Intelligently Apple
Different but delivering…
Entering into WWDC I wasn’t certain of what to expect, I mean much was promised. What we got wasn’t what I was expecting, but I think Apple has delivered and in a very Apple’esque way.
They hit the ground running and didn’t stop to draw breath and as is becoming a habit now the entire WWDC keynote was shot on iPhone — as casual flex!
Being Apple
Yeah, we all know that WWDC is all about the new OS but oddly they were not the star of this year’s show — they saved the best for last, and that’s what I want to chat over today.
Just briefly though — a couple of OS highlights that I felt were worth a mention…
Messages via Satellite — nobody seems to be chatting about that but it’s huge. It was only last year that Emergency SOS via Satellite was launched. It was clever ok but of limited use and only a few characters could be typed for use in a genuine emergency.
Now though, if you are off wifi or cellular connectivity you can carry on as normal — even using tapbacks and emoji — and the messages are even encrypted. If I’ve understood this correctly, we should never be without service again!
The changes to Control Centre, Home Screen and Lock Screen look like they’ve been well thought through…
