Apple Invites

This era of new experimental apps from Apple (Invites, Journal, Sports) has me excited about the future of app design. Vibrant colors, bold personality-driven typography, etc. The SwiftUI style onboarding screen that features the carousel is really fun. This approach feels very Apple'y, but gives me more freedom to explore designs for my own app to have its own unique voice on iOS, while still feeling in-family with Apple's other more experimental UI.

There are a few misses.

- I already declined a friend's invite, but that doesn't get auto filtered away, so my "decline" is still the primary thing the app has to show me. It's still my only invite, so maybe it gets filtered to the back of the card stack if there are multiple?

- I also don't seem to be able to see friends I know who were invited to the party (but have not yet responded). Perhaps it was because it was shared as an invite URL in a group chat rather than manually inviting everyone?

It might be thought of as a bug but I love that the Apple Sports app announces scores for a live game before it hits TV.

In this day and age of everyone multitasking ... that's a hell of a great feature to be able to say "guys look!".

For a while I was amazing my kids predicting touchdowns, but they caught on ;)

Less latency is a feature, not a bug. We've just grown too used to latency in everything we use.

The lag between OTA broadcast and cable/streaming is insanely bad. We had several screens tuned in to World Cup, and the group watching the OTA broadcast would cheer 15-20 seconds before the cable/streaming screens would. Knowing it exists is one thing, but seeing it in that manner puts it on a whole other level

Why does it matter that information from a sports event that you are 1000 miles away from gets to you 3 seconds later?

Why do you care? Why is it a negative?
