Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:27:55 PM2019. Another year, no watch face store
-
dan.ackerman 6/3/2019 5:28:03 PMI can't stand the "sports band" or whatever they call that rubbery thing you tuck under. But the other bands are insanely expensive -- I got a $12 one from Amazon -- magnetic loop version, and so far it's great.

Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:28:14 PMNow time to talk about iOS, Cook says. Last year, we got iOS 12, with faster performance, Memoji, screen time, etc.It had 97% customer satisfaction. And adoption rate is large -- 85% of iOS customers are on latest release. And iOS 12 has been installed on more systems than ever.Cook mentions that Android 9, by comparison, just has 10% adoption.

Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:28:37 PM(Cook has been throwing shade at Android for several years now -- and the adoption data is easy to hit on)
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:28:43 PMIt is iOS 13 time. Hair Force One is on stage, looking sharp

-
dan.ackerman 6/3/2019 5:28:50 PMFragmentation is a particular pet peeve of mine. That's why Apple wins in so many of these key categories. It's not just a usability and features issue, it's a security issue.
-
James Martin 6/3/2019 5:29:12 PM
-
Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:29:13 PMCraig Federighi (who has sometimes gone by "Hair Force One") announces iOS 13.
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:29:25 PMiOS 13: Apple boldly stands in the face of unlucky numbers
-
Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:29:37 PMUnlock with Face ID is 30% faster now with iOS 13, Federighi says.
-
James Martin 6/3/2019 5:29:42 PM
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:29:43 PMFaster Face ID, which is helpful.
-
James Martin 6/3/2019 5:29:54 PM
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:30:03 PMApp updates smaller? My cell bill thanks you
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:30:20 PMFaster app launch excites me less
-
Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:30:22 PMAlso, App Store downloads will be 50% smaller, and updates will be 60% smaller. (I wonder if Facebook's blue app will measure up)Also, launch speed is 2x faster. Lots of cheers there.
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:30:57 PMWe are undersea in jellyfish land. Dark Mode
-
Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:31:09 PMAnd a new feature -- which we get a video for. Neon jellyfish in a dark background. Can you guess?
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:31:23 PMDark Mode produces tons of cheers.
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:31:31 PMAnd one squeal
-
Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:31:37 PMiOS 13 will have a dark mode. Federighi decides to demo it. Someone screams in excitement. "All right!" Federighi responds.
-
James Martin 6/3/2019 5:31:53 PM
-
dan.ackerman 6/3/2019 5:31:54 PMAnd let's not forget that dark mode can have potential positive battery life implications for OLED displays.
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:31:57 PMMy watch has been in Dark Mode for years

Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:32:52 PMFederighi: "Your daily events never looked so awesome."I have a feeling he's being a little sarcastic about how life-changing dark mode is.Oh, but he also announces the keyboard has a swipe-typing feature.
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:32:55 PMSwiping comes to the built in keyboard now, btw

-
dan.ackerman 6/3/2019 5:33:11 PMAh, Apple-official swipe typing. This is actually the best thing at the show, for real.
-
James Martin 6/3/2019 5:33:18 PM
-
dan.ackerman 6/3/2019 5:33:43 PMI can't handle any kind of phone non-swipe typing, tapping letter by letter is incomprehensible to me.

-
Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:33:54 PMFederighi says iOS 13 will also have sharing suggestions in the new share sheet, based on who you typically share with. And of course, the music app will have time-synced lyrics.
-
Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:34:00 PMI’ve been reading in Dark Mode on Kindle, I prefer it. Many apps have Dark Mode already. (Will iOS 13 shift to it automatically at night?)
