Hi how are you thank you for joining us

we're here to talk about all things

Apple here at usay today I'm Caitlin

pitz and I'm going to be talking with

Felicia Wellington Rell our senior

reporter for Tech and culture how are

you doing

Felicia doing all right doing all right

doing my very best I know you live

blogging our Apple worldwide developer

conference keynote this morning which

just wrapped up about an hour ago um

it's it's a lot they're they crammed a

lot in two hours for us today so we're

gonna have a conversation about all of

it run through what the highlights were

for you we're currently streaming on Tik

Tok X and YouTube so please be sure to

leave your questions comments smart

remarks and we'll bring them up during

the

stream so oh my gosh where do we start

head was kind of spinning when I was

watching that I think in the beginning

for the first time we really got some

teasers about what we would be

discussing like AI Siri things like that

but let's let's go for fun right what

was your absolute favorite announcement

from the the keynote

today what if I said that it was that

calculator is coming to iPad listen A

lot happened but I might have started

cheering out loud might have tears of

joy at hearing that calculator will be

on iPad and it's not just a port there's

all sorts of updates but we can get into

that exactly exactly I think that was a

big one for a lot of people I don't

think you are alone I'm not gonna shame

you for that

answer please let us know if that was

your favorite as well so we feel like we

have a community uh another one of my

favorites though was the Emoji tapback

that they're adding to messages so

tapback for those may not know is when

you can press and hold respond with a

thumbs up a haha you know all those

little reactions now they're going to

add in emoji so I will just be able to

send a skull message when somebody makes

me laugh so hard I can't respond in any

other way I like it it's going to be a

little more succinct be nice for Me In

the Heat of the Moment as we said though

so many things uh I'm going to propose

that we go and end to front right so

let's go start with what they really

spent the bulk of their time talking

about which in very Apple fashion is a

rebranding of something we all talk

about a lot anyway and that is AI

artificial intelligence when theyed when

they introduced it today though exactly

we gave that a brand new name according

to Tim Cook and Craig Craig federi which

is Apple intelligence

I don't know how to feel about that but

you know that's what it stands for I

don't make the rules I'm not one to bet

against Apple in their nomenclature

right like we call things iPhones that

are not to this day so I think this will

probably take off crazily enough when we

hold users across LinkedIn X and YouTube

we pulled USA Today users uh more than

60% of people on each of those platforms

said that they really saw an opportunity

for AI to improve Siri and Siri's

capabilities and I guess Apple agreed

now is the time right I agreed that like

now okay let's uh give it some updates

right so can you kind of give us like a

Topline what did we hear about what is

Apple

intelligence I mean it's so many things

right isn't that what AI always stood

for um no all jokes aside I mean um I

think it was expected that Apple would

be talking quite a bit about AI their

work with AI there was rumors about chat

GPT and how they might use that um as

you pointed out people in the poll were

talking about possible use cases with

Siri and really wanting to see an update

there and that makes the most sense um

we've had this virtual assistant for

years some people use it more than

others sometimes it's questionable

sometimes it's a great help and I think

people just saw an opportunity for to be

a little bit more useful or to be a

little bit more intelligent uh in how it

responds to what people want it to do um

so I mean obviously there was more than

Siri um there was just a lot about how I

could offer highlights a lot of the ways

that'll be integrated across other apps

we can we will continue to break that

down of course but I like starting with

Siri because people asked for it and

here it is and they they looked um there

are many ways that they're they're

they're updating Siri just to be able to

access your information your data or try

to have a better context for what you're

looking for and then seamlessly was

thrown around a lot um be able to bring

that to people on devices and it's also

going to be available not just on iPhone

but across uh their other products as

well which was interesting I thought it

would just start on iPhone and not be

readily available in the other software

updates but it sounds like it will be um

so yeah that's that's like the high I'm

I'm going to try trying and be so

General no offense to anyone but there

is so much that it's like please see our

link for our deeper coverage because

there were so many details that I think

some people may find really helpful and

some people may actually find

overwhelming so that's the one thing to

remember right we're talking about what

