OPLIN 4Cast #674: Apple dominates tech news this week, even virtually
June 24th, 2020

[image: Apple phone with earbuds] This week, Apple holds its annual
Worldwide Developers Conference: the big gala held every June when Apple
developers get together to learn and network, and hear the latest updates
from the company. Of course, like all such mass gatherings, it has been
transformed by COVID-19 and moved online. But going online has not kept
Apple from dominating tech headlines this week.



   -
   - Apple's Intel Breakup Will Reshape Macs—and Beyond
   <https://www.wired.com/story/apple-will-put-its-own-chips-into-macs/> [
   *Wired*] "What an ARM-based future means for you: A world in which you
   don’t buy iPhone apps or iPad apps or Mac apps, but just Apple apps that
   work on whatever device you own."
   - tvOS, surround-sound AirPods, and more: The other big WWDC
   announcements
   <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/06/tvos-surround-sound-airpods-and-more-the-other-big-wwdc-announcements/#p3>
   [*Ars Technica*] "Apple has started baking privacy features and
   principles directly into both its software and hardware... Users will be
   able to choose to show an application only their general location, rather
   than getting hyper-specific."
   - Apple turns the iPhone into the key for your car
   <https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/22/apple-turns-the-iphone-into-the-key-for-your-car/>
   [*TechCrunch*] "Once the key is added to the iPhone, owners can share
   the key with other iPhones through iMessage. When sharing, the owner can
   limit the permissions of the key. Again, details are light, but it seems
   like this will allow parents to restrict the use of a vehicle to teenagers."
   - Apple’s ARKit 4 introduces new depth capabilities and expands face
   tracking to more devices
   <https://venturebeat.com/2020/06/22/apples-arkit-4-0-introduces-new-depth-capabilities-and-expands-face-tracking-to-more-devices/>
   [*VentureBeat*] "ARKit 4’s Location Anchoring supports the placement of
   AR experiences throughout cities, alongside famous landmarks, and
   elsewhere. More concretely, it allows developers to anchor AR creations at
   specific latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates such that users can
   move around virtual objects and see them from different perspectives."
