Everyone is so down on Apple right now. Meanwhile I'm excited by what was announced at WWDC, am quite happy with Apple Intelligence features as they stand today, and am really excited by these rumors of where Apple is going with it all. I guess I'm just more patient and don't want junk.

But it's not the one you're thinking of! The one that's really cool is the Megaintelligence Event Horizon!! See how cool AI is! It's so smart and stuff!

Can't wait for Carrot Weather to use access to Apple Intelligence to roast me based on my personal on-device data.

I was talking about this among friends yesterday. When I was in the Navy and any kind of official visit occurred, we were instructed to behave a certain way under severe penalty if anything went wrong. I'm sure that has only amplified under Trump. Cheer or get demoted or don't attend. Yep.

Ah yes, a deal has been struck. Master negotiator where Americans pay more than they ever did for Chinese goods and China keeps a very high 10% on our goods, forcing locals to look outside of the US for goods. Yep, art of the deal.

Question one, where can I get some of those acrylic/glass app icon and UI bits shown in the WWDC keynote?

Always nice to hear Apple executives echo sentiments I've been sharing in articles and podcasts these past few months. Apple is clearly approaching AI differently, so why is the narrative focused on what they're not doing instead of what they are?

This is like when they renamed the Apple TV to Apple TV HD.

Amber has a great post on why this WWDC might feel a bit lackluster. Love that she's basically the opposite of me on so many Apple things (it's a good thing). Keeps me from flying away with my fandom.

Ignore the typo, but yes, I went into a lot of detail with my initial thoughts on iPadOS 26. I'm excited for these changes, but I wonder how the rest of the community will respond. I mention @viticci.macstories.net, @snell.zone, and @chrislawley.me and what they've said on iPad in the past year.

tvOS needs a "cycle all possible screensavers" option. Like, show a pic of my cat for a while, then do some aerial flyovers, then Snoopy. Just mix it up.

Mild concern that my Apple Journal streaks are different on iPhone and iPad. iPhone shows a 282 day streak. iPad shows 30. I don't care if it loses that streak, I just want them to be the same number. Very excited that it's on iPad at all though, and in beta 1!

Whoops, about 3k words on iPadOS 26 written and probably running in the morning.

@viticci.macstories.net or whoever I'm trying to remember the person and the story they wrote about wanting to use iPad as Apple intended and stop trying to force it to be something it isn't. Search is failing me here. I want to link to it, but all I can remember is it was possibly @macstories.net

Image Playground Animation style in iPadOS 26 vs the original version in iPadOS 18. It's not perfect and has a way to go, but significantly better here.

It's a wild day in iPad land. Apple certainly addressed many of my concerns and wish list items, but it didn't hit everything. appleinsider.com/articles/24/...

Apple should end each WWDC with a slide of all the apps they just sherlocked. I think it's a big list this year.

Nearly everything shared during WWDC 2025 will fundamentally change how I use all of my technology in the best ways. It's going to be a crazy year for my workflows and personal use cases.

Well, that was an amazing WWDC. If you've been following me for these past few years, you'll know that nearly every new feature in iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS were part of my wish lists at some point. Really happy with spatial widgets. Was a big one on my wish list and discussion on the podcast.

It's almost time for WWDC. While I'm busy playing Mario Kart on the Switch 2, I managed to link out to some of our coverage prior to the event. Excited to dive into everything next week. www.hilli.tech/apples-week-...

I go in depth on my feelings about the current Apple developer relations situation as we enter WWDC 2025.

It's not hard to understand. ICE wants to operate with the same anonymity they get when posting racist memes on X.

There should be a menu in Mario Kart like in Smash Bros where you can toggle off some items. We'd all be turning off the blue shell.

This looks cool. If you've got an Apple Vision Pro and want to see what these guys are putting together for WWDC, check it out. There are demo videos in the app, and a WWDC stream next week.

Switch 2 acquired. At least 200 people in line at our little GameStop

I'm aware that this is small potatoes considering all of the implications of this travel ban, but I wonder if this impacts anyone trying to attend WWDC. Seriously, I don't want to be writing stories next week of devs being disappeared to a slave prison.

When I get to write about anything gaming related, I get carried away. Hope we see more gaming at WWDC, Vision Pro and beyond.

Time for a whole new monetization strategy for the App Store. Funny enough, I think Apple is in a good spot to completely upend the industry in a way that's good for Apple and devs. Apple needs a win here, and they've got the cash and headroom to provide it. Just have to get past the nonsense.
