

iOS 13 has a lot of useful features baked in especially for dual sim users.

I agree on split screen and PIP. There’s just one situation I can think of where I’d personally like it and that is YouTube. There are situations where I’d like to keeping listening to what’s playing without it stopping because I had to leave the app. That’s about it though.

Good catch my friend!!! Dual sim is real as I've been using it since DAY 1 on T-Mobile.

Those two enhancements will be welcomed and much appreciated!!!

Can have it on or have it set to automatic

Excellent find my friend!!! I wonder though what prerequisites "Automatic" is following however!?

FYI: It's at the 34 second mark.

Finally, some signs of life at Apple again. It’s the first WWDC in a long time we intend to sit down and watch again all together as a family, as there’s a little something for everyone in there.

You used to be able to do that.
Google removed that feature from iOS to force users to subscribe.

I believe it’s still available for premium users but i don’t use any of googles services anymore.

I’m really, really happy that we’re getting a swipe keyboard; it’s a feature I’ve wanted for years. (I had Gboard installed for a while on my iPhone for the swipe function, but I deleted it because I was too paranoid for security reasons.) Not too happy that the dark mode is pure black, but at least it isn’t stark white anymore. The only two features I wanted was the ability to place apps anymore (thankfully, though, http://www.makeovr.io/index.html exists) and an in-coming call notification banner instead of the call notification ridiculously taking up the entire screen. Also, I love the Sign In with Apple feature.

I guess I’m pretty happy. Happy enough not to consider an Android for my next phone, though the 7 Pro is tempting.

Yes, it's definitely nice to have swipe on Stock iOS Keyboard. I had to use a third party apps like Swiftkey. But after iOS 13, I'll be deleting that app.

Actually, Dark Mode is quite nice for those who own X/XS/XS Max, as it doesn't use much battery power due to the fact that with OLED, when the background is black, the pixel stays shut off (I know that this isn't possible on XR). Thus a true black background

Yes, I’m aware that a pure black background on OLED screens saves battery life, but pure black backgrounds give me a headache, which is why I prefer dark gray. For me, no headaches >>> more battery life.
