7/24/2023 0 Comments Wwdc september 2018This is easily the best feature Apple has added to macOS in the last few years. This is the perfect example of how the Apple that listens to user feedback and works with 3rd party developers is the best Apple for consumers. What a wonderful present for us at WWDC this year! Thank you to all our friends at Apple for this great new API. The integration is absolutely fantastic and so much better than anything on iOS and Android. One of the biggest and surprising changes in iOS 12 is the addition of a new API that allows 3rd party password managers (such as 1Password) to integrate directly into the QuickType bar above the keyboard. Hopefully, iOS 12 takes things back to the good old days when iOS was super responsive and not just a showcase of animations. It is pretty disappointing seeing how fast a device like the iPad Air 2 is when it comes to launching apps and switching between them on iOS 10 versus iOS 11. It is great to see them focus on improving things across the board for older devices as well. iOS 11 made things even worse on the iPhone 6. Older devices like the iPhone 6 (and Plus) don’t feel good to use at all right now. Having seen how older devices perform running newer versions of iOS, the best addition in iOS 12 is the improvement to performance for older and newer devices. You will be able to block some apps in a particular time frame as well as get daily and weekly reports to see how you and your kids are using your iOS devices. This will be very useful for parents who want to limit the time spent by kids on certain kinds of apps or games. In addition to being able to see exactly how much time you spend on apps and on your iOS device in general, you will now be able to limit the time spent by yourself or your loved ones. iOS 12 not only lets you group notifications to manage them swiftly but it also offers much better control to deal with notifications. When the ability to group notifications by app was removed from iOS, things became very chaotic for people who use chat apps or anyone who gets a lot of emails. → iOS 12 NotificationsĪpple is finally addressing the way notifications are currently handled on iOS and this is easily the most _useful improvement in iOS 12. But instead of dwelling on the negatives too much, here are some of our favorite things from WWDC 2018 for iOS 12 and macOS. macOS Mojave, on the other hand, has a semi-long list of some great new things, and also some questionable ones (like openGL being deprecated) too. Announced this week and shipping in September, iOS 12 shows that Apple actually is willing to listen to feedback and a lot of the forthcoming changes and improvements are long overdue. While the iPad continues to get more powerful, features like Drag and Drop have been more of a pain than a feature considering how some apps still haven’t supported it. Since its release last year, iOS 11 has been a combination of frustration and “awesome” for a lot of people. WWDC 2018 - Apple’s annual conference for its developer community - is being held in California this week and while the keynote and the big announcements have already taken place, it has been quite interesting to see Apple’s approach towards the macOS and iOS platforms this year.
