A list of OS X / tvOS / watchOS / other wishes for WWDC

OS X

  • Bandwidth management
    • Have a low bandwidth mode
    • only apps that opt into the low bandwidth API are allowed internet access
    • such apps receive notifications of entering low bandwidth mode and would have to request access before being able to use internet
    • would allow Dropbox to, say, learn of new updates and create share links but not download files
  • DnD
    • option to prompt with a single notification each hour to question if DnD should be turned off
  • Siri
    • scriptable automation
  • Sound Menu Bar Extension

watchOS

(I haven't bought one yet; Here's some things that might entice me)

  • ability to record an audio note with one touch, siri speech recognition if possible (i.e. not too loud, etc), and email it to one's self (or sync via some other useful manner)
  • A face with many, many more complications
  • Universal configurable gesture support
    • Be able to draw gestures on the watch face and it trigger an app on my iPhone to do something
    • e.g. Make a call to someone, send a predefined text, start a run, play a playlist, store a timestamp in some kind of life tracking software, etc.

Other

  • Home hub (time machine replacement)
    • Siri enabled version of the Echo
    • cache media for offline watching on TV (replacing iTunes running on a Mac)
    • time machine in the cloud (backup to time machine and this then backs up to the cloud)
