◼
►
>> Hey, buddy.
00:00:26
◼

00:00:28
◼
►
Thank you so much to everyone who's here.
00:00:30
◼
►
Right now, we are like so happy to do this.
00:00:32
◼
►
This is our first live WWDC show, first of many.
00:00:40
◼
►
- I need to recover.
00:00:41
◼
►
- So we're just blown away that we can do this
00:00:45
◼
►
and thank you all for coming.
00:00:47
◼
►
I also wanna say as well for anybody listening,
00:00:49
◼
►
thank you if you signed up for the waiting list.
00:00:52
◼
►
We're sorry, next year we'll have a bigger room.
00:00:55
◼
►
- We'll move next door, it's much bigger.
00:00:57
◼
►
Okay, we'll do that, that's fine.
00:00:59
◼
►
I just wanna very quickly say that RelayCon
00:01:01
◼
►
has been a massive undertaking for us,
00:01:03
◼
►
thanks to this guy, so thank you for doing it.
00:01:06
◼
►
(audience applauding)
00:01:08
◼
►
And also our sponsors, we have some sponsors this evening
00:01:11
◼
►
that we'll talk about a little later on,
00:01:12
◼
►
but first off, thanks to Cards Against Humanity.
00:01:15
◼
►
They didn't want us to read an ad,
00:01:18
◼
►
they just wanted to have a drink, so.
00:01:20
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:01:21
◼
►
Drinks are on cards.
00:01:22
◼
►
So first off, let me introduce our co-host of Connected on Real
00:01:28
◼
►
AFM, Federico Vatici.
00:01:33
◼
►
You can sit down now.
00:01:35
◼
►
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:01:37
◼
►
How's everybody doing?
00:01:40
◼
►
Let's do this.
00:01:45
◼
►
What you want to talk about?
00:01:47
◼
►
Long time no see.
00:01:48
◼
►
Look at this guy.
00:01:49
◼
►
He's in San Francisco.
00:01:51
◼
►
I know, it's nice.
00:01:54
◼
►
So we travelled here together, why don't you tell the people what it was like to travel
00:02:01
◼
►
Well, you took good care of me, Myke.
00:02:04
◼
►
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of surreal to be looking at all of you right now.
00:02:11
◼
►
It feels great.
00:02:14
◼
►
You're nice people.
00:02:15
◼
►
I mean, Europeans, Americans, we're all nice people.
00:02:19
◼
►
And everybody else of course.
00:02:25
◼
►
We had a London meetup.
00:02:27
◼
►
We had a London meetup.
00:02:31
◼
►
It was amazing.
00:02:32
◼
►
Well, not everyone had a meetup.
00:02:34
◼
►
As the show goes, you were dead in that.
00:02:39
◼
►
You set that up and we had to tell everyone that unfortunately you couldn't make it because
00:02:44
◼
►
you were deceased.
00:02:45
◼
►
I feel better now though.
00:02:46
◼
►
That's good.
00:02:47
◼
►
I'm really pleased you made it.
00:02:49
◼
►
So this was your first keynote.
00:02:52
◼
►
What did you think?
00:02:53
◼
►
- There were a lot of people,
00:02:57
◼
►
which is unusual for me because I never get to talk
00:03:01
◼
►
with this stuff with a lot of people.
00:03:03
◼
►
It was great.
00:03:04
◼
►
I'm just gonna say right now,
00:03:07
◼
►
I was looking for more iPad stuff.
00:03:10
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:03:13
◼
►
- I feel like he's like saying it to someone.
00:03:16
◼
►
At least we got a file system, but that's okay.
00:03:21
◼
►
For some people.
00:03:22
◼
►
For some people.
00:03:24
◼
►
There we go. Thank you so much.
00:03:27
◼
►
So, what was it like to stand in line? What time did you get in line this morning?
00:03:35
◼
►
So we went to 7 a.m. to take it easy because it was a bigger location.
00:03:39
◼
►
And I feel like there was no need to go like at 2 a.m.
00:03:45
◼
►
I could, there was no need to maybe be the first in line.
00:03:50
◼
►
But it was a really nice location.
00:03:52
◼
►
I don't know what the keynotes are like in Moscone, but this one was very nice.
00:03:57
◼
►
Almost European, the whole setup.
00:04:00
◼
►
Why is everything European?
00:04:02
◼
►
Because the columns and architecture and stuff, like it wasn't American.
00:04:05
◼
►
I mean it was American but not real American.
00:04:07
◼
►
You know what I mean?
00:04:10
◼
►
Fedrick, let me ask you this.
00:04:11
◼
►
So you went to the watch event in March?
00:04:14
◼
►
year ago now. How did that feel compared to this one? I mean obviously this is like, this is Super Bowl for us, right?
00:04:21
◼
►
I think there's basketball going on tonight or something, who cares? This is our week.
00:04:26
◼
►
I'll tell you what, developers are really nice people, but press people, they're all standing in line and pushing each other,
00:04:33
◼
►
they wanna rush to the front line, I mean I'm sorry Dan, I'm sorry Jason, you two are an exception, but they're all, it's a very different feeling,
00:04:42
◼
►
When you go to this kind of developer event,
00:04:47
◼
►
it feels more like we're all in this together.
00:04:51
◼
►
Even if-- I mean, I don't make apps.
00:04:53
◼
►
I write about apps.
00:04:55
◼
►
But it feels like there's more of a communal feeling,
00:04:57
◼
►
of a collaboration feeling.
00:04:59
◼
►
And instead of a press event, it's more of everyone's there
00:05:03
◼
►
to do their job, which is to write about Apple
00:05:07
◼
►
because they have to.
00:05:10
◼
►
Which is okay, because that's also my job.
00:05:17
◼
►
It's a different feeling, and I feel like this one is more genuine, maybe.
00:05:21
◼
►
That's what I would say.
00:05:22
◼
►
>> So let's talk about what happened today.
00:05:26
◼
►
>> They didn't capitalize the M. >> No, they didn't do that, did they?
00:05:30
◼
►
How do you feel about that?
00:05:31
◼
►
>> A little dead inside.
00:05:34
◼
►
Have you set up Texas Band of Snoopers yet?
00:05:38
◼
►
Mac OS now changing to, you know, without the X.
00:05:43
◼
►
And it is semicolon M-O-S-S.
00:05:46
◼
►
Not sure what that says, how I feel about the name,
00:05:49
◼
►
'cause it spells moss, but it works.
00:05:51
◼
►
- Okay, so I wanna talk a little bit about Mac OS.
00:05:56
◼
►
Mac-acos. - No.
00:05:58
◼
►
- I love that, by the way.
00:05:59
◼
►
I'll get you through that, AKC.
00:06:02
◼
►
What do you think about the Siri integration?
00:06:04
◼
►
'Cause I think we're all expecting
00:06:07
◼
►
a really crazy Siri keynote.
00:06:10
◼
►
- Yeah, so I mean, we go into these things
00:06:13
◼
►
and something's in the news cycle.
00:06:15
◼
►
Your podcast talk about it, it's on websites.
00:06:18
◼
►
And it's really easy to think it's really gonna blow it
00:06:22
◼
►
out of the water.
00:06:23
◼
►
And I, for one, for off the bat,
00:06:24
◼
►
actually answer your question before I leave it.
00:06:27
◼
►
I think it's good.
00:06:29
◼
►
I think Siri on the Mac is gonna be a good thing
00:06:31
◼
►
for the platform.
00:06:32
◼
►
It's something Apple has worked over time.
00:06:35
◼
►
You know, it started on the iPhone and then the iPad
00:06:37
◼
►
and now it's on the Mac.
00:06:39
◼
►
Do I wish it could do more?
00:06:42
◼
►
Of course, but of course this is day one, right?
00:06:45
◼
►
We don't really know what developers are gonna be able to do.
00:06:48
◼
►
I don't know what these guys and leaders
00:06:50
◼
►
are gonna do with it yet, but I think it's a good start.
00:06:53
◼
►
And I think that the Mac will benefit
00:06:55
◼
►
from the time that Siri has had on the iPhone and the iPad,
00:06:59
◼
►
and of course the watch, when it works.
00:07:01
◼
►
True story, I set a timer to come up here
00:07:04
◼
►
and tell you guys to sit down on my watch,
00:07:06
◼
►
and it just didn't do anything.
00:07:08
◼
►
And then I pulled my phone out, so it's really working well.
00:07:11
◼
►
But overall, I'm excited, and I think the opportunities
00:07:14
◼
►
that it presents on the Mac,
00:07:17
◼
►
it's sort of new ground for Mac developers,
00:07:20
◼
►
where they really haven't had that in a long time.
00:07:22
◼
►
And so something new, a big new feature coming to the Mac
00:07:25
◼
►
is exciting to me.
00:07:26
◼
►
- All right, so you are a person
00:07:28
◼
►
that knows your way around the Mac.
00:07:31
◼
►
- Are you ever gonna use it?
00:07:32
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:07:35
◼
►
- I think that my hesitation is that I don't,
00:07:40
◼
►
I don't even like talking to my phone.
00:07:42
◼
►
Even if I'm home alone working, just me and the dog,
00:07:44
◼
►
it still feels a little weird.
00:07:45
◼
►
There's some awkwardness there.
00:07:47
◼
►
But I'm willing to give it a shot,
00:07:49
◼
►
especially if it can get below the surface a little bit.
00:07:53
◼
►
They did some of that advanced searching,
00:07:55
◼
►
which of course you can do that in Spotlight.
00:07:57
◼
►
You can tell Spotlight, find me a file with this date,
00:07:59
◼
►
with this tag that, you know, it's got the word Casey in it.
00:08:05
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:08:07
◼
►
I don't need to know about that.
00:08:09
◼
►
But if you can do that with your voice,
00:08:12
◼
►
I think that's gonna be interesting.
00:08:13
◼
►
I think time will tell if I end up adopting it.
00:08:17
◼
►
- All right, one of the things that I think
00:08:18
◼
►
is really interesting about the Mac now
00:08:20
◼
►
is the logging in with the Apple Watch.
00:08:23
◼
►
Now, I'm kind of going back and forth in my brain about this
00:08:28
◼
►
as to whether it really is worth having
00:08:31
◼
►
the Apple Watch for it, or if you could just do it
00:08:33
◼
►
the iPhone and you want to sell more Apple watches? What do you think?
00:08:37
◼
►
I think it's one of those things that... I think Apple likes to give those of us who
00:08:44
◼
►
use all their devices little rewards for doing that almost.
00:08:49
◼
►
It's like a loyalty program.
00:08:50
◼
►
Yeah, it's like you spend all this money, you can now do this cool thing. But I think
00:08:55
◼
►
that it's a benefit to people who have a Mac and have an Apple watch. Is it going to be
00:08:59
◼
►
something that sells a bunch of Apple watches or doesn't sell a bunch of Apple watches?
00:09:03
◼
►
I don't think so. I think at the end of the day it's going to be really cool for those of us who want to use it
00:09:07
◼
►
but I don't think it's going to drastically change the direction that product is headed in.
00:09:13
◼
►
I mean it's this year's Sherlock for Mac ID, right?
00:09:16
◼
►
Yeah. Is the developer of Mac ID here?
00:09:21
◼
►
Universal Clipboard. Now this is one that they spoke about in the Mac but obviously it affects iOS as well.
00:09:28
◼
►
this is interesting.
00:09:31
◼
►
Like, 'cause you look at it and you think,
00:09:33
◼
►
oh, that seems like something I want.
00:09:35
◼
►
But then I start thinking about all of the things
00:09:36
◼
►
that I might copy on one device,
00:09:38
◼
►
and then they just randomly, like,
00:09:40
◼
►
just hijack the clipboard of another device.
00:09:43
◼
►
- Right, I think it will be something
00:09:45
◼
►
that is frustrating to use if you're going back and forth.
