WWDC 2016 Keynote wishlist
That time of the year again, when good boys and girls await to be told why our toys are better that everyone else’s — and if we’re lucky… we even get expensive new ones to buy!1.
Here’s my wishlist for tomorrow’s event:
Software:
- macOS 12: I like the rumored new name, OS X / Mac OS X / MacOS X / 10.12.x was always very geeky.
- More Window Management options: Allow 3+ apps in fullscreen, and not only vertical tiles.
- Spotlight: Siri integration.
- Notes: Speed improvement and easier creation of notes — let me add notes by dragging text jezz.
- Photos: Bring more basic iPhoto functionality, especially automatically grouping by event.
- iOS Apps: At least some easier path for iOS developers to brings their apps to the Mac.
- iOS 10:
- Siri for 3rd parties.
- Useful lock-screen for TocuhID: figure out a flow where I don’t have to touch home button with nail if I just want to see recent notifications.
- Customisable Control Center.
- Keyboard: two simultaneous languages and new autocorrect UI.
- Photos: Google Photos level search.
- Stable 3rd party keyboard APIS.
- No autocorrect for hardware keyboards.
- Siri for 3rd parties.
- watchOS 3:
- Rethink the UI.
- Custom watch-faces.
- Less graphics, more speed.
- Always on time.
Hardware:
- MacBook Pro
- Faster, thinner, lighter.
- 13in with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage for $1799
- Siri Speakers
- Great sound.
- Modular: add additional speakers easily.
- Apps: don’t have to AirPlay everything
- Less than $200.
Likelihood of getting everything I want is very low, but wishing anything less wouldn’t be in the spirit of WWDC.
And also tell everyone else why ours are better↩︎
