WWDC 26 Thread Thoughts
Reposting my Threads thread while watching WWDC 26
By now you've probably heard or seen plenty of reactions, reviews, and commentary to Apple's WWDC keynote yesterday so feel free to skip mine a day late.
I used my Threads account to post my reactions / thoughts about the keynote as I was watching it and figured I'd archive them here since Threads will likely become awful at some point in the future.
Hey Tim Apple—I really want to play a flying VW bus video game
- iOS 27 supporting all the same iPhones as iOS 26 is great news. No need to find hand me downs for my kid's phones to keep them current. lol
- Apple's been promising better child / teen screen settings for years. It feels like they'll figure it out just as all my kid's age out of the need for it.
- I'm honestly shocked how much time they're spending on parental controls in this WWDC keynote. Either they don't have a lot of other content and need filler, or they *really* believe in it this year.
- Apple stating the obvious: AI is a feature they only want if it helps the user, which helps Apple sell more products.
- I love the way they're demo'ing the new Siri with much more awareness of information on your device. But these are also very controlled and edited demos, not a live on stage demo like Apple used to do. The proof will be in all the weird edge cases in real life.
- Siri AI powered by Apple Intelligence... or SAIAI?
- Siri AI for Safari lets you vibe code custom extensions and automatically change passwords for you on websites. That seems like a recipe for security issues somehow?
- Apple: Vibe code your own shortcuts in Siri AI for Shortcuts. @stephenrobles: "oh shit" 😆
- I kinda wish iOS would allow me to turn Siri AI photo reframing on automatically for some folks who never edit their photos at all.
- iOS / macOS 27 Golden Gate available this fall.If Apple didn't keep mentioning the Vision Pro, I'd honestly forget it exists.
- 👋 saying goodbye to Tim Cook at his last WWDC keynote. What a run taking over from Steve Jobs' giant legacy.
- Via @db@social.lol: "wwdc went from "child safety is important" to "we have deepfakes too""
- Via @rachelskirts@mastodon.social: every person watching this just learned that “agentic” is one of their personal icks
- Going back to the start of this thread - wouldn't it be so much to go on adventures in a flying VW van?
