If I could pick just one feature for Apple to add in iOS 17, it would be a system-wide clipboard history. (Or APIs that would allow third-party apps to implement a system-wide clipboard history, but I think sandboxing would make that impossible. Probably has to be an OS feature.)

@gruber I’d pick group message typing bubbles.

You think the clipboard history would be in the dark drop-down thingy, or like a new keyboard when invoked?

@rjj My first idea: make it a long tap action on rge Paste button here:

@gruber @rjj this UI easily extends vertically and might be a reasonable fit in a long-press context.

@gruber maybe they bury it further right in that thing, just like when you see converted values.

@rjj @gruber I’d pick message threads with “Hide Alerts” don’t badge the app icon. Or albums in shared photo library.

@rjj @gruber Actually no, the objectively right answer is “iMessage attachments are stored in iCloud by default and don’t take up on-device storage beyond some reasonable cache size”

@irace @gruber very good answer. Confuses me every time.

@irace @rjj That seems impossible given 5 GB default storage.

@gruber @rjj Sure, but what about for those of us with more?

In other words, why can’t this just behave like iCloud Photos do?

@gruber @irace it would be a feature, like iCloud Photos?

@gruber I was really hoping you’d mention the 5GB when Craig gave you the “always do what’s best for the user” talk…
But great job on the interview, was interesting to see Turnis pass on explaining MBP 13”, and Joz having to acknowledge the Mac Pro discrete GPU weakness.

@rjj @gruber I’d pick clearing a notification from Notification Center when expanded from the banner. Currently, only banner notifications from Messages are cleared this way. All other notifications remain in Notifciation Center until they are cleared from it.