Apple calls WWDC and that D very plainly

stands for developers this is geared

toward those who want to understand more

about the software who want to know

exact what is under the hood in terms of

software how it's going to build for the

next generation of devices right so we

don't get Hardware we don't get products

at this keynote that is not what this is

for that is what usually September that

iPhone event is really geared toward and

built around we get to see that next new

iPhone here however we get to run wild

with speculation we get to look at

here's what they're going to introd

here's how we're going to use our iPhone

differently and from there we can kind

of extrapolate this is what the new

iPhone iPad watch are going to look like

so for those who want to dive into that

nitty-gritty yes please go to

usa.com follow along with that live

coverage we're going to be consistently

updating a lot of these pieces to share

with you what we learn throughout this

week because the conference is a week

long we do get more information as that

continues overall like you mentioned

Felicia Siri was the underlining

component of Apple intelligence there's

a lot of contextual changes right

there's uh when you're asking requests

better understanding of some misspoken

words or probably jargon you can ask

contextual excuse me

followup word speaking of misspoken

words you can ask contextual follow-up

questions

without having to repeat your previous

request right so something like what

time is my appointment at the dentist

where is the dentist those might be

things you can string together to ask

Siri which is great I think my favorite

update though with Siri is that I no

longer have to speak my voice command or

request there will be an option for me

to type that in which is awesome it kind

of is a a better level of accessibility

in my opinion whether you don't want to

whether you cannot whether you aren't in

a position to speak to Siri this is a

great new addition in my opinion I

overwhelmingly and this is definitely a

me thing use Siri through my Apple watch

um I've find it easier just to speak

into my watch I find that I'm using it

as it's currently intended more there

than I ever have on my iPhone or other

devices I actually with these updates

may be more inclined to use it on my

phone just to see what it can do or to

see how what the ad uses uh there

especially if I can I don't have to talk

to it like this um and then have it

misunderstand me anyway so that should

be interesting I will say that the

underline for me with a lot of this but

in particular here will be uh some of

the Privacy a lot of Privacy Information

was announced and it will be added there

there's going to be all new like there's

a lot of privacy changes coming along

with these updates in particular ones

that have to do with apple intelligence

and that's great but I'd also like to

read some of the fine print um one of

the things that's coming along with this

Siri and apple intelligence is that

partnership that was teased with chat

gbt we can talk more about it but

ultimately it's supposed to ask some

permission every time it opts to use

chat GPT to supplement an answer and I'd

like to see what that means exactly as

opposed to some of the demos that were

given like on the surface it sounds cool

but I want to ensure that my data is

protected um as promised thank you thank

you for saying that thank you for

reiterating that before the keynote even

started people spotted Sam Alman at the

event so we knew there was going to be

that let's say it confirmed what we had

already been long rumored had already

been suspected was that partnership with

um chat G with open AI using chat G PT

40 I always want to say zero it's

40 and we've now seen how that will

integrate a bit more in iOS 18 iPad OS

and then Mac OS

Sequoia and it sounds as

though apple is really striving to use

apple intelligence to serve your

requests to answer your questions right

there on your device when it can and

there may be inst es where it

requires let's say the internet of

intelligence it requires to use chat gbt

to answer longer form things the example

they gave was if I have these

ingredients make me a recipe and for

that it will reach out to Jet GPT and

like you said is theoretically going to

prompt us to send that information to

chat GPT servers if I'm correct and as

you said

who knows if that will happen with each

request I will be very interested in

knowing if that is a single serve or a

you need to ask me every time for

permission I can see people on both

sides wanting one or the other if

privacy is important to those of you who

are watching across our platforms please

give us a comment let us know how you

feel about that and whether or not you

think that's really an important thing

for Apple to speak more about because

we're definitely interested in learning

more about

that go ahead I was just saying I think

transparency is key so that's why I'm I

yearn more information there exactly I

was just saying that wasn't the only

Apple intelligence updates that we got

