The Apple Watch is considered to be an iPhone accessory, but the announcements made at WWDC 2019 appear to point toward a future where the device is a much more standalone platform.

Television viewing is a very personal thing, so it’s very smart for Apple to realize that different members of a family will want to get their own recommendations from an Apple TV 4K.

For developers, this was probably interesting, but since the vast majority don’t develop movies and TV shows it was just eye candy.

In this Deeper Dive, I’ll detail some of the more fascinating announcements from Apple’s event and what they mean for Apple users.
