And we start #wwdc with the obligatory mentions of systemic racism and COVID19. These topics are basically included in most slide deck templates now.
And now Craig "Hair Force One" Federighi talking about iOS and how much we love our iPhones.
So far everyone's learning what we wish more conferences did: you can pre-record videos and ensure that everything is SUPER polished.

Some conferences do that and it still looks like crap.
Introducing the App Library, which presumably will cause copyright folks to get incredibly upset.
Craig is walking around alone in Steve Jobs Theatre's entryway. I'd imagine in solo rehearsals it was a Pants Optional zone.
Widgets can now live on your home screen instead. This will be super handy if a widget that isn't useless ever gets invented. #wwdc
Picture in Picture now comes to iPhone, solving the problem of "video on my Apple Watch is incredibly small to the point of being useless, now how can we make it even smaller?" #wwdc
"Siri is getting updated." Faster text recognition? Better context?

Of course not. A UI refresh that doesn't obscure the entire screen is all we get. #wwdc
First non-exec person on stage is Yael Garten. She's talking about how Siri is used today, and getting better in the future.
Siri now does translation.

If it's anything like its speech to text recognition, this is going to start a war. #wwdc
Now Stacey Lysik to talk about iMessage / conversations.

They won't be including the actual winning feature customers want: "Aggregate twitter DMs, Slack DMs, iMessage, etc. etc. etc. all in one place." #wwdc
Improving memoji, better known as "that thing you never use that takes up space on your iMessage screen."
"No one's going outside, but we need to talk about Apple Maps" is now Craig's shit sandwich. Poor guy. #wwdc
"We're bringing new Apple Maps to additional countries that are currently sleeping."
Hands it off to Meg Frost to talk about maps.
Her wheelchair is amazing to the point of "it could be confused for an Apple product if they focused on that particular market."
Now talking about CarPlay, and reimagining car keys.

I reiterate that everyone is trapped at home watching this.

Now handing off to Emily Schubert to tell us more about this.
With your phone now serving as your car key, combined with Apple Wallet, if you lose your phone your keys and wallet go with it. Genius plan! #wwdc
Note that the usual "someone tells a #wwdc joke and it bombs" dynamic is completely absent here.

These kind of jokes always work in small groups. It's when you're on stage in front of thousands that the dynamics shift.
An App Clip is a small part of an app. It's not clear what they do, but we know that Apple will demand its 30% cut from everyone for using them. #wwdc
Now talking about iPad OS, ideally to make it less like wrestling an octopus.

Handing it off to Josh Shaffer to tell us more.
Talking about app specific changes-- Photos, in this case.

Okay, great. What about the actual OS itself, folks?
