[ad_1] Rather than save Mackay a few mouse clicks, the new version of macOS spared him from having to use a switch controlled by his tongue to interact with a machine.

Sidecar, Project Catalyst and Voice Control
[ad_1] After Apple wrapped its WWDC keynote today, the developers went to coding sessions and the press, well, mostly showed themselves out. As it happens, we later had a chance to see most of the new software in action in private demos. First, an important caveat: These demos were guided and hands-off, meaning we haven’t […]
Watch Apple’s WWDC 2019 keynote in under seven minutes
[ad_1] To say Apple’s WWDC 2019 keynote was jam-packed would be an understatement. Apple offered its usual previews of the next versions of iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS, but it also broke some new ground. The iPad now has its own operating system, for starters. There were also meaningful updates to the HomePod and a […]
iTunes isn’t dead
[ad_1] Even Apple knew it. The intro to the iTunes portion of today’s keynote was a tongue-in-cheek bit about adding Calendar, Mail and Safari inside the desktop app. “One thing we hear over and over: Can iTunes do even more?” quipped vice president of software Craig Federighi. The current version of iTunes (Nathan Ingraham/Engadget) Once […]
Apple could be done with iTunes
[ad_1] If you have some time this weekend, maybe open up iTunes and double check your MP3 tags again, just for old-times sake.

Apple Watch may soon get an on-device App Store
[ad_1] You’d also see a deluge of new apps. Health mavens would have access to Cycles for menstrual cycles, and Dose for pill reminders. An Apple Books app would audiobooks on your wrist, while Voice Memos would allow quick note-to-self moments. And yes, there would finally be a native calculator. These wouldn’t be great news […]
Apple Aperture won’t run in macOS after Mojave
[ad_1] While albums, labels and the images themselves will make the cut, they won’t always have one-for-one equivalents. Color labels may pop up as keywords or tags, for example. Aperture’s non-destructive editing also won’t carry over properly — the Photos app will preserve the changes, but you can’t tweak them short of reverting to the […]
Apple may bring Siri Shortcuts and Screen Time to macOS
[ad_1] Apple revealed Siri Shortcuts at WWDC last year. It opens up the voice assistant, allowing you to create custom Siri commands for various apps, though you might need to download a Marzipan app (those ported from iPad to Mac) from the Mac App Store to use Shortcuts on your computer. It’s a move that […]
Apple may be developing a Tile-like tracking tag
[ad_1] The tag is said to link to your iCloud account when you place it close to your iPhone, akin to how you’d pair AirPods. If the tag moves too far away from your phone, you can receive a notification. You should be able to set up safe zones, where you can leave a tagged […]
