["Daydreamer" by Aurora playing]
-
Good morning. And welcome to WWDC.
-
WWDC is an incredibly important event to Apple, our developers and our users.
-
It's here that we bring some of our biggest innovations to life.
-
And we have not stopped innovating,
-
doing the work that will enrich people's lives for years to come.
-
Because we're all looking forward to a more hopeful tomorrow.
-
That's why we believe it's so important to have WWDC this year.
-
And while it cannot possibly feel the same in here without you,
-
I can assure you that we have a great show ahead of us.
-
This year we're delivering the conference in a whole new way
-
to all of you around the world, directly to your home.
-
And we want to welcome you to our home here at Apple Park.
-
I'd like to first talk to you about two big things
-
that are happening in the world right now.
-
To start, I want to address the topic of racism, inequality and injustice
-
and to recognize the pain being felt throughout our nation,
-
especially in our Black and Brown communities,
-
after the senseless killing of George Floyd.
-
And while the events of this past month are sadly not new,
-
they have caused us to face
-
long-standing institutional inequalities and social injustices.
-
This country was founded on the principles of freedom and equality for all.
-
For too many people and for too long, we haven't lived up to those ideals.
-
We're inspired and moved
-
by the passionate people around our nation and around the world
-
who have stood up to demand change.
-
We must all aim far higher to build a future that lives up to our ideals.
-
This means taking action.
-
Two weeks ago, we announced Apple's Racial Equity and Justice Initiative
-
with a commitment of one hundred million dollars.
-
Starting in the United States, and expanding over time,
-
this initiative will challenge systemic barriers
-
that limit opportunity for communities of color
-
in the critical areas of education, economic equality and criminal justice.
-
We also announced something important for this community,
-
the new Developer Entrepreneur Camp for Black developers.
-
We want to do everything we can to foster the brightest lights and best ideas.
-
At Apple, our mission has always been to make the world a better place,
-
and we're committed to being a force for change.
-
Right now our world is also battling a virus
-
that is affecting the daily lives of billions of people.
-
We want to thank the dedicated people everywhere,
-
especially our health-care workers,
-
who have made tremendous sacrifices to take care of those in need.
-
We've also seen the profound impact our products have had.
-
People are relying on them more than ever to remain connected to family and friends,
-
to do their work, to express their creativity,
-
to be entertained as well as to entertain others.
-
Today the world is counting on all of us,
-
and on the products and experiences that we create, to move forward.
-
Because throughout history,
-
great challenges have been met with great creativity and important breakthroughs.
-
That's why we're so excited about this year's conference.
-
This is going to be truly a unique week,
-
delivered unlike any that we've done before.
-
There will be more than a hundred engineering-led video sessions,
-
one-on-one consultations with Apple engineers,
-
developer forums and so much more,
-
delivered to you from different locations right here at Apple Park.
-
And this year, the conference will be available
-
to our entire community of 23 million developers,
-
as well as anyone who is interested, for free.
-
Presenting the conference in this way allows us to be more inclusive than ever.
-
Perhaps this will inspire the next generation of developers.
-
So even though we can't be together in person,
-
in some ways we're going to be more together than ever.
-
Today we're going to push each of our platforms forward
-
in some exciting and breakthrough ways.
-
With that, let's get started by sending it over to Craig.
-
Good morning. Great to have you here.
-
As you can see, we've got a lot to cover, so let's get started with iOS.
-
Together with iPhone,
-
iOS is central to how we navigate our lives and stay connected.
-
And now we're making it even more powerful and easier to use.
-
Our new release is iOS 14.
-
This year we've spent time rethinking
-
some of the most iconic elements of the experience on iPhone.
-
Now it all started here,
-
with a carefully considered Home Screen that has truly stood the test of time.
-
Of course, over the years, we've kept the fundamentals largely the same
-
but carefully added features like folders for organizing your apps,
-
widgets for quick information
-
and personalized experiences powered by on-device intelligence
-
that serve up just the right thing at just the right moment.
-
It's hard to imagine iPhone without these features now.
-
Well, that brings us to this year.
-
We're doing more on our iPhones today than ever before,
-
so we've rethought some of the core elements of iOS to reflect this.
-
Let me give you a quick peek.
-
["Like This Like That" by BEGINNERS & Night Panda playing]
-
This is gonna be amazing.
-
Let's dig in, starting with the Home Screen.
-
Today's Home Screen works great, but as we get more and more apps,
-
we can end up with this:
-
lots and lots of pages.
-
And we tend to forget what's beyond the first couple.
-
Wouldn't it be great
-
if there were a way to organize all of those apps without doing a thing?
-
Well, this year we're doing just that with something called the App Library.
-
It's a new space at the end of your Home Screen pages
-
that automatically organizes all your apps
-
in one simple and easy-to-navigate view.
-
Let me show you.
-
Here's my Home Screen.
-
Now, like you, I have muscle memory built for the first page or two,
-
but when it comes to all of these pages,
-
well, honestly, I've lost track of where a lot of things are.
-
And that's where the App Library comes in.
-
You can see that all of my apps are automatically organized here.
-
In fact, now with the App Library,
-
I actually don't need all those pages for all my apps.
-
So we created an easy way to hide app pages.
-
I just go into jiggle mode, tap the dots at the bottom,
-
and check this out,
-
I get a zoomed-out view of all my app pages.
-
I can simply tap to hide the pages I no longer need.
-
Just like that.
