I have high hopes for the background replacement tech, the segmentation built into teams isn't very good.
The demo they showed used the iPhone Continuity Camera, which has depth information and already does a great job of segmentation as it's required for the Portrait and Studio Light effects. I suspect quality will be worse on a typical Mac FaceTime camera.

#72I wish they’d have an LTS version, I’m in constant fear of what will go wrong next…
You still receive security updates for all manjor MacOSes, so albeit lack of proper naming you can assume each new release as LTS.

#73I never thought I’d see the day macOS would get tiling window management. Wonder how it will interact with Stage Manager if at all.

#74I wonder how the "seamlessly drag and drop files, photos, and videos between your iPhone and Mac" will work. Right now, if you just want to grab the raw files of your photos and videos and not deal with the Photos app, your best bet is Image Capture, a 20+ year old seemingly unmaintained program that seems to glitch out disturbingly frequently. I really hope they can introduce something that seamlessly lets you drag…
I frequently just airdrop stuff between my iphone and mac, that's the best thing coming from android, that and pasting text between devices, eg iban, passwords, etc.

#75The iPhone Mirroring was the most interesting announcement (and I don't think was leaked). I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though.

Why? It's not like remote desktop tech is new or anything.

#79Should have called it Sherlock as they seem to be Sherlocking a lot of apps. For instance I only use Fantastical because I can see my reminders with my events, I assume many people will also switch from a paid password manager to this as well.
I don’t see myself switching from 1password simply because I don’t think Apple passwords autofill will work natively with non-safari browsers or Linux, both of which I also use. Also, I find the handy 1password mini source pretty convenient.
I keep family members' social security numbers, security questions and answers, passport numbers, etc in there, and I don't want to split that data between a passwords app & secure notes.

Isn't it illegal to push your own products by bundling them with other products?
