Apple Unveils iOS 12 Siri Shortcuts and Software Updates at WWDC 2018
Apple focuses entirely on software at WWDC 2018, announcing major updates across all of its operating systems including a highly customizable Siri Shortcuts feature for iOS 12.
Apple CEO Tim Cook kicks off WWDC 2018 in San Jose by declaring that the event is entirely about software, setting the stage for a massive wave of updates coming later this year to the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Mac.
The standout feature of iOS 12 is Siri Shortcuts, which gives users the ability to create custom voice commands and automated routines for their devices.
This new functionality integrates directly with third-party apps, allowing people to trigger complex actions like ordering a custom coffee simply by speaking a specific phrase to Siri without ever manually opening the application.