-
And now with those pages hidden,
-
App Library is always just a swipe or two away.
-
So here in App Library, getting to the app I'm looking for is really easy.
-
Up at the top I have the Search field,
-
and I get all my apps organized from A to Z.
-
Now over here on the upper left I have Suggestions.
-
It uses on-device intelligence
-
to show me the apps that I'm likely to need next.
-
And on the right is Recently Added,
-
giving me access to the apps that I've recently downloaded from the App Store.
-
And below are intelligently curated categories.
-
So I can tap into a category like Apple Arcade
-
and see all of my apps in that category.
-
Now let's go back.
-
You may notice that in each of these categories
-
the apps I use most are right here at the top level,
-
so I can launch one of these directly with just a tap.
-
So that's App Library.
-
We think this is gonna make it easier than ever to get to your apps.
-
Next, let's turn to Widgets.
-
Today, widgets help you get information at a glance.
-
But a lot has changed since we first introduced these.
-
Now we have Apple Watch, where we're able to surface so much information
-
on a small screen that you wear on your wrist.
-
Well, this year, we're taking all that we've learned
-
to create a completely reimagined experience for widgets.
-
To start, they're more beautiful and data rich.
-
And we're introducing different sizes,
-
so you can choose one that best fits your needs.
-
Let's take a look at them in iOS 14.
-
So let's swipe over to Today View and take a look at our new widgets.
-
They're just beautiful.
-
And the new designs are more data rich than ever.
-
And you can see they now come in a variety of sizes.
-
So you can pick just the right level of information for each one.
-
Now we like these new widgets so much,
-
we wanted to make them even more accessible.
-
So check this out.
-
I'm just gonna tap and hold on the Weather widget,
-
and I can drag it out of Today View and onto my Home Screen.
-
And watch, as I move it around,
-
the apps just dance out of the way to make space for my new widget.
-
Let's add a second one.
-
Just gonna tap the plus here in the upper left
-
and grab on to Podcasts.
-
I can drop it just like that.
-
Now I'm gonna swipe over to page 2 here and bring back up the Widget Gallery.
-
The gallery is a great place to explore widgets.
-
Now when I tap on one,
-
I can actually page through all of the different sizes available.
-
Just like this.
-
But, you know, right now what I want to do is grab this widget up top.
-
It's a really special one. It's called the Smart Stack.
-
Just gonna tap it and drop it here.
-
With the Smart Stack, I can easily swipe through widgets
-
to pick just the one I want for the moment.
-
But what's really cool
-
is that the Smart Stack can actually do this for me automatically.
-
So in the morning, I can get my news briefing.
-
Throughout the day, find out when I have a meeting coming up.
-
And in the evening, I might get a summary of my activity for the day.
-
So that's widgets on the Home Screen.
-
We're excited to see how everyone will customize them in their own way.
-
Next, we're also bringing Picture in Picture to iPhone.
-
So you can access apps on your iPhone
-
while watching video or talking on a FaceTime call.
-
Let me show you.
-
So here on my Home Screen,
-
the Smart Stack is showing me the TV widget.
-
So I can just tap to start playing a show.
-
Now check this out. When I swipe to go Home,
-
the video automatically goes into Picture in Picture
-
right over the Home Screen.
-
And when I launch another app, like Notes, I can keep watching.
-
Now I can drag the picture to another part of the screen.
-
If I want to make it bigger, I can even pinch to zoom.
-
And as I move between applications it stays with me.
-
And what's cool is I can also swipe it to the side,
-
and the audio keeps playing when it's off-screen.
-
Now here on the Home Screen I can bring it back out if I want.
-
And I have controls to get back to full-screen playback,
-
or I can just tap the "X" to close it.
-
And that's Picture in Picture video.
-
It's a great way to continue enjoying your video
-
while tapping into everything else your iPhone can do for you.
-
And that's a quick look at the updates to the core elements of iOS.
-
We think these new features are gonna make iOS even more helpful in the moment.
-
Another iconic experience that's getting a major update is Siri.
-
As much as Siri has advanced over the years,
-
the visual interface for interacting with it has remained largely unchanged.
-
When you use Siri, your iPhone switches to this full-screen UI,
-
obscuring your current context.
-
So this year, we've completely redesigned the Siri experience
-
with a new compact design.
-
It makes tasks like launching apps incredibly seamless.
-
For example, if you say, "Open Safari,"
-
Siri pops up at the bottom of the screen and instantly launches the app.
-
Or if you ask for information, like the weather,
-
results appear at the top of the screen just like a notification.
-
Now this is especially great
-
when there's information you want to reference on-screen.
-
For example, you could ask Siri to add to your grocery list.
-
So that's the new Siri design in iOS 14.
-
But the UI is only part of the story.
-
To tell you more about how we're making Siri smarter than ever,
-
I'll hand it off to Yael Garten.
-
Thanks, Craig.
-
Siri's getting smarter and even more helpful every day,
-
and I'm really excited to share the latest updates with you.
-
Siri helps you in a ton of little ways every day:
-
playing the morning news, ordering a coffee, getting directions,
-
setting the alarm before going to bed and so much more.
-
In fact, Siri's helping so many of you
-
with a staggering 25 billion requests each month.
-
And Siri's getting more helpful every day.
-
Siri's always been great for getting information
-
and now has over 20 times more facts than just three years ago.
-
For more complex questions
-
like "How do hybrid cars work?" or "What causes seasons?",
-
we recently introduced answers from websites across the Internet,
-
