It's on, it's off, it's on again? No one knew (this is me from the future; it happened, and we're still here), but we'll always have our coins, so that's nice, I guess.

              • Every device that can run iOS 11 can run iOS 12, going back to the 2013 iPhone 5S
              • Boosts on everything, like opening the camera, keyboard, share sheets, etc
              • Siri Shortcuts
                • This is where the Workflow team went
                • Apps can expose quick phrases to Siri... So no more “In Things”... If I say “Today View”, Siri can know that means open Things to the Today View.
                • You can assign custom phrases to things inside of apps
                • Separate Shortcuts App, very much workflow, drag and drop commands for common things you do
                • So say like, “Heading Home” and a driving playlist can start playing and then Maps will open up with directions home
                • I think this is a very powerful idea and a great way to skirt around Siri’s biggest weakness
                • Do Not Disturb
                  • DnD During Bedtime

                      • Instant Tuning
                        • Siri can tell you if you don’t use this notification
                        • You can set it to be in Notification Center but not the lock screen... It’s granularity we want but we still need a bunch more
                        • Can be done on any notification quickly
                        • Screen Time

                          • Can set App Limits, and it’ll remind you when you are about to reach your limit
                          • Can be set on your kids devices, and downtime for when they shouldn’t use an app... No Snapchat after 9p

                                  • Walkie-Talkie Mode
                                    • You can set up walkie-talkie mode with a friend and use them as such, which is actually really cool and I think lends to the watch really well. That’s the Dick Tracy watch.
