One of the biggest announcement made during WWDC 2014 so far is the Apple Continuity system. Unlike previous iOS updates, this is much more extensive. In a nutshell, the relationship between one's Macbook and iPhone has just been taken to the next level.
Although the Apple Continuity system will make it easier for people to juggle content across different devices. The New York Times writes, "For example, a user can connect a Mac and an iPad, making it possible to compose an email on a Mac, and then swipe up on the iPad screen to resume writing the same email. A phone conversation on an iPhone can be transferred to a Mac, too." This is a marriage that will be celebrated for years to come.
