123: WWDC 2018 Aftermath: The year of FINALLY and why! Jun 09, 2018

Show notes

Finally!

That's what I found myself almost yelling out — over and over again during WWDC 2018. It was one of those years where it felt like Apple worked its way down my wishlist, crossing things off one after the other.

Better third-party Siri integration. Finally.
CarPlay with Google Maps and Waze. Finally.
Grouped Notifications. Finally.
App limits for kids. Finally.
Group FaceTime. Finally.
Activity Challenges. Finally
WebKit views on Watch. Finally.
Podcast app and background audio for Watch. Finally.
Dolby Atmos for Apple TV. Finally.
Dark mode for Mac. Finally.
Screen recording integrated with screenshots. Finally.
News, Stocks, Voice Memos, and Home for Mac. Finally.
Mac App Store redesign. Finally.

It was the biggest finally fest since... I don't know... iOS 4? But beyond the finally, there was a lot that happened that I think will either make lives better today or prove critical tomorrow. Here's what... and why!