we learned about their writing tools as

they call it uh

which as a writer and journalist those

are writer both

incredible powerful but also

kind of a little strange to me they feel

a little interesting I'm um I'll be

interested in seeing how they work but

not ready to form an opinion yet can you

tell us a bit more about what tools they

talked about today yeah so um Apple

intelligence extends to writing um there

will be tools that are built in that

really aren't unlike some of the plugins

you can get now things that will maybe

help you in your email um to maybe

summarize it prioritize information uh

they have little tones so if you're like

oh help me rewrite something there's a

rewrite function you could say

professional tone friendly tone um those

do exist in some software I actually

don't know if this is universal I use

you know Microsoft tools for work and

those can actually do that as well but

um I don't know how much use people will

get out of some of those maybe they'll

find it incredibly useful um you know

again as a professional writer I have

questions and I'd like to see um but I

also

um I just have to go back a little bit

this is something that also comes up

with like Siri when I said highlights

before I meant highlights with a capital

H they are introducing these highlights

to things the things that will help with

those summaries that will help give

context or answers to your questions

like the ones you asked Siri and much

like I had the same concern with AI

overviews what Google recently um

announced and updated their Google

searches with

um I worry about um the context actually

being correct or appropriate and that

extends to some of the writing I think

it seems pretty simple for the robots in

the cloud to just tidy up your writing

and I think in some instances it will

but in other instances will I get it

correct um furthermore um when it comes

to writing in general um I wonder what

this will mean for the parents the

students the teachers in the room um who

who now have to think about all the kids

that are not just kids but all the

students that may be writing and then

using the these Apple intelligence or

any AI tools to maybe not just write for

them but just edit their writing you

lose things like voice you lose things

like context and I wonder how they will

be able to it's police the right word

like how do you how do you grade that

what is going to be the recommendation I

assume this makes it much harder for

teachers but also for the parents of

younger students what are we supposed to

tell them what are we supposed to watch

for um on the surface all of this sounds

incredible but I think it just also

raises more questions on how exactly

that fits into a landscape that is

already struggling to I think adjust to

how the digital world meets like that

the educational

expectations right how do we practically

incorporate this and I think one of our

YouTube commenters diesel star99 said if

Apple adds AI to messages and tries to

recommend text and suggest things like

Gmail does I think they'll fully send me

back to just calling people on a cheap

dumb phone I'm

exhausted I don't disagree Hazel star

but I also really interested in to see

how powerful it can be I think that it's

almost easier sometimes to respond with

a quick message or a quick prompt and

things like that uh in situations where

that's not Paramount to me it's not

imperative that I provide this person a

lengthy explanation or novel I

really I don't know I already struggle

myself with my tone and the perception

others have of my writing I don't know

that I would like to hand that over to

Apple intelligence I don't know know

that that will be something I will do on

a regular basis but we'll see how great

it can be we'll see so out of all that

those were not kind of the only updates

that Apple talked about we really in the

beginning got a look at some of the fun

new things coming to alongside Apple

Intelligence coming to iOS 18 iPad OS

and the new customization the new

changes that we have there what was was

actually intriguing and exciting there

besides the calculator that you that we

saw and that we got to look at for the

new os's on our mobile devices so I

can't say calculator can I say the

parkour not the parkour the par I'm

jumping out not the I'm jump come on I

love those things what come on Hair

Force One is so much fun and the fact

that he truly leans into the Persona

from jumping out of a plane at the

beginning of today's keynote to having a

stunt double do parkour around the Apple

Spaceship I like it I like when they

Infuse the fun it prevents things from

getting super

boring it's a little stilted and weird

sometimes but I think that's why we

enjoy it I love it um so I get it people

are GNA say but this existed Elsewhere

for for years months Etc I still enjoy

that um they they saw what was on the

landscape and they said okay now we're

integrating it and I just want to see

what that means I'm not mad at it I'm

not saying well here's where the bar is

or here's where the finish line is so a

lot of these customizations in

