Anyway, I booted up my iPadOS 14 test device and there's the old Safari with proper tabs and a separate address bar and a toolbar – it's so pretty and functional, can we please have this back? 🥺 https://t.co/Nttnv7LZFg
So you know that little multi-window button in the iPadOS 15 app switcher that tells you when an app has multiple windows open?
I thought it was just an indicator. Turns out you can click it to show those multiple windows in Exposé. https://t.co/ki6ZnpemCA
Oh my, what happened to Safari in iPadOS 15 beta 3? 😬
Tabs flying around more than before, distracting animations, new tabs now open on the right, but new links don't every time.
Please, Apple, let us revert this design like on Monterey. This is bad.

I’m really enjoying the new Safari on iOS and the better reachability.The animation to see all open tabs is so slick (UI bugs notwithstanding).Have you seen you can long-press the elements in the bottom bar? Totally unintuitive & hidden but glad they’re there! pic.twitter.com/trY3zXWAQH— Alex Hay (@mralexhay) July 3, 2021
The new OCR and filesystem features of Shortcuts in iOS 15 are WILD.
I created a shortcut that:
- Extracts text from an image using OCR
- Suggests some of that text as file name
- Saves the image into a specific folder in the Files app (in my case, local storage)

Apple continues to add features to Voice Memos that would also make sense as Podcasts audio effects...🤔 This year, they've added Skip Silence, which joins Enhance Recording from iOS 14. #WWDC21 pic.twitter.com/3uP8bOfQY8— Federico Viticci (@viticci) June 8, 2021

Now these are two developer frameworks I was not expecting this year:- ShazamKit to recognize audio and music in your apps - MailKit (!) to build extensions on top of Apple Mail, but macOS-only it seems #WWDC21 pic.twitter.com/XnkGz3hFJw— Federico Viticci (@viticci) June 7, 2021

"Shortcuts is the future of automation on the Mac."
Apple will let you import Automator workflows in Shortcuts, which will also come with integration with menu bar, Spotlight, and it appears Finder and multitasking too.
This is fantastic news. Let's go Shortcuts 💪

What @Fedez has done last weekend – using his platform for positive change and defending our proposed legislation for LGBTQ+ rights – is brave and powerful. Gay and trans rights are human rights. Period.
We must pass the #DDLZan law. 🏳️⚧️🇮🇹🏳️🌈

Beautifully animated video by Apple on App Tracking Transparency, which launched today alongside iOS 14.5. https://youtu.be/Ihw_Al4RNno See also: Joanna Stern’s interview for The Wall Street Journal with Apple’s Craig Federighi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G05nEgsXgoI
This week, Federico and John take an in-depth look at everything coming later this week with iOS and iPadOS 14.5, which will be the subject of a comprehensive review by Federico on MacStories.
Back in 2018 in my iOS 12 review, I argued Apple should establish an editorial presence in Apple Music to dive deeper into artist stories and interviews.
The new integration with Apple News isn't that extensive, but it's a first step.

Here's our overview of the new Apple TV 4K. I'm extremely happy Apple got rid of the old Siri remote and brought back buttons. Also, pretty cool that the new color calibration feature will work with older generation Apple TV models. https://t.co/fLeXPohUIo https://t.co/dpNlIYPjC7
Center Stage, the new iPad Pro feature that uses the front-facing camera to automatically follow the user during video calls, is *not* exclusive to FaceTime. Third-party apps can use Center Stage and there'll be an API available to toggle it on/off. #AppleEvent
