My squirrelly way of hoarding files will finally make its way to iPad, too
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:58:46 PM
"Can also take the folder and drag it right in to my favorites."
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:58:55 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:59:17 PM
Can browse cloud file folders in Files- that's cool. See what other accounts like Box have in them

Now talking about Apple Pencil
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:59:45 PM
iPad updates are "get to my stuff faster"

"With iOS 11 we've integrated it deeply in the system."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:00:06 PM
Markup with any app the supports printing

"We know a lot of people do like to share with screenshots. When you create a screenshot, we create a thumbnail at the bottom of the screen. When you tap it, you go into markups."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 7:00:38 PM
Markup can be used on files, and can create a PDF on the fly to markup. Screenshots, for instance.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:00:52 PM
(Well, we've hit the 2 hour mark and still have one more big piece of news left, per Cook)

"Notes now has a built-in document scanner."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 7:01:30 PM
Apple can search your handwriting for content. Also, Notes can scan in documents. Another Evernote replacement move
James Martin 6/5/2017 7:01:32 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:01:33 PM
"And we've integrated markup into Mail as well so you can personalize your mail messages with in-line drawings."

Toby Paterson, head of iPad engineering, is here to give us another demo
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:01:55 PM
A demo in a demo
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 7:02:20 PM
Notes now a pop-up feature from the iPad lock screen. Pencil brings up note-taking mode, fast. Clever
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:02:23 PM
I can say my handwriting right now would be illegible. So. Tired. Of. Typing.
James Martin 6/5/2017 7:02:35 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:02:56 PM
Apparently the new keyboard is called the "Flick keyboard."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 7:03:01 PM
My handwriting is pretty bad. Pretty...pretty bad.
James Martin 6/5/2017 7:03:02 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:03:07 PM
maybe? or at least that's what Paterson said
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 7:03:26 PM
Not to keep drawing these comparisons (no pun intended), but many big PC makers are also going all-in on high-end stylus experiences.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:03:30 PM
On a side note, Apple had a lot of new faces on stage at WWDC. Was refreshing, yet I know how to spell very few of their names. haha

Microsoft has a new $99 stylus launching alongside the new Surface Pro later this month (it also works on the Surface Laptop), and Samsung made a big deal of pairing its passive stylus with the new Windows-powered Galaxy Book hybrid.
James Martin 6/5/2017 7:04:58 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 7:05:01 PM
Seems like Pencil is being thrust point-forward to the front of iPad Pro experience.
James Martin 6/5/2017 7:05:28 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:05:47 PM
Federighi is back up
dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 7:05:47 PM
It's worth noting both of those examples are essentially direct competitors to the iPad Pro+pencil+keyboard.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:06:05 PM
"We're really excited about what we're doing with iPad this year and really excited about iOS 11 this year."
James Martin 6/5/2017 7:06:05 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:06:22 PM
Developer beta of iOS 11 available today. Everyone else gets it in the fall
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:06:39 PM
(note, them saying fall confirms we'll see the next iPhone then. iOS and phone come at the same time)
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:06:44 PM
Tim Cook is back up
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 7:06:49 PM
That looks like all for iPad. No new accessories. I like the dock and the added file search. Not huge IMO, necessarily, but very very useful.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 7:06:55 PM
... For a video (could this keynote be any longer?)