particular to control center I'm

interested in seeing and seeing

if if it matters to me does that make

sense that I like that I like the way

you asked that I also want to know if it

will truly change how I use that device

or how I interact with some of those

things exactly yeah so a lot of times

I'm like yes I'm glad you added a thing

that existed but then the reality is

sometimes I get it and it's like I'm

dreaming of making it my aesthetic all

the purple or you know this photo or

that and then I just want to see what

that really means when I get my hands on

it on how much I change it or if it

changes how I interact with any apps or

other customizations and so I do use the

control center quite a bit and I have it

has never really mattered to me that

deeply I'm just like notifications you

know quick access to XYZ um and the fact

that they're going to be able you're

going to be able they are opening it I

should say to more third party um

abilities and so I can see down the row

what exactly that meant if third party

developers added some things if I've

changed up like let's say the action

button away from video to something else

I do want to just play around and see if

it completely changes how I think of my

device and I'm saying device it'll be

available like a lot of these things are

coming to not only iOS 18 but other ones

I am pretty much think thinking of just

my iPhone what exactly does this mean on

the device I carry around the most and I

use the most um and they also went into

some of the apps that they're updating

which I again we can get into some more

a little bit high level because hey WWDC

is like a week and we have like 30

minutes so we can't do absolutely

everything but yeah I just high level

overview there were updates M messages

and emails as well as they layered on

later the Apple intelligence updates to

those but things like we mentioned the

tapbacks uh there are scheduled message

sends I am very excited for this as

somebody who frequently forgets things

as someone who struggles with time

blindness I am very excited for

scheduled messages and text formatting

So within your messages you can format

bold italics we saw some movement um in

examples I like it it's tiny it's silly

but thanks you know I think that'll be

something I will use too often I'm sure

I mean it's exactly what I was kind

of worry of when it comes to the writing

and apple intelligence about how it

might strip out voice these are the

things that let you add in personality

so if you want to write all in italics I

don't know why you're screaming but hey

you know you can do that and I do think

it's important to allow people to

express themselves a little bit more

which is why when I hear things like and

we will decide your voice for you it's

like no just accept your voice if your

voice is all exclamation points then

that is who you are and that is totally

fine and don't let a robot take that

away from you so true I I probably won't

use italics all the time but uh you know

Emoji a lot of scheduled messages are

for sure yeah yeah exactly uh there also

one person on LinkedIn David Murphy

called out that you wanted Maps they

wanted maps to be updated and sure

enough details there uh including hiking

routes which is pretty fun and you could

save routes across all the national

parks which is nice that won't come into

effect until fall when some of them are

closed but we good for the future I'm

sure and I hope they remain updated like

I was really excited to hear that um but

I also just hope that I mean this isn't

just an apple issue this is all virtual

Maps everywhere all the time that are

relying upon satellites and people going

out in cars and on foot so I get it you

can't know exactly what's happening on

say my street or in my local park at all

times but I think you know if those are

things that are especially hiking routes

or those National Park ones are

regularly updated and maintained they

could just really be an asset to the

people are hoping to explore those areas

absolutely uh and then finally the Apple

pay now gets your Apple wallet now getss

tapped to pay so you can send Apple cash

Apple money whatever nomenclature

they're using now to pay somebody

without needing to connect their account

figure out their email for zel or have

their phone number for Apple pay for

Apple cash so I like that as somebody

who frequently needs to uh you know pay

for dinner when we go on a big group I

like that that could be nice

sorry I reacted with big if true so I'm

really excited about it I think it's a

great feature um again all of my

questions about privacy and how it will

work in action do come to play I might

also be like I want to see two people do

it first before I you know put my own

Financial uh you know information out

there yes very smart very smart but no I

I think it's a great ad so then on top

of that for iPad OS for upcoming changes

there the aforementioned calculator

W and hand inand with that is math notes

which I said in our chat if this had

been around when I was a kid I might

have enjoyed Math More not just because

