tvOS has been so chronically under hyped for years. It’s always been super interesting but feels like a side project and a missed opportunity

Oh these are really interesting ideas for control center actually. Especially control resizing is very interesting. I kind of wondered about a “scrubbing” behavior for making the indicator area responsive

Dark mode icons is cool. Tinted icons look hella ugly though. I don’t think this is nearly as well considered as Material You for example

I’m still not really interested in visionOS. It just feels like the opposite of what I want from computers and especially wearables. It’s too front and center and I value more computers playing a supporting role. I want off-field computers not DPS computers

Omg it feels like they’re going through these slides so fast

Filtering out screenshots in Photos is dope. I pretty much never use any views besides the grid. I never end up making albums or anything like that so it’s cool to surface more automatically generated groups of photos

Apple Maps has been better than Google Maps for a long time now. Don’t @ me lol

Oh wow big redesign for mail. Isn’t this like Google Inbox or whatever that was called? I like this in theory

Omg why do they have a stupid name for reactions. I’m never going to call them “tap backs”

Adding a playing song directly from the video player is awesome haha. I love that

Oh woah nodding to answer Siri is like such an obvious thing that I’ve never thought about. I wonder how that will work if I’m doing a workout though?

haha RCS mention. Nice for more compatibility with our green bubble friends

Oh man can’t wait to get vitals notifications and find out more about how busted my shitty body is

Oh sick, pausing for activity streaks is great. Thank you Apple haha. Honestly best fitness+ feature 😂 maybe will prevent me from falling off again

Damnnn tvOS updates were so shallow though. It’s like they only paid one person to work on the whole thing

Math notes seems really interesting for visualizing problems and for education settings. I’m not sure if its something I would use often, but it seems interesting

Hrmmm I dunno about this Tabbar/sidebar thing tbh

Check ins are so cool. I definitely get the feeling that Apple has women in positions of power in the Apple Watch and Health teams

Is Apple Watch the best Apple platform in 2024?

I’m not sure I totally understand this iPhone mirroring feature. Is this for like when you don’t have the same apps installed on your Mac? I thought they were doing a whole cross-platform apps push?

I feel like Smart Script is definitely a great example of how Apple views machine learning. Anyone else would have said “AI” like 5 times describing this feature
