Now we need Apple or a third party to release a keyboard cover with a trackpad.

OMG, mouse and trackpad support in iPad OS. Now THAT is what I was wanting.

Agreed, so good

Wish it was a mouse pointer though rather than the large spot pointer, but it's a good start

Also psyched that XBOX and PS controllers are now supported!

When the new iPhones come out, so mid-late September I think. There will be public seeds from July.

Usually with the new phones in September.

Thanks Chaps!

The mouse support looks a little limited, its really just a pointer - one of the Dev's who downloaded the Beta last night was saying that you can't use it to select text for example, just to point.

I've begun to lose interest in these events a little of late, as development seems to have really plateaued and anything of significance that's new is often denied to the older generation hardware.

I eat my own words. Really interesting new OS updates.

Those Mac Pro and screen prices though.... lol Apple!

No one mentioned they added swipe based typing to the keyboard in iOS 13.....FINALLY!

Apple ID thing is most welcome.

The Apple ID system will be awesome! could you imaging how many passwords you will need to remember if you could integrate a proper working ID system! this means you could even log into likes of facebook e.t.c with fingerprint ID or face ID...big changes are coming.

RobTi · 4 Jun 2019 at 21:07

okay at what point were they discussing the apple id ?

visibleman · 4 Jun 2019 at 21:10

Am i right in thinking the 'Sign in with Apple ID' is the same as Google, Facebook, Twitter et al? If not, what distinguishes it from them?

Steedie · 4 Jun 2019 at 21:25

I wouldn’t get excited about the mouse support. It doesn’t do anything useful. It can’t be used to select anything or drag/highlight text etc. It’s literally just a pointer

I think it's going to work roughly the same - the difference is the privacy model that Apple are going for, the randomly generated email address to stop spam, the lack of data going to Apple or Advertisers etc.

'Eggs all in one basket' springs to mind with all of these 'Sign In' providers, hence why i don't use them. But the random email address bit sounds interesting; is that the address it hands to the site as such?

b0rn2sk8 · 4 Jun 2019 at 23:29

Hey said the sign in with Apple service, it gives the site a dummy address and doesn’t feed your information to advertisers like Facebook or Google.

Each application will have an automatically generated email address which will then forward to your actual email address - this allows you to easily identify and unsubscribe to any apps/services you no longer want and they never know your actual details so you just remove them. I get your point about eggs in a basket, but I would rather apps use Apples sign in than have to continuously create their own and attempt to handle authentication on their own, at least we know it's going to be secure and private with Apple.

Can do that already with Lastpass or others.

Great. But now Apple do it so it is presumably more integrated.