what they showed off is that it'll

do math equations for you but the way in

which it can adapt and change could be

really fun and interesting

I definitely was interested in that

again I was happy to see that calculator

wasn't just a and it's here now

and you're welcome it was more like

honestly this was the one where I felt

like it had the most educational

application like maybe they started

thinking of what is needed from an

educational standpoint and they put that

in there so yes it can help you

calculate things but it also I think

could be a great asset to learning

mathematics um and then getting people

more involved by using the technology

that's available a lot of schools do

have either Chromebooks or iPads and so

if they have iPads they might take

advantage of being able to use maybe you

know the math notes and those tools

within those iPads um in an educational

setting and I thought that was pretty

exciting I nerded out personally but I I

just immediately saw how that might have

you know a lot of it would it could

really enhance um I think math learning

and I think that's a lot of fun yeah I

agree

I fun really underscored of their

updates there for iPad it's not just the

math notes but also smart script in

notes where they're really trying to

copy your handwriting I take long form

notes a lot not just in a in a journal

but also on my iPad and it's fascinating

to think that there are some new editing

tools possible there's some new ways to

play around with that that may make it a

lot easier for me to when I'm learning

or in class um rewrite through that

including new transcription so recording

and transcribing for you in a meeting

which I thought could be really powerful

again as a professional writer we love

something that helps you transcribe um

and then just also I also take a lot of

long form notes um sometimes I'll use

notebook sometimes I'll use my iPad and

I I especially liked that they spent

little time not a lot but a lot of this

sounds like they're really going to be

deep enhancements to free form um the

notes app is fine but I do quite like

how you can use free form and maybe mind

map a little bit more or really

brainstorm and a lot of these seem to

add to just more features there or more

abilities there and being able to make

more use of that app which is pretty

exciting that'll be very

interesting um with just a few minutes

left I want to do a call out anybody on

YouTube to or ex that is watching that

has any questions comments smart remarks

for us leave them below we'll try and

get to those when we have some time

we're gonna uh finish up with covering

some of the Topline updates from Mac OS

and vision OS and watch OS I don't I I

think for those who are interested in

Vision OS we're going to see more this

week there'll be more about that coming

out of some of those developer courses

and things uh more apps being built more

changes on the horizon it's still in its

infancy it's about four or five months

old now and so not a whole lot was

really gone over today other than some

quick mentions of hey this things exists

and it's still cool don't worry we know

it's still there which was good that's

that's always an important shout out

from Apple and Apple tv plus got a

similar one I did not know that Apple TV

plus is five years old and that made me

really

reflective it's interesting how it's

five and yet I haven't aged at all so

thank you I'm not really sure how that

works but well time Stood Still for a

little bit there too so that was pretty

interesting uh in Mac OS sooa coming

soon it gets a lot of the same features

from IOS from iPad OS the maps the math

notes it does interestingly add a couple

things uh like passwords in an app so

your passwords your Verification codes

your pass keys will now all be held in a

passwords app I wasn't really clear if

that will be across iOS iPad as well but

I think that's expected I think they're

removing it's currently if you use um if

you keep your passwords and you save

them it's within um your settings it's

like buried in there and you can so it's

almost seems to me how they described it

as if they're pulling it all out making

in an app um because that's already

currently available across devices if

you want it to be got it that makes

sense it also across devices speaking of

add iing which is really really

interesting has a lot of as you called

out privacy implications we'll see how

it really truly interacts uh can you

give us kind of a quick oneliner of what

iPhone mirroring will mean here yeah so

um currently there's already some

continuity between devices if you opt in

for that uh for your iPhone you can now

completely mirror what's on your iPhone

so for instance notifications can come

across your Mac your laptop say and you

can click on it and it will open up your

iPhone app so it is actually accessing

your iPhone and bringing it there you

can pull up the apps you can see what

you're doing and um within the demo they

talked about how your iPhone itself like

what is it doing it will remain locked

and it's you know supposed to be private

one can see what's going on um you're

