Apple WWDC 2021 keynote in 23 minutes

Apple just wrapped up its opening WWDC 2021 keynote and gave us our first looks at iOS 15, iPadOS, macOS Monterey, watchOS 8, new health features, privacy updates, improvements to FaceTime, and many more. We compiled all the highlights for you in this video, but, spoiler alert: no new hardware was introduced this year.

those facetime features would’ve been nice last year during quarantine

"So my library isn't cluttered with memes and screenshots" Why do I feel personally attacked

[kickdogseal]

Google maps crushes Apple Maps everywhere except maybe in some places In the US. But it’s good to have competition. Wish we had serious competition for YouTube. Monopolies are terrible.

[NerfRhett]

All this, and we still don’t have an official calculator app for iPad

I bet Craig’s back hurts after carrying the presentation.

[danel]

who remembers those weathers animations from HTC back in the day lol

[TampaRob]

The eyebrows were the most interesting part

[obidean]

Is it just me or Apple Maps low-key becoming closer to City Skyline, I'm not complaining tho, it's gorgeous :D

[bjct]

Craig can make anything feel like a huge technological advancement

[nnns]

Apple is moving towards Android in terms of features. Android is moving towards Apple in terms of looks.

Thanks to Verge Editors for making the keynote short and nice!

[AJ_Stark]

Did the editor from Verge get a raise yet?
It's a well deserved one!!

Fastest quick bites ever!

I wish there were chapters on this video js

[imagoFX]

I love how they used an old looking android phone in the facetime section...

[Kyubi]

You guys are the MVP for doing this every time!

[chuffmeister]

The virtual audience reminds me of a black mirror episode

[bushcat]

sad, that the iPad M1 hardware is not being utilised. Wanted to really replace my laptop, but now I still cannot.

[M.r..R.i.c.e.]

i never thought i'd see the day where apple makes something compatible with android users

[TheNism]

Finally. We can show our status to our contacts just like AIM and ICQ in the 90s.

[BKent-ckvj]

yes, my takeaway from this WWDC is to NEVER listen to Mac bloggers again, all they do is copy one another! Completely WRONG on MacBook Pro!
