Apple Highlights New Services Features Coming This Fall

Source: Apple.

As much as I love the keynote, one of the parts of WWDC I look forward to the most each year is Apple’s roundup of features and changes coming to its services alongside the fall’s OS updates. The company delivered on my hopes this morning with quite a long list of changes.

Flowvi.be – Experience your favourite music like never before - simple playlists are out, Flowvi.be is in.

Speaking of these enhancements, Apple’s senior vice president of Services, Eddy Cue, said:

“We’re excited to bring powerful new features and intelligence to hundreds of millions of users across Apple services, making their experiences even more useful and fun. From new exploration tools with Flyover and Local Lists in Maps, to more convenient ways to pay and get paid in Apple Wallet, to the continued expansion of video podcasts in Apple Podcasts on Mac and in tvOS, and so much more — these updates reflect our commitment to creating experiences that truly make a difference in people’s lives.”

Here’s some of what’s new with Apple’s services this year:

a redesigned Apple Pay that lets you quickly swipe between cards in your Wallet

expiring and pausable location sharing in Find My

custom pass creation in Wallet using any QR code or barcode from a physical card

full-resolution photo sharing and temporary Shared Albums in Photos

intelligently curated Local Lists in Maps based on trending spots in your area

bill splitting with Visual Intelligence and Apple Cash

video podcasts on macOS and tvOS

improved AutoMix in Music that’s now available on tvOS and HomePod

It’s great to see Apple continually push its services forward year after year to better serve users. Personally, I’m eager to turn my library card into a pass in Wallet so I don’t have to carry it around anymore, and I’m interested in checking out Local Lists in Maps, too.
