1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Apple was the first to bring the desktop operating system to the masses with the mouse.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,360
They gave us simple music searching with the clickwheel, and then they managed to rise the

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,880
computer with multi-touch on the iPhone.

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,040
But all of these magical interfaces require us to touch our computer, so then they introduced

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,480
hands-free interaction with Siri. But it wasn't magical.

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Because what Apple showed us at this year's WWDC could meaningfully change how you interact

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,880
with the computer. Wow, that was so cool!

8
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,440
So I don't know if you've heard of AI, but it actually stands for Apple Intelligence.

9
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,960
Tim Cook introduced AI by really reining in expectation and establishing a set of core

10
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,320
values behind it. It's not about taking your job, but bringing together all the disparate parts of your device

11
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,800
so that something like Siri can finally become useful.

12
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,920
So for instance, Siri gets on-device screen awareness and in-app actions.

13
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,200
This means you can continuously direct Siri to perform actions in and between apps, perhaps

14
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,680
even faster than if you were to tap away yourself.

15
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,720
This is going to bring us closer to realizing our vision in which Siri moves through the

16
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,560
system in concert with you. This is not easy stuff to just get right, and to help things along, Apple created an

17
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,200
app-intense API for developers to integrate into their apps.

18
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,680
For us users, Apple Intelligence is designed to know our personal context, so if someone

19
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,000
scheduled a time to hang out with you in a text, Siri can reference that even if it's

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,920
not in your calendar. Though it should be, so ask for it to be added.

21
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Siri up until now has felt like a decaying entity, constantly prompting web results at

22
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:02,120
the easiest queries. Siri, does the LTT Store sell tall clothes?

23
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:09,560
They do sell tall clothes, which is great. How long is the film jobs?

24
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,520
It's given me the runtime for an Indian film called the film. Now how long is jobs?

25
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:17,640
The answer I found is 6 feet. Here's what I found.

26
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:24,320
I found this on the web. Because Apple doesn't do live demos anymore, we only really get to see what is effectively

27
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,720
a concept video, so how all this works in practice is still a big question mark.

28
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Probably one of the craziest things you could ever do is a voice recognition demo on stage

29
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:40,360
in front of an audience. There's a lot of possibility here, but I'm curious how it will feel once a capability

30
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,120
wall gets hit. Like Apple, I've been a bit skeptical about this whole AI thing.

31
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,320
I'm too much of a control freak to trust a computer model to make decisions for me.

32
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Image generation? Eh, it's cool, but I can usually tell an image that has been generated, which kind

33
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,760
of kills the satisfaction. And so Apple has implemented a pretty simple generator that sticks to making illustrations.

34
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,920
They showed mostly the animation style, which looks like it's arguably the worst.

35
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,680
Much better is custom GenMoji, taking the uni out of Unicode.

36
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,920
Here's a question. Would you use a GenMoji that looks like you or stick with Memoji?

37
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,280
Comment your favorite below. As a writer, I'm especially skeptical about the writing tools, though you might find it

38
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,520
great. AI can summarize or completely rewrite anything you've written in any app.

39
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Me.

40
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,520
This tech stuff can be useful even if you're not writing though.

41
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Like how mail will now summarize incoming messages in your inbox before you click on

42
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,720
them. It can also summarize long emails too. Though be careful, because what if you miss an important point the sender included in

43
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,600
the message? What if that person is being sarcastic? Like what do you say?

44
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,760
Oh sorry, I missed that because I read the summary.

45
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Apple talked a lot about privacy with their implementation of AI.

46
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,400
For instance, it's only available on the more powerful chips so they can do as much

47
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,040
processing on device as possible, which is great.

48
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,760
But for everything else, they'll be sending only the relevant info to get processed on

49
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,280
their private cloud compute. This all sounds good, but the industry has robbed so much goodwill that it'll take a

50
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:29,040
lawyer combing through the endless user policies to actually make me feel secure.

51
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,480
So everything else? Just about every operating system got touched, but not as much as I'd hoped.

52
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,360
For instance, I've been using the new powerful iPad Pro and I'm still frustrated by iPad

53
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,680
OS. All they announced was a floating tab bar, which won't help much.

54
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,640
On the other hand, I'm pleased to report that there's finally a calculator.

55
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,600
It's only taken 14 years so maybe there's hope for everything else?

56
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,760
But it's not just a button calculator. People struggling with their math homework can use math notes, which lets you scribble

57
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880
out your formulas and doesn't the calculations for you.

58
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,240
Need or still, if you have any variables, it'll figure out their context and update

59
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,520
the results if you make any changes to the numbers.

60
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,960
It's the magic of Excel brought to the old style math on the page.

61
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:24,000
Here's another small thing that took forever. iOS will now let you place your app icons anywhere on the home screen.

62
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Yes, it's finally happened. And if you're feeling weird, you can tint all your app icons to match.

63
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Perfect for making your apps hard to find and your app icons uglier.

64
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,920
You can do all this from your Mac too, as continuity will now let you see and control

65
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,600
your iPhone remotely. Notifications will appear on your desktop and files can be easily transferred over for

66
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,240
when your phone's out of reach.

67
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,080
Does this mean the iPhone has mouse support now?

68
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,840
Cause that'd be crazy. It was a pretty light event when it comes to features.

69
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:02,840
They spent some time showing off the photos app redesign. Great for those of you who have committed to iCloud Photos, but mainly keeps up the

70
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:07,680
boring screenshots and document photos out of your life photos more assertively.

71
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,360
I'm excited to see how the new MailApps categories feature will tame and organize all my emails

72
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,840
has been getting really stressful lately in there. Oh yeah!

73
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:21,200
And the Vision Pro. They didn't really have much to say about it other than showing off a few apps on the

74
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,280
device, which I'm curious to try now. The big thing was really with photos and videos.

75
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,800
For instance, they'll now try and turn your 2D photos into 3D spatial photos.

76
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:38,480
And there's progress on the spatial video workflows too. You can actually get a lens for a Canon camera or a Blackmagic camera now and edit and export

77
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,800
spatial videos. As a video creator, it's something I'm interested in trying.

78
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,120
However, as of now, they'll only be distributed in the Vimeo app.

79
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,560
If we do make a spatial video, you're going to have to get a Vision Pro to watch it.

80
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,160
I don't make the rules, but don't worry, it's coming to more countries this summer.

81
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Okay, so what was missed?

82
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,880
Not much actually, but I still want a journal app for at least the iPad.

83
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:09,160
I want iPad apps to behave predictably when using a mouse and trackpad, and I want buttons

84
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,200
to look like buttons. Thanks for waiting so long for this Mac Address.

85
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,360
I'm actually going to explain what happened in the next video, so stay tuned for that.

86
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:25,800
I'm curious in the comments below what WWC announcements really stuck out to you.

87
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Health stuff on the watch?