00:09:48
◼
►
Like, you're doing something on your Mac,
00:09:50
◼
►
you pick up your iPhone and do something.
00:09:52
◼
►
But I don't know how many people actually work that way.
00:09:53
◼
►
I know that I don't.
00:09:54
◼
►
If I'm at my Mac, I'm sitting and working at my Mac,
00:09:56
◼
►
and then if I pick my phone up to go for a walk,
00:09:58
◼
►
then I'm on my phone.
00:10:00
◼
►
So I think there will be opportunity
00:10:03
◼
►
for it to do the wrong thing,
00:10:04
◼
►
or for it to break your expectation,
00:10:07
◼
►
because I'm working on my Mac,
00:10:08
◼
►
and I've copied something, and I come back later,
00:10:11
◼
►
and that's still in my mind is what's on my clipboard.
00:10:15
◼
►
But you can just use a clipboard history manager
00:10:17
◼
►
like a gentleman, and you'll be okay.
00:10:19
◼
►
- What do you think?
00:10:20
◼
►
'Cause it's gonna be iOS to iOS as well.
00:10:22
◼
►
- That's what I wanna understand, right?
00:10:25
◼
►
It was part of the continuity features.
00:10:27
◼
►
So it's not clear to me at least yet
00:10:29
◼
►
if it's going to be on the local network only,
00:10:32
◼
►
or if my iPhone is on 3G and the iPad is on Wi-Fi.
00:10:36
◼
►
I think it's going to be really nice.
00:10:38
◼
►
There's no interface, which is kind of what
00:10:40
◼
►
concerns me coming from a real clipboard manager.
00:10:44
◼
►
And I feel like it's going to be interesting to see which
00:10:47
◼
►
apps opt out of the feature.
00:10:49
◼
►
Because if I'm-- like 1Password, for example.
00:10:51
◼
►
Can they opt out?
00:10:52
◼
►
They can, yes.
00:10:54
◼
►
And there's going to be also, I feel like, some timestamp
00:11:00
◼
►
So there's going to be the ability for developers
00:11:02
◼
►
to opt out of that feature.
00:11:04
◼
►
What I want to understand is, without an interface,
00:11:08
◼
►
anything I copy just propagates to another device.
00:11:11
◼
►
I don't know.
00:11:12
◼
►
I use a Clip Manager now, which is nice,
00:11:14
◼
►
because I get to see what I copy.
00:11:16
◼
►
Without one, it's just up to the iCloud gods, I guess.
00:11:22
◼
►
Now, there was one app--
00:11:24
◼
►
so when we were planning this out,
00:11:25
◼
►
I was like, what are we going to talk about?
00:11:26
◼
►
Because it all happened this morning,
00:11:27
◼
►
so I've been thinking of what we're
00:11:28
◼
►
going to talk about today.
00:11:29
◼
►
And there was one app that came up, and I was like, oh, perfect.
00:11:32
◼
►
Photos, photo management.
00:11:34
◼
►
That's three.
00:11:34
◼
►
Photo management.
00:11:35
◼
►
We've never covered that.
00:11:36
◼
►
Oh, should we start from the start?
00:11:37
◼
►
Have you ever heard of Everpix?
00:11:39
◼
►
Does anyone?
00:11:40
◼
►
So Photos apparently got a bunch of features.
00:11:44
◼
►
See, I say apparently.
00:11:45
◼
►
I'm so judging of it already.
00:11:47
◼
►
That seemed to be Google Photos Like, right?
00:11:51
◼
►
Like is, I mean, yeah.
00:11:53
◼
►
- Days through, is it, they said deep learning?
00:11:58
◼
►
Deep learning went up to today?
00:11:59
◼
►
- Yeah, they really like to say deep learning
00:12:00
◼
►
and AI and advanced computer vision,
00:12:02
◼
►
which runs like a movie from the '80s.
00:12:05
◼
►
But it's close to, I mean, it's really close
00:12:09
◼
►
to Google Photos and the Google Assistant feature.
00:12:11
◼
►
I mean, Memories from Apple, Assistant from Google.
00:12:14
◼
►
Like down to the video stuff with the stock music, basically.
00:12:20
◼
►
You can make videos with sounds.
00:12:25
◼
►
It makes sense for people like -- I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but people like
00:12:30
◼
►
my mom, for example, they take a bunch of pictures and they can easily make a movie
00:12:33
◼
►
because they just want to mess around with other tools.
00:12:37
◼
►
>> So one of the things Apple is claiming they're able to do with the new Photos app
00:12:40
◼
►
is to make connections between things and learn faces and they can tell you something's
00:12:45
◼
►
a horse, something's a mountain.
00:12:47
◼
►
Like how Google Photos does.
00:12:50
◼
►
Do you believe that they can do this without leveraging something like Google has?
00:12:59
◼
►
Hopefully they can tell the difference between a horse and a mountain.
00:13:01
◼
►
I'll give them that.
00:13:02
◼
►
I used horse and mountain in an upgrade as well.
00:13:04
◼
►
I don't know why.
00:13:05
◼
►
It was in the keynote I think.
00:13:07
◼
►
Was it in the keynote?
00:13:08
◼
►
Does anybody know?
00:13:09
◼
►
Oh that's weird.
00:13:10
◼
►
Underscore says yes and underscore is the record keeper of all things.
00:13:12
◼
►
So yeah, I mean obviously what you're getting to right is that you upload your photos to
00:13:18
◼
►
Google Photos and it is using the power of their cloud infrastructure to do all that
00:13:24
◼
►
stuff where Apple is going to do it on this. Which I'm not a computer scientist.
00:13:29
◼
►
He picked up his iPhone by the way.
00:13:30
◼
►
Yeah sorry audio listeners. I don't think this iPhone is as powerful as Google's entire
00:13:35
◼
►
cloud infrastructure. I could be wrong. I don't think I am. And so can they pull it
00:13:42
◼
►
off in a way that is convincing and in a way that really competes Google Photos? I don't
00:13:48
◼
►
know, but I don't know if they have to to be a compelling feature. I think somebody who
00:13:52
◼
►
isn't going to use Google Photos for privacy reasons, or they just don't know about it, or they can't upload 70 gigs of photos over
00:13:59
◼
►
DSL, if it's just happening on their iPad, then they will benefit from that
00:14:03
◼
►
experience. It may not be as good as Google.
00:14:06
◼
►
I kind of think it won't be just because that's really Google's bread and butter, and it's not Apple's.
00:14:11
◼
►
But maybe this is, maybe that will change. Maybe next year if we're in that bigger room
00:14:15
◼
►
We say you know what Apple's done as good of a job as Google has I'd like to say that but right now
00:14:20
◼
►
I'm a little hesitant to jump in but they talked about this
00:14:23
◼
►
Differential privacy feature which I mean we're all talking without having read the documentation basically
00:14:29
◼
►
I will never read it so they explained this car. I know you're gonna wait for the audiobook version
00:14:35
◼
►
video version alright
00:14:37
◼
►
So they explained this concept which is way above my head
00:14:40
◼
►
I don't know. But the idea is they're gonna pull the knowledge from a lot of users while staying private and
00:14:47
◼
►
trying to spot trends in that kind of knowledge. Now
00:14:51
◼
►
I don't know if you can like pull the knowledge of horses from millions of pictures.
00:14:55
◼
►
Horses and mountains.
00:14:59
◼
►
But I mean, I'm not too optimistic right now.
00:15:03
◼
►
I feel bad, right?
00:15:05
◼
►
Why do you feel bad?
00:15:07
◼
►
For Apple, they have billions in the back.
00:15:09
◼
►
Like, 'cause I'm just like immediately, immediately,
00:15:11
◼
►
I'm like, they can't do it.
00:15:13
◼
►
I just immediately just think they can't do it.
00:15:15
◼
►
- I mean, there's a history to that complaint.
00:15:18
◼
►
And it's something that is, you know,
00:15:20
◼
►
when Google announced it, it was kind of in line
00:15:22
◼
►
with what they do other places, right?
00:15:25
◼
►
That they do this sort of big data set,
00:15:28
◼
►
pull trends together type stuff.
00:15:30
◼
►
And Apple just hasn't done that yet.
00:15:32
◼
►
And in the State of the Union, talking about the,
00:15:35
◼
►
what did you call it?
00:15:37
◼
►
- Differential privacy.
00:15:38
◼
►
- Thank you.
00:15:38
◼
►
going to remember that. They're they've already been using it in things like news and I think
00:15:43
◼
►
they had some examples of like ways that it works already. So maybe they can do it. You
00:15:48
◼
►
know my bigger questions around that sort of thing are like I own an iPhone and I own
00:15:54
◼
►
an iPad and I own a Mac. And if I buy into the system which my photos are still on Dropbox
00:15:58
◼
►
I'm not even in photos app yet. How like are they passing that metadata structure around
00:16:05
◼
►
Or is like my iPad and my iPhone and my Mac all doing this independently?
00:16:09
◼
►
If they're doing it independently, are the results the same on all of them?
00:16:12
◼
►
I hope they're not doing that.
00:16:14
◼
►
Who knows, man?
00:16:15
◼
►
Like it's the Wild West right now.
00:16:18
◼
►
But they're very obviously very concerned about the privacy angle, which I appreciate.
00:16:22
◼
►
I use Google Photos.
00:16:23
◼
►
I think we all do at this point.
00:16:25
◼
►
Just for like a searching.
00:16:26
◼
►
Yeah, I use it to find things because I don't think I can't sync my whole library to my
00:16:32
◼
►
It makes really nice black and white pictures of you, by the way.
00:16:34
◼
►
Google photos.
00:16:35
◼
►
Yeah, you look great in black and white.
00:16:38
◼
►
You should consider that as an avatar.
00:16:39
◼
►
I have to say though, it's been nice this week, because I've been getting a bunch of
00:16:44
◼
►
like, "Three years ago, you're a WWDC" type stuff popping up.
00:16:48
◼
►
And I know that Apple's doing some of that, like the memory stuff as well.
00:16:52
◼
►
And it seems like what they're...
00:16:53
◼
►
It's quite ambitious what they're trying to do, right?
00:16:55
◼
►
Like linking people together, linking places together.
00:16:58
◼
►
And you know, we were making fun of the videos, right?
00:17:00
◼
►
But it looks like the picture stuff looks pretty good.
00:17:03
◼
►
Yeah, and especially when you consider all the different kinds of pictures that can put together like or videos like slow-mo videos or live photos
00:17:10
◼
►
Or you know like the time-lapse for example, so they have these different types of media
00:17:15
◼
►
It's not just like a picture and a video. It's multiple types of videos and pictures
00:17:19
◼
►
Which is interesting to to see like you don't have to do anything about you know, putting together manually
00:17:27
◼
►
It's all automatic and if they can pull it off
00:17:29
◼
►
I mean if you consider the scale of the photos app the billions of people basically using that so
00:17:36
◼
►
It has potential but I want to be subtle neutral, you know, not to optimistic not to pessimistic. It's wayne see yeah
00:17:43
◼
►
Swift playgrounds
00:17:46
◼
►
Right. Yeah now
00:17:49
◼
►
Can you give a brief overview as to what Swift because this is not Xcode, right?
00:17:55
◼
►
What is Swift Playgrounds on iOS?
00:17:58
◼
►
Like what is the basis of what this is?
00:18:00
◼
►
I mean I'm not the best person to do that.
00:18:02
◼
►
I figured, do you know more?
00:18:06
◼
►
Right, so the idea is...
00:18:07
◼
►
You were there.
00:18:09
◼
►
I was there.
00:18:13
◼
►
So the idea is it's an app where you can learn Swift and there's a bunch of courses and lessons
00:18:20
◼
►
that you can take.