just mirroring it on your your Mac or

you know your computer and so again I'd

like to see how that works exactly and

what that means and if that means that

someone I don't know I just I have

questions about what that means for

people who might be inappropriately

accessing your device without your

knowledge but um we'll see when it comes

out on exactly how it works but yeah so

iPhone mirroring it's basically building

on some of the continuity that they are

already have um and just really taking

advantage I think of what's available on

an iPhone and bringing it to your laptop

for the people who are maybe working

with both

devices we'll see as with so many things

when they introduce software and we

don't get to play with it yet we'll see

how that goes we'll see how that works

uh there were also a handful of a

handful of watch o

updates uh really focused around Health

right so focused on health workouts a

new vitals app that will kind of um in

theory take a look at your holistic

health across some of these tracking

apps as well as a new was it a new part

of Fitness or maybe a new app that was

really going to monitor your training

load they said so for those who are

maybe striving to run a marathon you can

track how you're improving toward that

goal you can track how

fast and how well you've been doing

toward that goal how hard or easy your

workouts may be on a regular basis as

somebody who will probably never run a

marathon but does like to rock climb and

play soccer I think that could be

interesting for seeing how difficult uh

a day is for

me yeah I mean I know they need more

details they didn't really go in depth

this was all about Apple intelligence

Siri and some of the other features um

but what it sounds like is while some of

it is new um like the whole vitals app

it sounds a lot more like they are

reorganizing how it collects data or how

it presents it to you and how you can

Define your goals which I think is

really helpful um especially if you are

using your Apple watch a lot and you

want to be able to better use what it

tells you or what it's calculating I

think that could go a long way and

that's the vibe I got I could be wrong

but within the small amount of time that

they spent on it that's what I was

hearing that it was going to allow you

to maybe approach your goals a little

bit differently with data it's already

collecting and that you'll be able to

access it they also talked about things

like watch faces and you know updating

that and more customization which is

really cool that's true across some of

the devices but I think ultimately they

were like you can better find or track

information for your health which okay

yeah I look forward to seeing it

actually works yeah in practice some

updates to the cycle tracking as well to

include uh management of your pregnancy

which could be really impactful for a

lot of people out there so we'll see as

with everything that is the Highlight

underscored in this entire discussion

right we'll see uh we did get one

comment from Juan on YouTube doesn't

like how they're making a lot of

features for pro phones only I don't

know that we got a lot of specific call

outs um other

than what is the requirement for some of

these intense

software let's say like apple

intelligence there was maybe mention of

using the action button I think on the

the what the 15 Pro so things like that

yeah but also that also might be a

glimpse at improvements coming in

September to the new range of iPhones we

just don't know it could be something

that they're going to introduce to more

it could be you know they want everyone

to have access to these Apple

intelligence features especially within

Siri that might be one of those things

that leads us to believe the lower-end

iPhone models will get beefed up they

may get some changes there I mean yeah I

totally get it sometimes it's like you

made a thing but it's only for that

thing over there that came up a lot with

um the iPhone announcements last month I

actually almost feel the opposite I I

found it really interesting some of the

things they called out that should

theoretically ostensibly be available to

ex like your phones to many of their

phones that are available now never mind

whatever they announce in you know

September October as the new devices um

for instance um I know this mostly app

applies to The Vision Pro and how the

people who are using it but they were

talking about the photos that you

already have and how you can now convert

them for this you know these spatial

photos so things you already took

pictures of probably with your iPhone

now you'll have the ability to use these

new tools with the vision OS so it's

things that maybe already exist that

they're working with um when they add

these new software updates and a lot of

those things touched on that Siri as we

talked about some of these other

features within Apple intelligence um

how they redesign photos and all the

ways that people are going to be able to

use that we didn't even really talk

under Apple intelligence about gen emoji

and this new like apple playground or no

