WWDC18 Thread of iOS 12, macOS 10.14, watchOS 5 & tvOS 12. Welcome to a new Era

This is already weird.
"Customer first" but not going to touch the keyboard debacle.
"Free update!" yeah, you really didn't invent the idea of a free software update, and the developers at WWDC still hate you for messing up the economy of upgrade pricing. And given you did used to charge for iOS updates it seems such a weird thing to call out.
"Speeding up older devices" so you're acknowledging that famed Apple optimising and getting the best out of the hardware hasn't been happening for the last few years?

It triggers me less, because it was the shorthand for the watch before the real name was revealed.
But still, no one calls it that.
After living through the betas and 11.0 I'd say the former. 11.4 isn't terrible but still has some unexplainable behavior at time. Ditto with 10.13. I shouldn't be able to start a YouTube video playing in a Chrome window by tapping my space bar to wake up my MBP.
The performance is better across all devices . Where did you get the idea it's confined to old devices. He just used the oldest device to show example
I still get iMessage crashes and other app crashes on 11.4 daily. I'm using an 8 plus.
What is that about?
But yeah, by admitting "speeding up older devices" they basically admit that they fucked up in the past. For me iOS went downhill with iOS 10.
I'll still be saying it until there's an AR hands-free device that people aren't actually embarrassed to use.
Will it improve my iPhoneX? They just mentioned handling on older devices with lower RAM.
I also don't really experience any performance issues imo.
AR is useless without glasses. Using smallish screens as a "window" is not a great experience.
Looks like Notifications might be getting some much needed improvements (bottom center icon). The hourglass thing is probably the new digital health/parental controls stuff. Icon after Siri looks like UI stuff, perhaps dark mode? Other than that doesn't seem so exciting.
It was never paid on iPhone or iPad tbh and even on iPod touch it wasn't enforced if you happened to come by the .IPSW file.
Did you miss the 5 years part of my post?
Apple's playing the long game with AR, as most smart companies are.
There hasn't been a single demo of AR that I've ever seen that makes me interested in the prospect, and it's going to take a lot longer than 5 years of improvements to do anything that I can see myself using on a regular basis.
If it's going to take them an hour and a half to get to macOS then I need to find something to do with al this free time.