00:18:22
◼
►
And they teach you Swift in this interactive fashion.
00:18:26
◼
►
And it's real code, but some of the features that you use to put together this code are
00:18:31
◼
►
not the usual stuff that you see in Xcode.
00:18:34
◼
►
So for example, you want to create a repeat loop, you drag a bunch of things around, and
00:18:39
◼
►
you can do that visually and manually with multi-touch.
00:18:43
◼
►
And they show this demo of putting together different games, or scenarios where you have
00:18:48
◼
►
this character on screen and you want to teach a character to walk or to jump and you put
00:18:53
◼
►
together these comments in a very simple fashion and then you can advance the courses and do
00:18:57
◼
►
more complicated stuff.
00:18:59
◼
►
And then in the State of the Union they show the more adventurous type of things such as
00:19:05
◼
►
accessing the iOS SDK or iOS APIs and doing real stuff like a color picker for example.
00:19:13
◼
►
So it can go pretty deep then.
00:19:15
◼
►
Yeah, and I mean, of course, I saw the workflow guys on Twitter.
00:19:19
◼
►
They access Objective-C in the Swift playgrounds.
00:19:22
◼
►
I mean, those guys are crazy.
00:19:25
◼
►
But it is possible.
00:19:26
◼
►
So, it's not Xcode.
00:19:29
◼
►
So Casey, I mean, so the backstory here.
00:19:34
◼
►
A while back, Casey told me, "If it's gonna be anything more than playgrounds, I'll buy
00:19:39
◼
►
you a bottle of anything."
00:19:43
◼
►
I took a screenshot of that.
00:19:46
◼
►
It's still in my notes app, as Casey's promised.
00:19:50
◼
►
Now, I don't know, am I supposed to buy you
00:19:52
◼
►
a bottle of anything?
00:19:55
◼
►
We have witnesses here.
00:19:56
◼
►
Yeah, we're all good.
00:19:58
◼
►
Federico, tell me, do you think that this
00:20:02
◼
►
is a sign of the maturity of the iOS platform?
00:20:05
◼
►
Yeah, definitely.
00:20:05
◼
►
I mean, you cannot create apps on the iPad, which I guess
00:20:10
◼
►
is going to be the new meme going forward.
00:20:14
◼
►
But it's definitely a sign of any platform where
00:20:16
◼
►
you can start do programming.
00:20:18
◼
►
I feel like it's a sign of growing up.
00:20:20
◼
►
And you can see that growing up from the consumer standpoint
00:20:23
◼
►
where more extensions giving developers more access.
00:20:26
◼
►
And you can see that maturity from a real programming
00:20:30
◼
►
point of view, which is you can write code
00:20:32
◼
►
and you can see what's happening.
00:20:33
◼
►
So it's still not Xcode.
00:20:36
◼
►
I'm not sure when we'll get Xcode.
00:20:39
◼
►
I want to be optimistic here and say, well, get there eventually.
00:20:44
◼
►
But it's nice, especially because I'm thinking in education scenarios.
00:20:49
◼
►
And there's these kids--
00:20:50
◼
►
There's an educator over there, I think.
00:20:52
◼
►
I think there's an educator over there.
00:20:54
◼
►
I think there's some guy--
00:20:56
◼
►
Fist pump guy, I think.
00:20:57
◼
►
Some guy I do some podcast with.
00:21:00
◼
►
And when you have these kids using iPads in classrooms for books
00:21:06
◼
►
and apps and courses, and then you reach the point
00:21:09
◼
►
where you're like, okay, I wanna teach programming,
00:21:12
◼
►
and you have to move to a Mac,
00:21:14
◼
►
which, you know, respect to the Mac, but--
00:21:18
◼
►
- I know, don't bring--
00:21:22
◼
►
- I can ship you an iMac.
00:21:23
◼
►
- I'm just saying. - Or 15.
00:21:26
◼
►
- The transition to, from an iPad to Xcode
00:21:31
◼
►
could be smoother, maybe.
00:21:34
◼
►
It could be like growing up with the iPad
00:21:36
◼
►
and eventually moving to the Mac
00:21:37
◼
►
when you get to do real development with apps.
00:21:42
◼
►
So I think we'll get there.
00:21:43
◼
►
It's just baby steps.
00:21:46
◼
►
- I like the educational angle to it,
00:21:48
◼
►
and you and I were talking this morning,
00:21:50
◼
►
neither you or I are developers.
00:21:52
◼
►
I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it,
00:21:56
◼
►
but it's really, I mean, it's built in a way, obviously,
00:21:58
◼
►
to, there's a classroom angle to it,
00:22:00
◼
►
and especially in the demo they used,
00:22:01
◼
►
which I think was really purposeful,
00:22:04
◼
►
saying, you know, this is this guy,
00:22:05
◼
►
you're gonna move him around,
00:22:06
◼
►
and you can see it visually as it's happening.
00:22:09
◼
►
But even for somebody like me, or maybe someone like you,
00:22:12
◼
►
who maybe wanna get into this at some point,
00:22:15
◼
►
I can see it being a really easy way in.
00:22:17
◼
►
I mean, my hat's off to all of you developers here tonight,
00:22:21
◼
►
because it seems so daunting to me to do it as a job.
00:22:26
◼
►
And to see an easy way in, where maybe if it's not me,
00:22:29
◼
►
but maybe one of my kids wants to learn it,
00:22:31
◼
►
or, you know, so many easier ways in, so good.
00:22:36
◼
►
And I mean the cynic is like well apples like embedding Swift and all of our children's minds like cool. Let's do it
00:22:43
◼
►
Do you think you do technical says you're gonna try it? I'm definitely gonna play with it
00:22:48
◼
►
I think that it is if anything I want to see what this type of work is like on the iPad
00:22:53
◼
►
I don't know if I'm gonna go right now anytime soon, but I am excited to at least spend some time with it you
00:22:59
◼
►
What do you think?
00:23:03
◼
►
Micros right I'm gonna build one two three note taker
00:23:06
◼
►
All right, I'm taking this joke as far as I can go
00:23:11
◼
►
All right, that's it. That's it. Thank you guys. Thank you. Say thank you to Federico and Steven
00:23:18
◼
►
So just before we start our next section I want to thank a couple of our sponsors for this evening
00:23:31
◼
►
So if you're a fan of Relay FM, you've probably heard of Dash.
00:23:35
◼
►
It's an app where you can create and share dashboards
00:23:38
◼
►
Dash is currently working on something new,
00:23:40
◼
►
and they're looking for beta testers.
00:23:42
◼
►
Dash Agent is what it's called, and it's software
00:23:44
◼
►
that you install behind your own firewall,
00:23:47
◼
►
and it lets you show information from your database
00:23:49
◼
►
on your dashboard.
00:23:50
◼
►
If you're interested in beta testing, you can talk to Scott.
00:23:53
◼

00:25:01
◼
►
All right, now let me introduce my next guest,
00:25:04
◼
►
my co-host of "Upgrade" on Relay FM, Mr. Jason Snell.
00:25:08
◼
►
Look at him running for the stage, Jason Snell.
00:25:10
◼
►
(audience cheering)
00:25:12
◼
►
Hello, person.
00:25:13
◼
►
Please take a microphone.
00:25:15
◼
►
- Do I get to sit here?
00:25:16
◼
►
- You get to sit right next to me.
00:25:17
◼
►
- I was in the back.
00:25:18
◼
►
You read that really fast.
00:25:20
◼
►
I thought I had lots of time.
00:25:21
◼
►
- On point today.
00:25:24
◼
►
- Yeah, you're so professionals.
00:25:25
◼
►
- Jason, before we begin,
00:25:28
◼
►
- Is the new Apple file system a robot?
00:25:32
◼
►
- I don't think I'm qualified to answer that,
00:25:36
◼
►
but I know someone who is.
00:25:38
◼
►
- Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Siracusa.
00:25:42
◼
►
(audience cheering)
00:25:45
◼
►
So can you tell me, is the new Apple file system a robot?
00:25:50
◼
►
- Hold on, hold on a second.
00:25:52
◼
►
Robot or not?
00:25:54
◼
►
Robot or not?
00:25:55
◼
►
All right, now, again.
00:25:57
◼
►
- That question is like the one that inspired the show
00:26:02
◼
►
in the first place in that it is very dumb.
00:26:04
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:26:06
◼
►
- The original question was the dance from the 80s,
00:26:09
◼
►
the robot, is that a robot?
00:26:11
◼
►
That is not a robot.
00:26:12
◼
►
Neither is the file system.
00:26:13
◼
►
Bad question.
00:26:15
◼
►
- Are you having a good day though?
00:26:17

►
- I am having a good day.
00:26:19
◼
►
Jason, do you have a bad question?
00:26:21
◼
►
- Yeah, I do.
00:26:21
◼
►
Okay, so John, people have been trying to understand
00:26:25
◼
►
your definition of a robot.
00:26:27
◼
►
We've learned that a Roomba is a robot,
00:26:29
◼
►
nanobots may be robots,
00:26:31
◼
►
other things that people think are robots are not robots.
00:26:34
◼
►
Somebody gave me a very detailed hypothetical
00:26:36
◼
►
that I wanted to run past you.
00:26:38
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:26:40
◼
►
- This is how the show goes, is basically like this.
00:26:42
◼
►
I say long sentences and John's like, "Mm-hmm."
00:26:47
◼
►
- So imagine there was a robot,
00:26:49
◼
►
well, okay, you decide.
00:26:51
◼
►
There's an object, there's a machine, and it's on a track.
00:26:55
◼
►
And it's in, let's say, some sort of terrain
00:26:56
◼
►
where the sun shines at various times of the day.
00:27:00
◼
►
And this machine has a flower pot.
00:27:03
◼
►
- This is getting complicated.
00:27:04
◼
►
(audience laughs)
00:27:05
◼
►
- And the flower pot, the goal of the machine,
00:27:07
◼
►
the machine's been programmed, it's got a light sensor,
00:27:09
◼
►
and it can move up and down the track.
00:27:10
◼
►
And the goal is to keep the flower pot in the sun
00:27:14
◼
►
as much as possible so the flower grows.
00:27:16
◼
►
So I realize this is a hypothetical,
00:27:18
◼
►
but the idea there is it can move,
00:27:20
◼
►
although only on one dimension on a track,
00:27:22
◼
►
and it's looking for the light
00:27:23
◼
►
because it needs to keep the plant in the light.
00:27:26
◼
►
Is that a robot?
00:27:27
◼
►
- How big is the vehicle in comparison to the track?
00:27:31
◼
►
(audience laughing)
00:27:32
◼
►
- How can that, see, I'm not usually here,
00:27:34
◼
►
there's a good reason.
00:27:35
◼
►
How can that make any difference to your answer?
00:27:38
◼
►
- It just does.
00:27:40
◼
►
- Robots, robots.
00:27:41
◼
►
- How big is it compared to the track?
00:27:43
◼
►
Like is the track the length of this room
00:27:45
◼
►
and the thing moving is half the length of the room?
00:27:48
◼
►
Or is the track miles long?
00:27:50
◼
►
- I think the track is like the size
00:27:51
◼
►
of an office building, let's say,
00:27:52
◼
►
It's like a big flower pot, really huge flower pot.
00:27:57
◼
►
Like a bed with flowers in it.
00:28:01
◼
►
- I think that's a robot.
00:28:03
◼
►
Kind of like Wheatley or whatever,
00:28:06
◼
►
what was the name from Portal, the big orb guy?
00:28:11
◼
►
- Wheatley, I got it, okay.
00:28:12
◼
►
He was stuck on a track too,
00:28:14
◼
►
but eventually he jumped off of the track.
00:28:15
◼
►
Being stuck on a track doesn't mean you're not a robot.
00:28:17
◼
►
He's mobile and it's just making decisions
00:28:19
◼
►
about where to go, like the room ball.
