Turning iPad, Mac, and more into a single unit
Universal Control was the wow moment of WWDC 2021, as Craig Federighi dragged a file from his iPad, across his MacBook Pro screen, and dropped it into Final Cut Pro on an iMac. Universal Control gave us the ability to use one keyboard and trackpad — in this case his MacBook Pro — and seamlessly use other nearby devices.
No wonder Federighi looked excited. But it turns out that this may have been less his turn to present something at WWDC, and more of a project he is particularly invested in.
