Kind of like the concept of a Journal app but managing what gets included automatically seems like it could be annoying.

It’ll be the next Freeform that nobody uses. Maybe I’m weird, but Apple’s suggestions systemwide - from messages to Apple Music are at best useless, but mostly annoying.

I've thought the iPhone needed a nighttime stand like that since back when it was just the iPod

No it’s terrible lol. Sometimes it rejects a command thinking you asked it something it doesn’t know how to do, when it did it perfectly yesterday with the same command.

Standby turns my phone into a clone of my friends' lovely Google tablet thingy that lives on a stand in the kitchen.

I think that's actually kind of cool?

Yeah they're harmless but distracting so they've been a net negative for me.

In theory, these new apps are a chance for Apple to eat their own dog food and find gaps in the public APIs but not sure they always follow the rules.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

As someone with very low expectations for it I say it's Fine. Pretty much does what I ask of it which is to pause something's playback or to write a note while driving.

Yeah it's pretty lovely - I have no freaking clue why car companies are starting to fight against it.

It became a solved problem and now they are unsolving it. I probably won't buy a car unless it has Carplay support.