00:28:20
◼
►
Like have I been there, am I hitting a wall,
00:28:22
◼
►
Is there a gap here or whatever?
00:28:24
◼
►
So it has a simple logic of follow the light.
00:28:27
◼
►
And I mean, the flower is silly.
00:28:29
◼
►
That doesn't need to be there.
00:28:29
◼
►
It could just be following the light
00:28:31
◼
►
for its own solar panel purpose.
00:28:32
◼
►
The flower is a red herring.
00:28:33
◼
►
But I think that's a cruddy robot
00:28:37
◼
►
and I think that's a robot.
00:28:38
◼
►
- I think we've done it.
00:28:41
◼
►
- I feel like anytime it's actually a robot,
00:28:43
◼
►
it is a huge victory.
00:28:45
◼
►
- It's not that rare.
00:28:46
◼
►
Did you ever run the stats?
00:28:47
◼
►
People are like, "Oh, this is never a robot."
00:28:49
◼
►
Did we ever look at what it is?
00:28:50
◼
►
It's a low percentage, but it's not like 1%.
00:28:52
◼
►
- I'm gonna have to call Wikipedia about that one.
00:28:53
◼
►
I get to crunch the numbers about that.
00:28:55
◼
►
But it's often, people are very sad
00:28:58
◼
►
when their favorite science fiction machine is--
00:28:59
◼
►
- 'Cause they think everything is a robot
00:29:00
◼
►
because robots are cool and they like something, whatever.
00:29:03
◼
►
- But everything is not a robot, people.
00:29:05
◼
►
- No, no, everything is not.
00:29:06
◼
►
- Mr. John Siracusa, thank you so much for joining us.
00:29:10
◼
►
- Thank you for having me.
00:29:11
◼
►
(audience applauding)
00:29:14
◼
►
- All right, now to join me and Jason
00:29:18
◼
►
to talk about watchOS and iOS,
00:29:20
◼
►
Serenity Caldwell of iMore.
00:29:22
◼
►
(audience applauding)
00:29:25
◼
►
All right, so, watchOS.
00:29:33
◼
►
- It's been a big day for watchOS.
00:29:34
◼
►
- It has been.
00:29:35
◼
►
- Kicked off the keynote, and I think, good reason.
00:29:38
◼
►
They rushed through it, but there was a lot there,
00:29:40
◼
►
and I think one of the biggest things that we have,
00:29:42
◼
►
or will have, with watchOS 3, is faster access.
00:29:46
◼
►
- Yes, I definitely, that was the first moment
00:29:50
◼
►
of the keynote after, of course, the moment of silence.
00:29:53
◼
►
And right into that, they're like, congratulations,
00:29:56
◼
►
apps launch instantly now.
00:29:58
◼
►
And inside, I'm just like, thank you, God.
00:30:02
◼
►
I was very, very happy to see that.
00:30:04
◼
►
And of course, we learned as the watchOS 3 demo went on,
00:30:08
◼
►
although they really only used the word watchOS 3 once.
00:30:10
◼
►
And then after that was just watchOS.
00:30:12
◼
►
We're not talking about version names or numbers anymore.
00:30:14
◼
►
Aside from iOS.
00:30:16
◼
►
iOS gets numbers because it's special.
00:30:18
◼
►
But watchOS, they're like, well, it's going to launch instantly.
00:30:22
◼
►
Well, most apps are going to launch instantly.
00:30:24
◼
►
Well, your dock apps are going to launch instantly.
00:30:27
◼
►
And then the other apps are going
00:30:28
◼
►
to launch really, really fast.
00:30:29
◼
►
And we'll explain more in the State of the Union,
00:30:31
◼
►
so stick around for that.
00:30:33
◼
►
But overall, it seems like they have vastly improved speed
00:30:38
◼
►
and being able to actually access your watch apps instead
00:30:41
◼
►
of what happens right now, where I'm like,
00:30:43
◼
►
oh, I've got complications.
00:30:45
◼
►
This is really nice.
00:30:46
◼
►
Carrot weather says something, although it
00:30:48
◼
►
it's three hours out of date, and I tap on it,
00:30:50
◼
►
and then I tap on it again, and then I tap on it
00:30:52
◼
►
a third time, and that doesn't work,
00:30:54
◼
►
and then I tap on it, and then I spend--
00:30:55
◼
►
- Spin, spin, spin. - Yeah, spinning for five minutes
00:30:58
◼
►
and then I get a complication, or an actual app.
00:31:01
◼
►
- Yeah, I had a moment of philosophy,
00:31:05
◼
►
just like a little reverie while I was listening to that,
00:31:07
◼
►
of like, it's seven times as fast to launch.
00:31:11
◼
►
What does that mean?
00:31:13
◼
►
Quite honestly, I'm not quite sure how long it takes
00:31:15
◼
►
my Apple Watch apps to launch,
00:31:17
◼
►
because after about three seconds, I give up.
00:31:20
◼
►
- You switch. - I give up, right?
00:31:21
◼
►
So it's like, if it takes a thousand seconds to launch,
00:31:25
◼
►
what's one seventh of that?
00:31:26
◼
►
Is that too long still?
00:31:28
◼
►
I don't know, I don't know the answer there.
00:31:30
◼
►
But I was very impressed, the fact that they said,
00:31:32
◼
►
prioritization, the fact that they've created
00:31:35
◼
►
two classes of apps, I think is really clever.
00:31:37
◼
►
The idea that if you choose to have it in your dock,
00:31:40
◼
►
or as a complication, which is another thing,
00:31:43
◼
►
you're showing intent, you're showing some intent
00:31:46
◼
►
that this app means something to you.
00:31:48
◼
►
And I was showing you earlier how many apps
00:31:50
◼
►
are on my actual Apple Watch, and it's ludicrous.
00:31:54
◼
►
Because I apparently at some point switched that switch
00:31:57
◼
►
that says-- - To auto install.
00:31:58
◼
►
- Oh, the Apple Watch. - Any app that has
00:31:59
◼
►
an Apple Watch, sure, put it on the watch, who cares?
00:32:02
◼
►
And most of those apps I don't use, right?
00:32:04
◼
►
So that's a smart idea to say, look,
00:32:08
◼
►
if you show any reason that you care about this app,
00:32:13
◼
►
we will make sure that it can run in the background
00:32:16
◼
►
and do some other stuff so that it doesn't take
00:32:19
◼
►
an infinite number of seconds to launch it.
00:32:21
◼
►
- Well, there's just a really good point here.
00:32:23
◼
►
How many times did we see the carousel in that demo?
00:32:27
◼
►
Because I don't think we saw it really at all.
00:32:30
◼
►
- Yeah, the carousel was, I mean, I'm sure it's still there,
00:32:33
◼
►
but they're not talking about it anymore.
00:32:35
◼
►
That's the little tiny touch target.
00:32:37
◼
►
They don't want you to do that anymore with apps, no.
00:32:39
◼
►
- The honeycomb is persona non grata.
00:32:42
◼
►
- I really kind of hope it's just actually dead.
00:32:45
◼
►
- I don't think it is.
00:32:45
◼
►
I think it's still there.
00:32:47
◼
►
- Until Siri gets good enough.
00:32:48
◼
►
- That's the place you go to retrieve something
00:32:50
◼
►
that you haven't said you care about.
00:32:52
◼
►
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
00:32:54
◼
►
- So that's my guess.
00:32:55
◼
►
- When the watch was launched, two buttons,
00:32:57
◼
►
one of those buttons activated friends and digital touch.
00:33:01
◼
►
That button has now been replaced, I guess.
00:33:04
◼
►
The function has been replaced.
00:33:05
◼
►
What do you think that shows for the thinking
00:33:08
◼
►
of the Apple Watch inside of Apple?
00:33:10
◼
►
- Well, I am very glad that Apple took a hard look
00:33:14
◼
►
at how people were using the watch and said,
00:33:17
◼
►
you know what, we really liked Friends internally
00:33:20
◼
►
in watchOS 1, we thought it was a neat feature,
00:33:22
◼
►
we thought people would love to send their heartbeat
00:33:25
◼
►
and do little digital touches,
00:33:27
◼
►
and then we realized when we sent it to everybody
00:33:29
◼
►
that no one really wants to use this feature,
00:33:32
◼
►
and it's kind of useless, and on top of that,
00:33:35
◼
►
the touch targets are again, too small,
00:33:37
◼
►
especially if you're a woman and wearing a 38 millimeter
00:33:40
◼
►
or a man with small wrists.
00:33:42
◼
►
So we're actually gonna use the side button
00:33:44
◼
►
for something useful.
00:33:45
◼
►
And after watchOS 2 came out and there wasn't a change,
00:33:48
◼
►
there was a lot of speculation in watchOS 3.
00:33:50
◼
►
It's like, what are they gonna use the side button for?
00:33:52
◼
►
Are they gonna let us customize it
00:33:53
◼
►
and turn it into like launching activity?
00:33:55
◼
►
Or is it just going to be defacto Apple Pay?
00:33:58
◼
►
Or is it going to be used for accessibility
00:34:00
◼
►
to highlight things?
00:34:01
◼
►
And instead they're like, okay, you know what?
00:34:04
◼
►
We've decided that not only are friends crap,
00:34:07
◼
►
we're gonna take this off the table,
00:34:08
◼
►
but also glances.
00:34:10
◼
►
Glances were a nice idea, but no one uses them
00:34:12
◼
►
'cause they forget how to swipe.
00:34:13
◼
►
So instead, we're gonna assign that button
00:34:15
◼
►
to a functionality.
00:34:16
◼
►
We're gonna make it easier to launch apps from there,
00:34:19
◼
►
and that's gonna be your dock is now this button.
00:34:21
◼
►
And also, it's something that we've made before.
00:34:24
◼
►
You know, this is a product that we actually have a name for
00:34:27
◼
►
that we've used on other platforms
00:34:28
◼
►
that users will be familiar with.
00:34:30
◼
►
And we've changed this, you know,
00:34:33
◼
►
we've changed your swiping behavior
00:34:34
◼
►
so that they actually make sense,
00:34:36
◼
►
and you can get apps from that way too.
00:34:38
◼
►
So I am really grateful that Apple kind of took a step back
00:34:43
◼
►
and said, "Hey, maybe this digital touch thing
00:34:45
◼
►
"is better suited for this device and not this device."
00:34:49
◼
►
- You know there's somebody inside Apple
00:34:52
◼
►
who this was their feature, right?
00:34:56
◼
►
I mean, you know it.
00:34:57
◼
►
You know somebody out there was like,
00:34:58
◼
►
"Man, that button, it's gonna be friends,
00:35:00
◼
►
"it's gonna be a ring, you're gonna pick people,
00:35:02
◼
►
"you're gonna send them your heartbeat,
00:35:03
◼
►
"it's gonna be awesome, everybody's gonna love it."
00:35:06
◼
►
And to be honest, when they announced it at the event
00:35:09
◼
►
on September 9th, 2014, as soon as they said it,
00:35:12
◼
►
I was like, oh, that's terrible, that's a terrible idea.
00:35:14
◼
►
- I liked it, I liked it.
00:35:15
◼
►
- I really liked it, but no one knew to use it with me.
00:35:18
◼
►
- But I think that, but the fact is,
00:35:20
◼
►
we can have those disagreements about what we think,
00:35:23
◼
►
and obviously that happened at Apple,
00:35:24
◼
►
and they're like, yeah, this might be a good idea,
00:35:26
◼
►
let's try it, right?
00:35:27
◼
►
You're being a creative person, let's try it.
00:35:29
◼
►
But one thing to test it in before you even build it,
00:35:35
◼
►
and then like six months of betas on the Apple campus
00:35:37
◼
►
from people who are Apple employees.
