I think all those features mentioned like attachments and sharing location and leaving/adding people to a conversation is a strictly-iMessage featureset. iOS Messages app doesn't even work well with Android phones in group texts. They way they package up the text is totally different.

#113Impress by All the announcements for developer in the WWDC.
But taking the perspective of a enduser, there are key features i was hopping to get in iOS 8 that i didn't:
-Spotlight Integration For third Party Apps.
-Multi-User Support Or Guest Mode
-iMessage For Android
-App Trials
-Fixing The Music App ( Artis-Album View is broken)
-Third Party Default Apps

> It's extremely hard to crack healtcare, it's very closed, defensive system of people and bureaucracy, Apple might just have the power to do it. Care delivery is also an industry in which Apple has virtually zero market share - it's Microsoft through and through. Inpatient and outpatient EHRs all target Windows, hospital IT all runs Windows Server, and some of the more "forward-thinking" hospitals are even eyeing Wi…
> Inpatient and outpatient EHRs all target Windows I believe this is primarily because the development environment is really simple for this class of software. Platforms such as .NET, COM, MFC and VB have been around a long time and it's easy to find programmers. It also doesn't hurt that the desktops running Windows are incredibly inexpensive and easy to procure and run Microsoft Windows. But targeting the end users…
It certainly helps that Microsoft actually has Software for enterprise. Apple killed the Server stuff years ago and there have never been strong provisions for managing client installations.

#115This was interesting:
"Touch ID- For the first time, you’ll have the option of using Touch ID to sign in to third-party apps — there’s no need to enter a password. Your fingerprint data is protected and is never accessed by iOS or other apps."
Will this be used significantly by developers?

Please look past the hype, malware on phones is a near non-issue. Need I remind you that it was iOS devices being hijacked by hackers, not Android devices? Claims like "99% of malware exist on Android" didn't prevent Apple users across the west from having their devices hijacked for ransom. And no, Apple isn't threatened by the "competition". I'm just saying: from the perspective of a tech-forward developer who spend…
I reluctantly don't jailbreak my iPhone/iPad despite that I of course want shell, emacs, Perl, etc on all my devices. This is because I want to feel safe with my i.* things while using my bank applications and buying stuff from iTunes.
If the Jailbreak exists, doesn't that mean there is an unpatched security hole in your version of iOS?

> Claims like "99% of malware exist on Android" didn't prevent Apple users across the west from having their devices hijacked for ransom. The feature used for this - remote locking of a stolen/lost phone - is present on both Android and iOS, as are weak passwords. That you're acting like that's an issue with the hardware/software involved is a good indication that you're trolling or fanboying.
"That you're acting like that's an issue with the hardware/software involved is a good indication that you're trolling or fanboying." I'm pointing out that just because Tim Cook makes a random hypey statement, it doesn't MEAN anything. I rightfully showed that iOS, without malware, is suffering from hijacks that aren't occurring in Android. Personally, if remote locking is capable of a hijack, I'd call that malware,…
If the attack can be done in both platforms I'm not clear on your point. By your logic Gmail, HN, and essentially every other site are infested with "malware" because some people get hacked with vulnerable passwords.
Meanwhile, in Android:

Do that on an unjailbroken iPhone and we'll talk.
Re: Apple Introduces iOS 8
#118Still no user accounts on iPad. The only thing I want, and 8 versions in, it's still not there. Why I can't create a login for my kids on my iPad that hides my mail, calendar, certain games, etc? I don't understand why this isn't possible.
Re: Apple Introduces iOS 8
#119I was really hoping for split screen multitasking (which Windows 8 on tablets does a good job of). I heard it was possible, but was having problems getting it out the door in time. I really hope it comes out in the final version of iOS 8, because that's the one thing that would tempt be to get a Surface over the next iteration of the iPad.
I think there's a jailbreak thing for that
Re: Apple Introduces iOS 8
#120Totally on a tangent here, but I find myself disappointed, again. I'm a long time hobbyist programmer, got my start back in the days of Apple IIe, got my first Mac in 1984...and I'm still not switching back to iPhone until I can write my own software and run it on my own phone without paying Apple for the privilege. I'm waiting for two simple words: "Unknown sources". Guess I have to wait some more. Not sure how low…
I think you missed that the App Store is an iPhone afterthought -- the original, still supported, intent was to support HTML5 apps installed to your home screen.
You can write your own software, run it on any iOS device, share it with others, even sell it without anyone's permission.
Here is a PacMan style game, for example:

If that's not "hobbyist" friendly, I don't know what is.
