Follow along here as we update this article live with all the latest details from Apple's keynote event at WWDC 2014. The overarching theme for this year is continuity between OS X and iOS devices. With OS X 10.10 Yosemite, Apple is enabling AirDrop file transfers between Macs and iOS devices, but that's just the start of a series of new Handoff features that make transitioning between phone and desktop seamless. You can now handle SMS messages and phone calls directly on your computer, and if you see a phone number on a webpage, you just click it and use the Mac as your speakerphone. The new iCloud Drive file sharing service is also coming to iOS just as it is with OS X. CONTINUITY BETWEEN IOS AND OS X IS AT THE HEART OF APPLE'S 2014 CHANGES Widgets are finally coming to iOS with this new version, with third-party apps being allowed to define widgets in the Notification Center. They're still not on the home screen, but they are interactive, with a demo on stage showing how you can bid up an eBay auction straight from the widget. Health and Family Sharing are the two big new features being introduced today. Health is the mobile app that plugs into Apple's new HealthKit, a comprehensive health-tracking service that can pull in data from third-party fitness apps and can be accessed by healthcare professionals. Family Sharing is more immediately exciting as it's the first time that Apple is allowing the sharing of iTunes purchases, along with the sharing of calendars, group messages, and the like. You also get notifications if a family member wants permission to access a particular app. Tim Cook describes iOS 8 as "a huge release" that actually has two stories: one with a ton of new features for end users and the other rich on new capabilities for developers. Starting with the user side of things, you can now respond to incoming messages directly from the notification drop-down, and you no longer need to exit the app you're already in.