00:35:38
◼
►
And there's another thing to ship it
00:35:40
◼
►
and watch how people use it for a year.
00:35:42
◼
►
And for me that was one of the key questions.
00:35:45
◼
►
Maybe the key question of this keynote was,
00:35:48
◼
►
can that person or the people who made that decision
00:35:52
◼
►
look at it a year later and say, yeah, it didn't work.
00:35:56
◼
►
Let's move on, let's do something else.
00:35:58
◼
►
And that's what they did with watchOS 3
00:36:00
◼
►
and I'm really encouraged by that.
00:36:01
◼
►
That I was concerned they were gonna put a stake
00:36:03
◼
►
on the ground and say, "Damn it, we think we're right.
00:36:07
◼
►
"Let's do this some more."
00:36:08
◼
►
And they didn't.
00:36:09
◼
►
They said, "Nah, we got that wrong.
00:36:10
◼
►
"Let's move on."
00:36:12
◼
►
And the fact that Apple, there was a moment where it's like,
00:36:14
◼
►
oh, are we permitted to joke about how slow apps are
00:36:17
◼
►
on the Apple Watch now?
00:36:18
◼
►
In the keynote, where they said,
00:36:20
◼
►
"Oh, hey, launching Apple Watch apps is terrible,
00:36:24
◼
►
"but now it's great."
00:36:25
◼
►
- For the next six months.
00:36:28
◼
►
But they did do that, right?
00:36:31
◼
►
Even though it's always couched in the idea
00:36:34
◼
►
that it's now been improved, and it's always,
00:36:36
◼
►
you never admit you've got a weakness
00:36:38
◼
►
until you've got the solution to the weakness.
00:36:41
◼
►
Even so, they did basically put WatchOS 2 up on stage
00:36:45
◼
►
and say, "Ha ha, look at that, it doesn't work."
00:36:49
◼
►
- You know, we did the iMac special recently,
00:36:51
◼
►
and they were doing the races between the old,
00:36:54
◼
►
like the PCs and the Macs.
00:36:56
◼
►
- The PCs and the Macs, yeah.
00:36:56
◼
►
- It reminded me of that.
00:36:58
◼
►
- Ready, set, go.
00:36:59
◼
►
Yeah, it's today's Apple Watch versus tomorrow's Apple Watch.
00:37:03
◼
►
- Something I can't get out of my head from today
00:37:05
◼
►
was the things that are doing for fitness
00:37:08
◼
►
for wheelchair users.
00:37:10
◼
►
It's just one of those things that is like
00:37:14
◼
►
such an Apple thing to do.
00:37:16
◼
►
Like what is the percentage of their audience
00:37:20
◼
►
that are wheelchair users?
00:37:21
◼
►
It must be a tiny percentage.
00:37:23
◼
►
But they have put so much work and effort into that,
00:37:28
◼
►
I just can't, it just keeps rattling around in my brain
00:37:30
◼
►
as like a reason that I love the company.
00:37:32
◼
►
- It reminds me of what Apple has done
00:37:35
◼
►
for creative professionals in their past
00:37:37
◼
►
and where they just say, this is a niche group of users,
00:37:40
◼
►
yes, this is a group of users that the general population
00:37:43
◼
►
may not even think about.
00:37:44
◼
►
And I, you know, certainly,
00:37:46
◼
►
until Kevin Lynch brought that up,
00:37:48
◼
►
it hadn't even crossed my mind.
00:37:50
◼
►
Like, I think about accessibility constantly
00:37:52
◼
►
because we write articles about it and, you know,
00:37:54
◼
►
we wanna make sure that people understand
00:37:55
◼
►
how to use the accessibility features
00:37:57
◼
►
'cause Apple is so far ahead in that,
00:37:59
◼
►
but you take their fitness device,
00:38:00
◼
►
the device that they're saying,
00:38:02
◼
►
we're promoting health and we're taking it forward,
00:38:04
◼
►
and yeah, there's a whole segment of the population
00:38:07
◼
►
that may not have the use of some or all of their limbs
00:38:10
◼
►
where this is potentially a game changer, right?
00:38:14
◼
►
Where it's like how many fitness devices
00:38:16
◼
►
are specifically geared towards people
00:38:18
◼
►
with potential disabilities or being in wheelchairs.
00:38:23
◼
►
That's huge.
00:38:25
◼
►
And the fact, they were educating,
00:38:26
◼
►
I think everybody in that room was like,
00:38:28
◼
►
here are the types of wheelchair rolls.
00:38:30
◼
►
That was incredible.
00:38:31
◼
►
And now I wanna learn more about how you move
00:38:34
◼
►
in a wheelchair and what's best for what type of terrain,
00:38:36
◼
►
like the arc or the semi-roll.
00:38:37
◼
►
Like that's fascinating to me.
00:38:38
◼
►
- Yeah, it is.
00:38:39
◼
►
Part of what Apple has really said is part of what,
00:38:43
◼
►
as a company and a culture it believes,
00:38:46
◼
►
has been embedded in things like health kit and research kit.
00:38:51
◼
►
And people ask, isn't that just PR?
00:38:54
◼
►
It's like, yeah, it's PR, but I think it's not just PR.
00:38:57
◼
►
I think it's also a corporate value.
00:38:59
◼
►
And even if this is PR, that's a choice that they make
00:39:04
◼
►
to do that kind of PR.
00:39:05
◼
►
- Sure, sure.
00:39:06
◼
►
- They wanna be seen as that company.
00:39:08
◼
►
- And I don't believe it's greenwashing
00:39:10
◼
►
where they're essentially saying,
00:39:12
◼
►
well, this will make us look better, so we'll do it.
00:39:14
◼
►
I do believe it's a corporate value.
00:39:15
◼
►
And this is another example of that,
00:39:18
◼
►
where I think this is them choosing to make some decisions
00:39:22
◼
►
because this is a product that has health implications
00:39:25
◼
►
and therefore it should be more accessible.
00:39:30
◼
►
And so yeah, you're right though,
00:39:32
◼
►
that's exactly what I thought.
00:39:34
◼
►
This is the most appley of things
00:39:38
◼
►
in terms of like Tim Cook's apple
00:39:39
◼
►
to have the time to roll.
00:39:41
◼
►
That was great.
00:39:42
◼
►
- I loved that, that was my favorite.
00:39:44
◼
►
- Yeah, they're quietly revolutionizing it.
00:39:46
◼
►
- Let's talk about iOS.
00:39:48
◼
►
Messages, wow.
00:39:53
◼
►
- I feel there's a real division in this.
00:39:56
◼
►
- Like you either really want this
00:39:58
◼
►
or want it to go away really fast.
00:40:02
◼
►
I can't wait to send people amazing messages
00:40:06
◼
►
full of confetti and explosions.
00:40:10
◼
►
- Oh yeah, I'm gonna get so many confetti explosions
00:40:12
◼
►
from Myke and Steven.
00:40:15
◼
►
- But the thing that was really interesting
00:40:17
◼
►
in the presentation that they just breezed by
00:40:20
◼
►
is a messages app store.
00:40:23
◼
►
What is going on here?
00:40:25
◼
►
Well, so they kind of dropped that right on the more slide
00:40:29
◼
►
and after saying, yeah, you can do app integrations.
00:40:32
◼
►
And really what it is is app extensions,
00:40:34
◼
►
but it is going to be its own separate section in the app
00:40:37
◼
►
store, just like third party keyboards kind of have
00:40:39
◼
►
their separate subsection.
00:40:40
◼
►
I don't think it's actually going to be a separate app
00:40:43
◼
►
store, but you'll be able to access it
00:40:45
◼
►
much like you have Facebook's buy cart, shopping cart,
00:40:49
◼
►
inside their app where it's like buy new stickers.
00:40:51
◼
►
And anybody who's dug into the docs a little bit,
00:40:54
◼
►
you've got the sticker store that Apple's gonna have
00:40:57
◼
►
and then you also have messages app extensions
00:41:00
◼
►
and the stickers can just be stickers.
00:41:02
◼
►
As they said on stage, you don't need to code
00:41:03
◼
►
to be able to that.
00:41:04
◼
►
I could get on my iPad Pro and I could draw
00:41:07
◼
►
a couple of vector stickers and theoretically sell them
00:41:10
◼
►
on the iMessages app store for 99 cents if I wanted to.
00:41:13
◼
►
Relay stickers, yeah.
00:41:14
◼
►
We'll make it happen. - I love stickers.
00:41:18
◼
►
I'm trying to see if I can get someone to make one.
00:41:21
◼
►
- I would be disappointed if all the relay stickers
00:41:24
◼
►
do not show up on iMessage soon.
00:41:26
◼
►
- We're committing people to this.
00:41:29
◼
►
And you can hear him laughing over there.
00:41:31
◼
►
Chris, can you work on that for us, Chris?
00:41:35
◼
►
Is that okay?
00:41:37
◼
►
- No, we talked about this on Upgrade today,
00:41:41
◼
►
that there are these emoji deniers out there.
00:41:45
◼
►
And I get it.
00:41:47
◼
►
There is definitely gonna be a vein of people who say,
00:41:50
◼
►
well look, these are just messages
00:41:52
◼
►
and everything else is frivolity and forget about it
00:41:54
◼
►
and why did they waste their time with this?
00:41:56
◼
►
But if you look at the world
00:41:58
◼
►
and how people use their phones especially,
00:42:00
◼
►
worldwide, not just in one region,
00:42:02
◼
►
but worldwide, messaging apps are the top apps.
00:42:06
◼
►
They are incredibly popular.
00:42:08
◼
►
People use, people live in these apps.
00:42:10
◼
►
They live in WeChat, they live in Snapchat.
00:42:13
◼
►
They live in, there are a bunch of others,
00:42:14
◼
►
Line and Telegram and there's so many others.
00:42:17
◼
►
like this and yes, and Google announced
00:42:21
◼
►
some similar features at IO, but as a platform owner,
00:42:25
◼
►
Apple really risked messages becoming irrelevant
00:42:27
◼
►
to almost everybody because a lot of people
00:42:30
◼
►
really like the fun stuff.
00:42:32
◼
►
And it's not just age, although age is part of it,
00:42:35
◼
►
like my daughter is really into Snapchat
00:42:37
◼
►
and she loves sending emojis and things like that,
00:42:40
◼
►
but my mom loves sending emojis too.
00:42:42
◼
►
I think that people have really gotten that messaging
00:42:46
◼
►
with other people, using your phone to connect
00:42:48
◼
►
with other people can go beyond just the text you send them.
00:42:51
◼
►
It can be pictures and videos and emoji and animations
00:42:55
◼
►
and stickers and all of these other things.
00:42:58
◼
►
And I got to applaud Apple for realizing that
00:43:01
◼
►
and putting some effort into making messages better
00:43:05
◼
►
because the other opportunity here is they don't do that,
00:43:10
◼
►
they do something else, but then iMessage, I think,
00:43:13
◼
►
becomes irrelevant essentially over time.
00:43:16
◼
►
- And iMessage has of course, I mean,
00:43:17
◼
►
it has a huge benefit over some of the other
00:43:20
◼
►
messaging platforms out there in that it is
00:43:22
◼
►
end to end encrypted, which is huge in comparison
00:43:24
◼
►
to something like Ello.
00:43:26
◼
►
But in addition to that, I think this is a big
00:43:29
◼
►
recognition internationally too in terms of
00:43:31
◼
►
how people communicate.
00:43:34
◼
►
And also when you think about the origin of messaging,
00:43:36
◼
►
when we talk about communicating online,
00:43:38
◼
►
who's ever sent just a text message and had it
00:43:41
◼
►
interpreted the wrong way?
00:43:43
◼
►
or it's just text if you put the period on
00:43:46
◼
►
or if you take the period off,
00:43:47
◼
►
suddenly instead of just normal grammar,
00:43:49
◼
►
it becomes oh my God, are they mad at me?
