In the early hours of Tuesday morning here in Australia, Apple held its WWDC 2019 keynote.
Over two hours a storm of new announcements were made – from iOS 13, to the death of iTunes to a hardcore new Mac Pro that looks like a fancy cheese grater.
Here’s all of our in-depth Dub Dub coverage in one handy place.

At today’s keynote, Apple’s Kevin Lynch took the stage to reveal all the updates we can expect to see in watchOS 6, and therefore, the Apple Watch Series 5 later this fall.”]

And finally—finally! The successor to the “trashcan” is here and it looks a lot like a cheese grater (it also looks like it’s potentially very powerful).”]
iPad Has A Dedicated OS Now

Sure it’s a great device that’s fast enough for general tasks like web browsing, light enough to take anywhere, and long-lasting enough to support you through a few hours of movies sans plug. Yet inevitably we reach for a “real” computer when the work is demanding enough. Apple clearly wants that to change, if today’s news is anything to go by.”]

Aptly named iPadOS, it comes with a bunch of fancy new features including extreme multitasking functionality, desktop browsing and, well, a lot of fingering talk. One glaringly absent announcement was mouse support – something that iPad users have frothing over since forever. As it turns out, it totally will have it.”]
Project Catalina (MacOS 10.15) Is Here

In its place are a collection of purpose-built apps that might make the next version of macOS—Catalina—worth the upgrade. iTunes, you probably won’t be missed.”]

While many of these changes are expected refreshes of Apple operating systems, one announcement is a major milestone for the company in terms of making its products much more accessible.”]

But today Apple showed off tvOS and it looks like it’ll be a great base OS for all the new content Apple is hoping we’ll subscribe to.”]
Privacy Was Huge This Year

Smart home devices were much slower to adopt it than Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, and even though it works well, it required a bit more research to make sure the devices you were buying specifically supported it.”]
Ummmm…
