A few things I hope to see this year at WWDC:

• A general theme on speed and reliability at the OS and app level. Especially Mail and Music.
• iPadOS battery management (charge to 80% and hold)
• Siri audiobook integration. My kids have Alexa devices in their rooms and I’d love to upgrade them to HomePod Minis but they are big audiobook listeners.
• 4-box for everything on Apple TV, not just blessed MLS or other sports content
• Shared playlists on Apple Music. Shocking this still isn’t a thing.
• Shortcuts on the Lock Screen
• Interactive widgets
• Selective sync on iCloud Drive. I don’t want to sync everything in iCloud to my work computer, but I also don’t want to turn it off completely.
• Extensions for 3rd party browsers. I’d love to be able to use ad blockers and 1Password in other iOS browsers.
• Spotlight “extensions” that allow developers to build functionality into it.
• Show link previews for SMS messages without having to tap on the link first.

I’m indifferent on all of the VR stuff. I think it’ll be exciting but also something I know I won’t buy or use for a long time.