00:43:51
◼
►
They ended it with a period.
00:43:53
◼
►
Whereas I think emoji is a way to kinda lighten that up,
00:43:56
◼
►
adding reactions, adding stickers.
00:43:58
◼
►
It's a way to actually communicate emotions
00:44:01
◼
►
in a forward thinking, in a very real,
00:44:05
◼
►
I'm losing my brain. - It's like body language
00:44:07
◼
►
or other nonverbal communication.
00:44:09
◼
►
- They're cues. - Right,
00:44:10
◼
►
'cause text alone is not enough.
00:44:12
◼
►
And so it's like, okay, what if we animated
00:44:14
◼
►
your text bubble?
00:44:14
◼
►
What if you could put a sticker on something?
00:44:16
◼
►
What if you could send an emoji?
00:44:17
◼
►
It's still a really narrow bandwidth communication medium
00:44:20
◼
►
compared to us all in a room together,
00:44:23
◼
►
but which we're all wired for and our brains are wired for.
00:44:26
◼
►
But it's better than just plain text.
00:44:29
◼
►
- Yeah, and I really do applaud Apple.
00:44:31
◼
►
We're talking about the Apple Watch
00:44:33
◼
►
and the Friends button and all of that
00:44:35
◼
►
for really recognizing, hey, Digital Touch
00:44:37
◼
►
is still potentially a really cool feature.
00:44:39
◼
►
Let's take it off of the watch where it's tiny
00:44:42
◼
►
and almost impossible, and instead, let's make it
00:44:44
◼
►
so that you can annotate photos,
00:44:46
◼
►
and you can put stickers on top of photos,
00:44:47
◼
►
and you can draw on top of photos,
00:44:49
◼
►
or you can just do animated handwritten text
00:44:51
◼
►
that pop up in your messages screen.
00:44:53
◼
►
I think that's a much better place for it.
00:44:55
◼
►
- So, as well as this, we also saw a brand new lock screen.
00:44:58
◼
►
So there's new notification stuff,
00:45:00
◼
►
and it seemed like there were a lot of actions
00:45:01
◼
►
that were taking advantage of 3D Touch.
00:45:04
◼
►
But when I was looking at this, and they were showing,
00:45:07
◼
►
oh, you can take a look at calendar availability
00:45:09
◼
►
by just 3D touching you can respond to messages
00:45:12
◼
►
by just 3D touching.
00:45:13
◼
►
Is there a privacy concern here?
00:45:15
◼
►
'Cause someone should pick up my phone
00:45:17
◼
►
and have all conversations with people,
00:45:19
◼
►
check my messages.
00:45:22
◼
►
- They could do that if they wanted to, maybe.
00:45:25
◼
►
- I had that same thought, and I was actually using,
00:45:28
◼
►
I was trying to use Siri in as many ways as possible
00:45:32
◼
►
the last few weeks, thinking that there would be
00:45:33
◼
►
a lot of talk about Siri this week.
00:45:35
◼
►
And you know the number one problem with Siri
00:45:37
◼
►
on the iPhone is that half of the things you try to tell it,
00:45:40
◼
►
it says, "I'm sorry, you need to unlock the phone
00:45:42
◼
►
"to do that."
00:45:42
◼
►
And I don't know what the solution is,
00:45:45
◼
►
because it's understandable why a lot of stuff
00:45:48
◼
►
is behind the lock and you can't do it.
00:45:50
◼
►
At the same time, a lot of things
00:45:52
◼
►
become a lot less valuable.
00:45:53
◼
►
So I was thinking that again,
00:45:55
◼
►
that with the notification stuff, it's the same story.
00:45:59
◼
►
It's like I want, it's a tough line to walk,
00:46:02
◼
►
but I want these things to be useful.
00:46:05
◼
►
and yet I also want them to be secure.
00:46:08
◼
►
So I don't know whether, you know,
00:46:11
◼
►
what the solution is to that.
00:46:12
◼
►
Would they do proximity using your Apple Watch
00:46:15
◼
►
on your iOS device as well as on your Mac?
00:46:18
◼
►
I don't know, but it is a problem
00:46:20
◼
►
and I get the need for security,
00:46:23
◼
►
but at some point, I mean,
00:46:25
◼
►
I got really frustrated with Sirius.
00:46:26
◼
►
Like, I know, you know, you wanna save my information
00:46:30
◼
►
and not make it publicly available,
00:46:32
◼
►
but if I'm driving, I just want you to do it.
00:46:34
◼
►
I don't wanna get my phone out and put my finger
00:46:37
◼
►
on the Touch ID sensor just to get you to read my messages
00:46:42
◼
►
because I'm driving, that's dangerous.
00:46:44
◼
►
You should just be able to do it.
00:46:46
◼
►
So how do they find that balance?
00:46:47
◼
►
I don't know.
00:46:48
◼
►
- Yeah, I mean it's my understanding that a lot of that
00:46:51
◼
►
is going to be contextually set in privacy,
00:46:53
◼
►
so it's gonna be up to you in terms of how much
00:46:55
◼
►
you wanna show on the lock screen versus how little
00:46:58
◼
►
and whether you wanna show compact or expanded views.
00:47:02
◼
►
But it's a great point in terms of,
00:47:05
◼
►
I would love to see proximity with the watch to the iPhone.
00:47:08
◼
►
It's like, oh, or if I'm in my house, if I'm geofenced,
00:47:11
◼
►
if I'm probably not going to be somewhere
00:47:13
◼
►
where people are snooping over my shoulder,
00:47:15
◼
►
let me just do these actions.
00:47:17
◼
►
- Rem, what is the thing that you're most excited
00:47:21
◼
►
to try from iOS 10?
00:47:25
◼
►
- Why is that?
00:47:27
◼
►
- Well, I spent a little bit of time writing about Apple,
00:47:31
◼
►
like not a lot, like an hour.
00:47:33
◼
►
- One hour, one hour.
00:47:35
◼
►
- Yeah, just one hour per day, every day for last year.
00:47:38
◼
►
- Is that some sort of metric Canadian hour?
00:47:39
◼
►
- Yeah, half Canadian hour.
00:47:42
◼
►
Yeah, so, the other M,
00:47:46
◼
►
music got a very drastic redesign
00:47:51
◼
►
that when I initially saw it, I kind of hated,
00:47:53
◼
►
and then the more I saw it,
00:47:54
◼
►
the more I really grew to love it.
00:47:56
◼
►
It's this big, bold, brash thing,
00:47:58

Whereas before, music was all about tiny touch targets.
00:48:01
◼
►
You had the tiny little mini player
00:48:03
◼
►
and the tiny little buttons.
00:48:05
◼
►
And in order to get your offline songs,
00:48:07
◼
►
you had to tap in the middle of the My Songs thing
00:48:11
◼
►
and then scroll all the way to the bottom
00:48:12
◼
►
and slide over for show offline.
00:48:14
◼
►
It was just awful.
00:48:15
◼
►
And especially, again, we go to the driving thing
00:48:18
◼
►
where it's like Siri works and some people have CarPlay,
00:48:22
◼
►
which is awesome, and some people have Siri hands free,
00:48:24
◼
►
or eyes free, which is awesome.
00:48:26
◼
►
but the vast majority of people are driving cars
00:48:29
◼
►
that do not support either right now.
00:48:31
◼
►
And even though no one wants to encourage
00:48:34
◼
►
touching your phone while driving,
00:48:36
◼
►
there are going to be people who use the music app
00:48:38
◼
►
while they're driving.
00:48:39
◼
►
And the new music app,
00:48:41
◼
►
it's obviously not directly designed for this,
00:48:44
◼
►
but all of the UI is so much bigger
00:48:47
◼
►
and so much easier to use.
00:48:48
◼
►
The font is like 14 or 16 point San Francisco,
00:48:52
◼
►
so it's nice, it's big, it's bold.
00:48:54
◼
►
Everything's been reorganized
00:48:56
◼
►
Pretty much everything from my Apple Music wishlist
00:48:58
◼
►
has been granted.
00:48:59
◼
►
They took out Connect and they put it into For You.
00:49:02
◼
►
There's Discovery Mixes where I don't know where Federico is
00:49:05
◼
►
but I'm kind of like, here, Spotify says,
00:49:08
◼
►
we're gonna do Discovery Mixes and Apple says,
00:49:10
◼
►
no, instead of doing Discovery Mixes,
00:49:12
◼
►
we're not only gonna do a Discovery Mix for you weekly
00:49:14
◼
►
but we're gonna curate your favorited songs
00:49:17
◼
►
so that everything you press like in
00:49:19
◼
►
is gonna go into a mix.
00:49:20
◼
►
And on top of that, we're gonna give you daily mixes.
00:49:23
◼
►
and we're gonna bring back beats like,
00:49:25
◼
►
"If you liked this, then go here."
00:49:28
◼
►
And so all of these things in my hope,
00:49:32
◼
►
and of course I haven't used it yet,
00:49:33
◼
►
so I can't say everything's fixed
00:49:35
◼
►
because Apple Music has many problems
00:49:37
◼
►
and the app design is only a small factor of them,
00:49:41
◼
►
but they're going, I feel like, in the right direction.
00:49:45
◼
►
They're recognizing that people want
00:49:47
◼
►
to see their music library.
00:49:48
◼
►
They're recognizing that people might wanna listen to music
00:49:51
◼
►
when they're offline.
00:49:52
◼
►
They're recognizing that you don't really need four buttons
00:49:56
◼
►
all for Apple Music, and you can probably just do it in one.
00:49:59
◼
►
They're recognizing where curated music makes sense
00:50:02
◼
►
versus automation.
00:50:03
◼
►
And big search button.
00:50:07
◼
►
Big search button is my favorite of all of that.
00:50:10
◼
►
- Guys, thank you so much for joining me.
00:50:12
◼
►
Please give it up for Jason and Ralph.
00:50:14
◼
►
- Thanks, Myke.
00:50:15
◼
►
(audience applauding)
00:50:21
◼
►
All right, I just want to take a moment
00:50:22
◼
►
to thank a couple of more sponsors
00:50:24
◼
►
who are helping out today.
00:50:25
◼
►
I want to thank Mac Mini Cola.
00:50:27
◼
►
Recently, Mac Mini Cola and MacStadium merged
00:50:30
◼
►
to be able to cover the whole market of Mac hosting.
00:50:33
◼
►
As the primary Mac hosting company in the world,
00:50:35
◼
►
customers range from personal servers
00:50:37
◼
►
to huge startup companies.
00:50:39
◼
►
But most importantly of all,
00:50:41
◼
►
they host the Relay FM live stream.
00:50:43
◼
►
They do, and we love them for that.
00:50:45
◼
►
MacStadium has thousands of Macs
00:50:47
◼
►
in five different data centers in Las Vegas,
00:50:49
◼
►
Atlanta, and Dublin.
00:50:51
◼
►
You can rent Mac Minis, Mac Pros,
00:50:52
◼
►
or send in your own hardware.
00:50:54
◼
►
There's no contracts required.
00:50:56
◼
►
A recent push is for continuous integration
00:50:59
◼
►
for both small and very large companies.
00:51:01
◼
►
Like one company has 54 Mac Pros and all flash storage.
00:51:05
◼
►
If you're developing software, they can help.
00:51:07
◼
►
You can talk to Brian, who's here,
00:51:09
◼
►
or visit macstadium.com/relay to learn more about the company
00:51:13
◼
►
and find a discount code for signing up.
00:51:16
◼
►
And also, I want to thank MacPaw.
00:51:17
◼
►
MacPaw are a bunch of ambitious Mac app developers.
00:51:20
◼
►
They're the folks behind CleanMyMac and Gemini.
