Apple WWDC 2018 Highlights.
Apple annual Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC 2018, officially kicked off on Monday. It began with a two-hour presentation from Apple in which top executives took the stage at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California, to showcase the latest developments in iOS, mac OS, watch OS, tv OS, Siri, and more.

Let’s have a look at the highlights of WWDC 2018.
1. IOS 12 Introduced
The breakout highlight is the digital health dashboard, which Apple says is designed to help curb smartphone overuse. Now, you can set Do Not Disturb for when you’re heading to bed, group notifications so you aren’t overwhelmed by too many lock screen bubbles, and set a timer for how long you want to use apps daily.
Unlike Android’s rendition of the features, Apple will allow users to ignore and snooze the screen time limit they’ve put on themselves. iOS 12 users can also set allowances for managed devices for kids.
2. VISUAL FUN ON IOS 12
Apple is following up Samsung’s AR Emoji with Memoji, which let users customize the faces to whatever they’d like to look like. There’s also a “Tongue Detection” mode now, so you can make Animoji… stick their tongues out.
In Messages, there are new Animoji, stickers, text, and a drawing tool built into the app camera, and iOS 12 will now support Group FaceTime that lets you chat with up to 32 people. You can FaceTime in your Animoji or Memoji overlay as well.
3. Siri Update: Much More Useful
Siri is getting suggestions, too, with some app actions that it thinks you may want to do based on your smartphone usage behaviour. A new shortcut app lets you add your own action as well if you want to customize an action, such as an order at the coffee shop with all your specific dietary preferences. You can combine multiple actions as well, such as what radio station to play, a thermostat setting, or a text message to your kids letting them know you’re on the way — all set to the Siri command that you’re headed home.
You can also combine the shortcuts with third-party devices, such as a tile, so you can ask it to locate lost items with your own personalized trigger phrase.
4. WatchOS 5
The Apple Watch is now much smarter about your workouts, thanks to watchOS 5. The new Apple Watch software introduces automatic workout detection, which can suggest an activity based on what it thinks you’re doing (in case you forget to program your workout ahead of time). Similarly, if you forget to turn off your workout manually, the Apple Watch can also now detect if you’ve stopped working out.
The Apple Watch has a new way to communicate: Walkie-talkie. Just choose a person to Walkie-Talkie with, and once that person accepts your request, you two can Walkie-Talkie whenever you like. You just push into your watch, and start talking. This works for both cellular and WiFi.Another clever new Apple Watch feature. Now, if you raise your wrist, you don’t need to say “Hey Siri” to start talking to your Apple Watch. It will automatically recognize that you want to talk to it. Just say whatever you want.
You can even add your Student ID cards to your Apple Watch. This will let you access your dorm or library, or even pay for snacks or laundry or dinners, with only your Apple Watch. It’ll start at seven universities at first, including Duke, this fell.
5. Finally! DOLBY ATMOS Arrives On APPLE TV 4K
At last, Dolby Atmos support is coming to Apple TV 4K. In the fall, Apple says it will update its iTunes library to include Dolby Atmos on supported movies, TV shows, and music videos for free. The Apple TV will also support cable service with Charter Spectrum, as well as Live News and Sports channels on the app.
The Apple TV is getting a nice new feature called “zero sign-on,” which lets you access all your supported apps included with your TV service on your Apple TV as long as you’re both using the same broadband network. That means if you buy a new Apple TV, you won’t have to manually sign into every TV app to start using it. Charter Spectrum will be the first to support zero sign-on, but Apple says it plans to add others.
6. MOJAVE Announced
Apple is continuing with its macOS naming structure after beautiful landscapes, with macOS Mojave. The new operating system brings Dark Mode, which not only turns Finder windows black, but it comes with an inverted look to XCode, too.
The Mac App store is getting a redesign that features new sections that better highlight video previews, ratings, and editor’s choice picks. Some new apps coming include Office 364, Lightroom CC, and BBEdit.
In productivity, Mojave will add a bunch of quick actions, such as organizing your desktop by Stacks to clean up all the files sitting around or choose to watermark multiple files or sign a PDF document just by selecting a menu option from the sidebar. Even screencapping videos will now be quicker from the keyboard shortcut, rather than going through QuickTime to screen record. In Keynote, a neat new tool lets you sync up with your phone so you can snap photos and automatically add them to the document.
Home is coming to Mojave as well, so you can adjust all your smart home gadgets from a Mac dashboard or ask Siri on the desktop to make changes.
