Location awareness

When you’re working, you don’t really need multiple devices screaming at you

-

We love Continuity and the manner in which Apple is thoughtful­ly increasing integratio­n between devices, but we wish the system would be a bit more intelligen­t. If you’re busy working on your Mac and a message comes in, you might welcome a notificati­on on your screen. Chances are you won’t be thrilled by all of your nearby iPads and iPhones blaring out the same notificati­on over the next few seconds. We’d like devices to be more aware of their proximity to each other, intelligen­tly feeding notificati­ons and actionable alerts to the device you’re working with, not all of them. (Again, this could be optional should you thrive on cacophony.)

If all your devices are in one place, there’s no need for all of them to fire notificati­ons at your eyes and ears.