00:51:23
◼
►
They're also the magicians who launched DevMate,
00:51:26
◼
►
a huge platform for Mac developers,
00:51:28
◼
►
which is indispensable for those who sell apps on their own.
00:51:31
◼
►
You can find out more at macpaw.com.
00:51:33
◼
►
Thank you so much to those lovely companies.
00:51:38
◼
►
Now, we spent a bit of time talking about iOS 10, right?
00:51:44
◼
►
But we haven't spoken about enough of it.
00:51:46
◼
►
And we've already had Federico on stage.
00:51:49
◼
►
So who else do I know that really loves using iOS
00:51:54
◼
►
and loves working on iOS?
00:51:57
◼
►
I think we're gonna need one more thing.
00:51:59
◼
►
Ladies and gentlemen, my co-host of Cortex on Relay FM,
00:52:03
◼
►
Mr. CGP Grey.
00:52:05
◼
►
(audience applauding)
00:52:16
◼
►
Wait for the live photo.
00:52:18
◼
►
Hey everybody, it's great to be here.
00:52:21
◼
►
He's always the showman.
00:52:23
◼
►
Look at this.
00:52:26
◼
►
So, before we start, are you the only person in San Francisco to just come to RelayCon?
00:52:33
◼
►
I might be, I might be.
00:52:34
◼
►
How many of you are here just because of RelayCon?
00:52:38
◼
►
There we go, look at that.
00:52:39
◼
►
Oh, look at that.
00:52:40
◼
►
That was more than I thought.
00:52:41
◼
►
Look at that.
00:52:42
◼
►
Look at that.
00:52:44
◼
►
Every two weeks on cortex we talk about our multi iPad lifestyle
00:52:49
◼
►
Do you think iOS 10 is gonna continue to advance our iPad lifestyle?
00:52:55
◼
►
Okay, listen audience and I need to let you in like behind the scenes of what happened here
00:53:03
◼
►
Look at look at you getting all nervous. You don't know what I'm gonna say, right? So
00:53:07
◼
►
Myke convinced me to come here, you know his
00:53:11
◼
►
Convincing nature as he does and he goes. Oh look don't worry. You don't have to prepare
00:53:16
◼
►
It's gonna be really easy all we're gonna
00:53:19
◼
►
Do is talk about all of the iPad stuff that they're going to discuss at?
00:53:25
◼
►
WWDC not my fault right and so and so we're sitting there
00:53:31
◼
►
I'm sitting next to Myke watching the keynote live and at the point when they're doing all this messages stuff
00:53:39
◼
►
I'm sitting there just thinking oh
00:53:42
◼
►
Looking at my watch, it's very close to the end now.
00:53:47
◼
►
This seems to be their big thing.
00:53:49
◼
►
Nothing is coming.
00:53:51
◼
►
So here we are.
00:53:53
◼
►
I have some things to talk to you about.
00:53:56
◼
►
How excited are you for all the big emoji and bouncing bubbles I'm gonna send you?
00:54:02
◼
►
And the confetti.
00:54:05
◼
►
Like, it's like time to record Korteck.
00:54:10
◼
►
You can't get away from them.
00:54:13
◼
►
If there is, if there's anybody on the Apple accessibility team, I have a feature request.
00:54:21
◼
►
When you toggle that reduce motion setting, it should reduce that kind of motion.
00:54:28
◼
►
You won't be able to escape.
00:54:29
◼
►
No, I will not be able to escape from it.
00:54:32
◼
►
I am slightly the grumpy old man in this situation of sitting there thinking like, am I out of
00:54:39
◼
►
It's the children who are out of touch
00:54:41
◼
►
looking at that so
00:54:44
◼
►
But it is it is I totally agree with Jason from before like it's not for me
00:54:49
◼
►
I'm not gonna be sending you exploding messages
00:54:52
◼
►
But it is it is totally the strategic move for Apple to do like if I was the CEO
00:54:58
◼
►
I would have said you guys have to do this and I have seen on the
00:55:03
◼
►
periphery of my social group
00:55:05
◼
►
People starting to eat away at iMessage, like starting to send me requests about, "Let's not talk on iMessage because I can't send you stickers."
00:55:13
◼
►
So I think they had to do it. They totally had to do it even though it's not for me.
00:55:17
◼
►
I will not be using it, but I will be receiving it.
00:55:20
◼
►
Like me and Federico recently have basically moved all of our communication to Telegram because it does little things like expanding the links and stuff,
00:55:28
◼
►
but it also does stickers and extra emoji and it has weird little apps in it and stuff.
00:55:33
◼
►
So I think it is the right move to make it's just unfortunate when people like me will send things to you
00:55:40
◼
►
All the time there is one thing that I think will help you so, you know the new emoji suggestions
00:55:45
◼
►
Do you think they will help increase your emoji game?
00:55:49
◼
►
You can you know, you can send me some messages you press the little button and you can simply hit
00:55:55
◼
►
I feel like this is for people who don't understand emoji
00:55:59
◼
►
Yeah, that was right. That was exactly my thought when they did the we're gonna write a thing and then we're going to turn it into
00:56:06
◼
►
Indecipherable hieroglyphics for you. I was sitting there thinking
00:56:10
◼
►
Who is this for?
00:56:13
◼
►
Who is this for?
00:56:16
◼
►
Because people I know
00:56:18
◼
►
Who use lots of emojis do not need assistance
00:56:24
◼
►
using more emojis.
00:56:26
◼
►
So it did totally strike me as a,
00:56:30
◼
►
this is how you teach grandpa how to emoji kind of feature.
00:56:34
◼
►
Like listen grandpa, I know you don't know
00:56:35
◼
►
where the emojis go, just press this button
00:56:38
◼
►
and then it will be sent to me.
00:56:39
◼
►
I have a hard time consuming who that's for,
00:56:42
◼
►
but I have to say, it made a hilarious demo.
00:56:45
◼
►
Like it was a real crowd pleaser when they pressed
00:56:47
◼
►
that button, it's like, emojis everywhere.
00:56:50
◼
►
- What do you think about HomeKit?
00:56:52
◼
►
Now, this is maybe the second or third time
00:56:55
◼
►
we've heard about HomeKit WWDC.
00:56:57
◼
►
I know that you are interested
00:56:59
◼
►
in some of the home automation stuff.
00:57:01
◼
►
Did the Home app and some of the additional things
00:57:03
◼
►
that you're trying to do,
00:57:04
◼
►
did that pique your interest in any way?
00:57:06
◼
►
- I feel like you.
00:57:08
◼
►
I feel like I've seen this presentation three times now
00:57:10
◼
►
about how I'm going to live in an amazing automated future.
00:57:13
◼
►
And I'm still just sitting here with my Hue lights
00:57:16
◼
►
to change the colors every once in a while.
00:57:20
◼
►
I mean, I guess now HomeKit has a place that it exists in
00:57:24
◼
►
so that I can hopefully tie things together.
00:57:27
◼
►
But I didn't hear stuff like what I want to hear of,
00:57:30
◼
►
hey, home automation systems,
00:57:33
◼
►
do you know that more than one person lives in a house?
00:57:36
◼
►
Like it's great to trigger the lights to leave when I leave,
00:57:39
◼
►
but like other people are in the house.
00:57:41
◼
►
So like, it doesn't seem like it's some crazy leap
00:57:46
◼
►
to be able to check about which devices are in the house.
00:57:49
◼
►
And if anybody should be able to do it, it's like,
00:57:53
◼
►
I feel there needs to be something with this where
00:57:55
◼
►
you can set up the home to kind of share information
00:57:59
◼
►
between different Apple IDs.
00:58:01
◼
►
Or like, I am here and my wife is here
00:58:03
◼
►
and like other people are visiting.
00:58:05
◼
►
So even if my wife and I leave,
00:58:07
◼
►
everything in the house doesn't shut off.
00:58:09
◼
►
And the guests are just left in the dark
00:58:11
◼
►
and nothing turns on.
00:58:12
◼
►
So it's like I wanted to be interesting,
00:58:16
◼
►
but I kind of thought, it doesn't seem like any more
00:58:19
◼
►
than I can currently do right now.
00:58:23
◼
►
- One of the things that they just flew by in the keynote
00:58:25
◼
►
was Notes collaboration.
00:58:27
◼
►
Now, in my mind, this is the most incredible thing,
00:58:33
◼
►
and we'll all be able to just type simultaneously.
00:58:37
◼
►
- Do you remember, do you remember, Myke,
00:58:40
◼
►
when we were starting Cortex?
00:58:42
◼
►
- And one of my requests was,
00:58:44
◼
►
can we use pages to collaborate?
00:58:46
◼
►
- I said, hell no, we cannot use pages.
00:58:49
◼
►
And we went to Google Docs for a while,
00:58:52
◼
►
but then we both rage quit Google Docs recently.
00:58:54
◼
►
- Yes, we did.
00:58:55
◼
►
- And we used Quip.
00:58:56
◼
►
- Yes, we do.
00:58:57
◼
►
- I would love to use Notes for this stuff.
00:59:00
◼
►
But I mean, I don't know anything about it.
00:59:02
◼
►
I haven't seen anything about it.
00:59:04
◼
►
I haven't seen any product pages.
00:59:06
◼
►
I know that it's a thing that exists.
00:59:09
◼
►
I don't think it's gonna be what I want.
00:59:11
◼
►
Like I think it will just be like
00:59:12
◼
►
kind of Evernote collaboration.
00:59:14
◼
►
One person will do a note, one person will have a note.
00:59:16
◼
►
but maybe with Mrs. Grey would you share notes
00:59:20
◼
►
and like for traveling maybe with me, traveling with me?
00:59:24
◼
►
- And why am I sharing notes with you when I'm traveling?
00:59:27
◼
►
- Because you know, you might want to.
00:59:29
◼
►
Sometimes friends tell each other things,
00:59:33
◼
►
you know, you might wanna let me know
00:59:34
◼
►
what your travel plans are, you know?
00:59:36
◼
►
- I see the hope in your eyes.
00:59:41
◼
►
- You share them with me?
00:59:42
◼
►
- Right, but I think there is going to be
00:59:43
◼
►
disappointment in reality.
00:59:45
◼
►
- Yeah, yeah.
00:59:46
◼
►
if they had built some kind of crazy live collaboration feature, we would have seen
00:59:50
◼
►
it. They would have demoed it. They were like, "Look, two people can talk at the same time
00:59:54
◼
►
on a Notes message." This is like whenever Google did it with Wave a decade ago. But
01:00:01
◼
►
for some reason, someone remembers Wave.
01:00:03
◼
►
Oh, man, Google Wave.
01:00:04
◼
►
Who remembers Wave?
01:00:06
◼
►
Oh, man. I feel like I remember seeing that video and I was like, "This is the future.
01:00:10
◼
►
This is amazing." And they're like, "Oh, I never became that."
01:00:12
◼
►
It really was so good, though.
01:00:13
◼
►
- It looks so cool, it looks so cool.
01:00:15
◼
►
And name for a thing in Firefly,
01:00:17
◼
►
I was like, there's no way this is gonna fail.
01:00:19
◼
►
There's no way.
01:00:20
◼
►
So no, I don't imagine we're gonna be using
01:00:23
◼
►
Notes collaboratively.
01:00:24
◼
►
Like I think it's interesting.
01:00:25
◼
►
I think it's interesting the more they bring into Notes,
01:00:27
◼
►
but again, it's hard for me to see that personally,
01:00:31
◼
►
me using that personally.
01:00:32
◼
►
But what I am going to use is that clipboard everywhere.
01:00:37
◼
►
- Right? - Okay.
01:00:38
◼
►
- 'Cause I have to say, that was like,
01:00:41
◼
►
I was hoping for more iPad stuff,
01:00:43
◼
►
But that universal clipboard is like, this is for me.