image playground app and all the things

that you can do there um and how it will

take you know this natural language

search and you can create these images

and share them with friends so no more

just your little mimoji or your little

your little stickers um you can make all

sorts of things but again these are

things that I think will I got the

impression that they will be available

on many of the existing devices um and

so I mean that's great right but I was

also a little surprised that it seem to

be a lot of things where they are taking

advantage of the existing um Hardware

that is out there for most of it um if

you somehow have the original iPod like

we saw at the top of the keynote um

before they jumped out of a plane I

don't think that applies but for most

interesting yeah weird Li phon yeah

I think it also underscored that that

was something uh Craig feder mentioned

right they've built upon these platforms

for many years they've been building

toward this integrated ecosystem of

devices and

software that allows them to say we

actually planted these seeds four years

ago three years whatever it was on your

M1 MacBook Pro computer and if you still

have that because they last three five

seven years if you take care of them

right however long Apple wants them to

last we planted the seed three years ago

it still works now right and it's going

to work with Sequoia it's going to work

with iOS

18 uh it's not always Apple's Forte so I

think it's worthwhile to call out that

planning for the

future that here for it it's not

necessarily uh in exact opposition to

their occasional planned obsolescence

that they are accused of but we'll see

what phones what devices what iPads it

truly works

for this was such a great discussion

that we went almost 10 minutes over time

just chatting no spacular no regrets I

think it was awesome and like Felicia

said we didn't even share with those of

you watching everything that was covered

how could we it was two hours and we're

merely breaking down some of the Topline

impactful announcements to us and to you

hopefully thank you very much for

uh joining us thank you very much

Felicia for taking time out of your busy

day and week thank you as we mentioned

there's still the big iPhone event

coming this fall right do you feel like

we got any insights today into what we

could expect at that event I don't know

that we did I mean we can see the

direction that Apple seems to be going I

believe I imagine that we will get a lot

more around some of this apple

intelligence build um I also feel like

there's an undercurrent not only to this

keynote but to the Apple iPad

announcement last month that a lot of it

is content creation um you know and so a

lot of it seems to be geared toward

you're taking photos you're writing

things you're communicating maybe you're

making videos for something else or you

know taking professional photos how how

are we going to change your workflow or

how can we improve it

and I think that's I want to say

interesting that's so boring right but I

I think that that maybe being the focal

point of maybe who they imagine Their

audience is or what people are mainly

using so many of these devices for will

be interesting and a lot of it will does

center around the iPhone so it'll be

interesting to see if updates are

specifically along those lines like they

were for the

iPad for a very long time Apple has

really tried to hammer home the idea

that the best camera the best recording

device the best note taking device that

you have is the one that's with you all

the time right it is your phone whatever

that may be it is your phone and now we

have reached the next Evolution I think

of Apple where they're saying we we know

you always have it with you and we know

you use it for these things like you

highlighted Felicia here's how you use

them better here's how you get more out

of that device that you're already doing

everything on here's that next step

and I hope with that comes more fun

features and more interesting things and

we'll be tuned we'll be here in

September waiting for that I'll be right

here we'll see yeah we will be literally

in this chair oh wait one more thing

wait that c I'm sorry I did not mean to

do that like apple says it but I do have

one more thing one other thought is just

that one thing that was interesting here

and I imagine we'll see more of um maybe

even around the iPhone product is just

that there's just more opening up for

third party developers and having access

to those key features um again there

were a lot of changes in the EU um there

so we might be seeing some of those here

um I thought that there might actually

be more announcements in wwc maybe we'll

see that over the course of the week but

we've seen a little bit of a tease and

so I think we might get more of that and

that should be really interesting that's

a great call out we'll certainly be

following that thank you thank you all

for watching thank you Felicia uh be

sure to check out our continuing Tech

coverage at USA Today and I hope you all

have a lovely week thank you
