Happy #WWDC day!

I didn’t have time for a full wishlist post this year, so here’s an abbreviated version:

  • iPhone Mirroring for iPadOS
  • New Spotlight for iPadOS
  • Terminal.app for iPadOS
  • WireGuard VPN service for iCloud+
  • Email distribution lists for iCloud+

These are mostly end-user improvements, but a terminal app for iPadOS (potentially including support for containers; https://github.com/apple/container) would be nice for hacking on the go. And a built-in mesh VPN service would be rad for building cross platform apps that would allow your phone to reach your Mac when you leave it at home. This is already possible with Tailscale, but Apple should really offer that level of integration out of the box (or just acquire Tailscale?!). I suspect they would never offer a free WireGuard VPN since it could eat into iCloud storage revenue, so make it part of iCloud+?

That’s my random assortment of wishlist items. No AI because I know not to get my hopes up about Siri, but I think there are some really interesting directions Apple could take that. Looking forward to the keynote!! 🍿
