A summary of cool Apple things (to me) that were announced today at WWDC, besides the Apple Vision Pro.
Any I missed worth sharing?

-CarPlay will now have SharePlay, enabling people other than the driver to connect and send music to be played in the car. No need to switch Bluetooth settings or cords anymore

-iPhone is getting contact posters. Rather than setting profile pictures for your friends, it will essentially work in reverse, with you setting up how you want to appear when you call somebody

-FaceTime is coming to Apple TV, using connectivity camera through your iPhone/iPad/Mac.

-Apple invented widgets for iPad that are interactive rather than being glorified app launchers

-AirTags can now be shared with family through family sharing

-You can find Apple TV remotes through Find My now, similar to AirTags

-Mac can turn webpages on Safari into quick web apps. Will be interesting to see if that is cool for Cougarboard

-A new horizontal standby feature/Lock Screen for the latest iPhones when wireless charging

-Siri will now be accidentally triggered by saying “Siri” instead of “Hey Siri”

-If you call a friend or family member on FaceTime and they don’t answer you can leave them a short video message like a voicemail

-If you decline a call and send it to voicemail, a transcription will show up live if the spam caller leaves you a voicemail, verifying that you didn’t want to pick that up in the first place. Like a 25 years later iPhone version of voicemail tapes.

-AirPod Pro 2s have a new Adaptive Audio feature that will switch between transparency mode and noise cancelling and will lower the volume when you start talking so you don’t have to pull out your AirPods when some rano interrupts you to talk to you.

-Easier AirPlay connectivity coming to more hotel rooms

-Android messages will stay green reminding you never to talk to them in the first place, a feature not a bug.
