The old mobile OSs used to be hilariously lacking so every update was genuinely game changing. I remember getting really excited when Android Ice Cream Sandwich was adding screenshot functionality to tablets. And hearing people talk about folders getting added to iOS.

Now all the low hanging fruit is gone they are less exciting. The photogrammetry api stuff added to iOS probably took 100x the dev effort of adding folders and copy/paste, but gets far less excitement.

The remaining low hanging fruits seem to be in porting to desktop docks.

It feels like Apple’s announcements for iPad OS are telegraphing that docking might be supported in yet-to-be-released iPhones.

There is only one purpose for the iPhone to have a usb c connection. Just one. The dock.

Like all things apple, watch them muzzle it to keep sales of the IPAD high.

Convergence is finally going to happen 15 years later than I wanted it to, and by that time I'm not gonna want to own a smartphone anymore.

Compliance with EU law?

I’d guess they meant “a usb c connection rather than only wireless charging/sync.”