01:00:47
◼
►
I have very many devices between which I want to copy
01:00:50
◼
►
and paste things all the time,
01:00:52
◼
►
and I have used many of these clipboard syncing things,
01:00:56
◼
►
but they never quite work right.
01:00:58
◼
►
And so this feels like the platform owner has to do this.
01:01:02
◼
►
Apple has to do this.
01:01:03
◼
►
They can run something that monitors
01:01:05
◼
►
when you copy and paste every time.
01:01:07
◼
►
So I'm actually quite happy about that,
01:01:09
◼
►
being able to move around between five OS devices.
01:01:14
◼
►
Like I wanna be able to do that really simply.
01:01:16
◼
►
- Lots of people know that we obsess,
01:01:20
◼
►
maybe you more than me, over home screen organization.
01:01:24
◼
►
You will now be able to remove the Apple apps
01:01:27
◼
►
that you don't want.
01:01:28
◼
►
Does this make you happy?
01:01:30
◼
►
Oh, look at this, a round of applause in the audience.
01:01:34
◼
►
(audience applauding)
01:01:35
◼
►
- I think I saw someone, someone sent me on Twitter
01:01:39
◼
►
Some message they were like,
01:01:40
◼
►
"Oh, I'll finally be able to get rid of this."
01:01:41
◼
►
And it was a folder with the name, Crapple,
01:01:45
◼
►
and they put in all of their stock apps
01:01:48
◼
►
and all of that kind of stuff.
01:01:49
◼
►
So I throw everything into one folder
01:01:52
◼
►
so I don't see it anyway,
01:01:53
◼
►
but somehow psychologically it does bother me.
01:01:56
◼
►
- You know it's there.
01:01:57
◼
►
It's like the junk drawer.
01:01:58
◼
►
- Yeah, it's like, I know you're there stock app.
01:02:01
◼
►
I fundamentally agree, disagree with your existence.
01:02:03
◼
►
Why would I even want to check the stock this often?
01:02:06
◼
►
Who is this for?
01:02:07
◼
►
I just wanted to go.
01:02:08
◼
►
Yeah, I know it's like just go away stock app and now like it can be gone
01:02:12
◼
►
Except I don't know if you saw there is one app that you cannot uninstall. Do you would you like to take a guess?
01:02:20
◼
►
Tips no, it's news
01:02:24
◼
►
News cannot be uninstalled and my guess is it's because of the spotlight integration, right? That's why they left
01:02:36
◼
►
I spent forever trying to get rid of that thing.
01:02:38
◼
►
But someone sent me that, I was like,
01:02:40
◼
►
you've got to be kidding me.
01:02:41
◼
►
The one app that really needs to go.
01:02:45
◼
►
They're keeping it on there.
01:02:46
◼
►
So not excited about that, but I'll
01:02:49
◼
►
be happy to clear out the rest of them.
01:02:51
◼
►
So we did have one big iPad thing, right?
01:02:54
◼
►
Like I spoke about with Federico and Steven,
01:02:56
◼
►
Swift Playgrounds.
01:02:57
◼
►
What do you think of Swift Playgrounds?
01:03:02
◼
►
While we did not get anything specifically
01:03:05
◼
►
for the iPad.
01:03:07
◼
►
Like that app, that was just super exciting to me
01:03:11
◼
►
because I feel like, okay great,
01:03:13
◼
►
we've cracked this barrier, right?
01:03:17
◼
►
They put Swift on the iPad and so I feel like now
01:03:21
◼
►
it is just inevitable that we are going to be at a WWDC
01:03:25
◼
►
at some point where they're like,
01:03:26
◼
►
guess what we're announcing?
01:03:28
◼
►
It's Xcode for iPhone.
01:03:30
◼
►
Like they're going to do it at some point
01:03:33
◼
►
And what I was really interested to see is,
01:03:36
◼
►
I watched the developer State of the Union,
01:03:39
◼
►
I think they call it,
01:03:40
◼
►
and they have done a fantastic job
01:03:44
◼
►
of helping the user to input code.
01:03:49
◼
►
They were demoing their special code keyboard,
01:03:51
◼
►
they were demoing the snippets that were doing
01:03:54
◼
►
like auto-filling functions as you're typing.
01:03:56
◼
►
The guy was showing about how he was able to change
01:03:58
◼
►
all of these parameters in his example app
01:04:00
◼
►
without ever even having to pull up the keyboard
01:04:02
◼
►
to have it go up the screen.
01:04:04
◼
►
Like I was just super impressed by that.
01:04:07
◼
►
And I have to say that I am,
01:04:09
◼
►
I don't know if a room full of developers
01:04:12
◼
►
will agree with me, but I think programming
01:04:16
◼
►
is a unique skill.
01:04:18
◼
►
And the more people that you can get to do this, the better.
01:04:23
◼
►
Like it is a thing that if you have interest in it,
01:04:27
◼
►
you can start yourself down a path
01:04:31
◼
►
that can lead anywhere.
01:04:33
◼
►
Like you can build things that other people will use.
01:04:37
◼
►
And what I was really happy to see is that
01:04:39
◼
►
those Swift playgrounds, while they're not full apps,
01:04:44
◼
►
a kid could pick that up and make something
01:04:47
◼
►
that does something on an iPad
01:04:51
◼
►
just playing around with Swift.
01:04:52
◼
►
And that's what I think is the big deal.
01:04:54
◼
►
Like okay, now they can at least see what it is
01:04:58
◼
►
and then if they're really into it,
01:05:00
◼
►
they have a reason to transition to grandpa Mac
01:05:03
◼
►
to finish up their development,
01:05:06
◼
►
but like you're getting them started.
01:05:08
◼
►
And to me, that's the biggest deal.
01:05:09
◼
►
So I'm super happy about that.
01:05:12
◼
►
I am super happy about it.
01:05:13
◼
►
- I do wish that we got more iPad stuff though.
01:05:16
◼
►
- I know, I'm very sad.
01:05:17
◼
►
I'm holding out, I'm holding out hope.
01:05:20
◼
►
- For like 10.1?
01:05:21
◼
►
- Because, because we did have that 9.3.
01:05:25
◼
►
- And so what I kept at least telling myself,
01:05:27
◼
►
like on the sad walk back to the hotel,
01:05:29
◼
►
like no iPad and oh god what are we going to discuss?
01:05:33
◼
►
Myke is, oh Myke.
01:05:35
◼
►
- Oh I was so mad.
01:05:38
◼
►
- But I was thinking on the way back,
01:05:40
◼
►
since they introduced that multi-user thing in 9.3,
01:05:45
◼
►
I thought I can put my hopes into
01:05:50
◼
►
maybe new Apple releases more features throughout the year,
01:05:53
◼
►
maybe I won't have to wait an entire year
01:05:57
◼
►
to see if they change the little task switcher,
01:06:00
◼
►
the app switcher on the side, which is the worst,
01:06:02
◼
►
which is the absolute worst.
01:06:04
◼
►
Like, I love having two apps on my iPad.
01:06:06
◼
►
I do not love changing that second one.
01:06:10
◼
►
No, it is terrible.
01:06:10
◼
►
- I was hoping that like, they just did it,
01:06:13
◼
►
right, just didn't tell anyone.
01:06:14
◼
►
- They just, you're right.
01:06:15
◼
►
- I was like, I got a few people to check, but it's not true.
01:06:17
◼
►
I was like, oh, why don't you just do it?
01:06:18
◼
►
- Yeah, I immediately was looking at that slide
01:06:20
◼
►
where they post all the little things, and I was like,
01:06:22
◼
►
come on, there's gotta be new app switcher,
01:06:23
◼
►
come on, come on, oh no.
01:06:25
◼
►
We were sitting there looking at it together, zooming in,
01:06:27
◼
►
but that's it.
01:06:29
◼
►
Gray, thank you so much.
01:06:30
◼
►
Oh, what is this?
01:06:31
◼
►
- So Myke, I have a mystery box for you.
01:06:34
◼
►
- Do you notice the mystery box?
01:06:35
◼
►
- No, I don't know what it is.
01:06:36
◼
►
- Okay, so here we go, everybody.
01:06:38
◼
►
I brought a mystery box for Myke.
01:06:39
◼
►
Because Myke, look at you, you're so nervous right now.
01:06:44
◼
►
- I know what he's doing.
01:06:45
◼
►
- Myke genuinely has been very convincing of me to come.
01:06:52
◼
►
He's been very nice.
01:06:53
◼
►
He set everything up.
01:06:55
◼
►
And I think he tonight has put on a fantastic event
01:07:01
◼
►
for everybody who's come here.
01:07:03
◼
►
Can we all agree?
01:07:04
◼
►
Can we all agree?
01:07:05
◼
►
(audience applauding)
01:07:09
◼
►
Look at that guy.
01:07:09
◼
►
Look at that guy.
01:07:10
◼
►
Now, also, look how stylish he is, isn't he?
01:07:17
◼
►
He's just incredibly stylish.
01:07:19
◼
►
So I happened to see a little while ago something that I thought would be an excellent thank
01:07:27
◼
►
you gift from me for bringing me out here for arranging everything.
01:07:30
◼
►
And if I may be so bold, you all get in on the gift too, right?
01:07:34
◼
►
It's a thank you from you for arranging this event.
01:07:36
◼
►
So Myke, would you like to see what I got you?
01:07:39
◼
►
How do I open it?
01:07:41
◼
►
You open it up.
01:07:42
◼
►
Oh, it's a lovely bow tie.
01:07:44
◼
►
Look at that.
01:07:45
◼
►
It is the most hipster bow tie in the world.
01:07:49
◼
►
- Made of wood. - Because it is made of wood.
01:07:52
◼
►
(audience applauding)
01:07:56
◼
►
- I'm gonna put this on in a minute.
01:07:57
◼
►
- And you know what I cannot believe?
01:08:00
◼
►
It matches your outfit.
01:08:02
◼
►
When I saw you wearing that yellow shirt,
01:08:03
◼
►
there's yellow stripes on this bow tie,
01:08:05
◼
►
I was like, it was meant to be.
01:08:08
◼
►
- I will put a picture in the show notes
01:08:10
◼
►
of me wearing the bow tie.
01:08:11
◼
►
- Fantastic. - Thank you, Grey.
01:08:13
◼
►
Thank you so much, man.
01:08:14
◼
►
- Thank you, man. - Thank you.
01:08:18
◼
►
Steven, come back up here.
01:08:19
◼
►
Just before we wrap up, I want to say just one quick thing.
01:08:29
◼
►
My first WWDC, our first WWDC, was four years ago.
01:08:35
◼
►
And we went to an event in this gallery, the Mina Gallery.
01:08:42
◼
►
And that night, I met a bunch of people
01:08:45
◼
►
that I am now lucky enough to call friends
01:08:48
◼
►
and people that I work with.
01:08:49
◼
►
So this means an awful lot to me.
01:08:52
◼
►
So thank you for doing this.
01:08:55
◼
►
Thank you all for coming.
01:08:56
◼
►
Thanks everyone for listening.
01:08:59
◼
►
I wanna thank our volunteers,
01:09:01
◼
►
as well we have a bunch of amazing volunteers this evening.
01:09:03
◼
►
- Yeah, we've got a bunch of volunteers in the back
01:09:05
◼
►
who helped check you all in
01:09:06
◼
►
and make sure everyone was stayed safe,
01:09:07
◼
►
so thank you very much.
01:09:09
◼
►
(audience applauding)
01:09:11
◼
►
- Thanks to all of our guests
01:09:13
◼
►
that have joined up and on the stage of us tonight.
01:09:16
◼
►
Thank you again to all of our sponsors out there.
01:09:19
◼
►
Thank you all for listening.
01:09:21
◼
►
Have a great week and we'll see you next time.
01:09:25
