WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.000 Apple was the first to bring the desktop operating system to the masses with the mouse. 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.360 They gave us simple music searching with the clickwheel, and then they managed to rise the 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:15.880 computer with multi-touch on the iPhone. 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:21.040 But all of these magical interfaces require us to touch our computer, so then they introduced 00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:25.480 hands-free interaction with Siri. But it wasn't magical. 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.440 Because what Apple showed us at this year's WWDC could meaningfully change how you interact 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.880 with the computer. Wow, that was so cool! 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. 00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:52.960 Tim Cook introduced AI by really reining in expectation and establishing a set of core 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 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.800 so that something like Siri can finally become useful. 00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:07.920 So for instance, Siri gets on-device screen awareness and in-app actions. 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.200 This means you can continuously direct Siri to perform actions in and between apps, perhaps 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.680 even faster than if you were to tap away yourself. 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 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 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.200 app-intense API for developers to integrate into their apps. 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.680 For us users, Apple Intelligence is designed to know our personal context, so if someone 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 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.920 not in your calendar. Though it should be, so ask for it to be added. 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:53.640 Siri up until now has felt like a decaying entity, constantly prompting web results at 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:02.120 the easiest queries. Siri, does the LTT Store sell tall clothes? 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:09.560 They do sell tall clothes, which is great. How long is the film jobs? 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? 00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:17.640 The answer I found is 6 feet. Here's what I found. 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 00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:29.720 a concept video, so how all this works in practice is still a big question mark. 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 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 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.120 wall gets hit. Like Apple, I've been a bit skeptical about this whole AI thing. 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. 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 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. 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:08.920 They showed mostly the animation style, which looks like it's arguably the worst. 00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:13.680 Much better is custom GenMoji, taking the uni out of Unicode. 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? 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 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:32.520 great. AI can summarize or completely rewrite anything you've written in any app. 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:39.960 Me. 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.520 This tech stuff can be useful even if you're not writing though. 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.920 Like how mail will now summarize incoming messages in your inbox before you click on 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 00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:58.600 the message? What if that person is being sarcastic? Like what do you say? 00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:01.760 Oh sorry, I missed that because I read the summary. 00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:06.080 Apple talked a lot about privacy with their implementation of AI. 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 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.040 processing on device as possible, which is great. 00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:17.760 But for everything else, they'll be sending only the relevant info to get processed on 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 00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:29.040 lawyer combing through the endless user policies to actually make me feel secure. 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. 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 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:45.680 OS. All they announced was a floating tab bar, which won't help much. 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.640 On the other hand, I'm pleased to report that there's finally a calculator. 00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:54.600 It's only taken 14 years so maybe there's hope for everything else? 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 00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:04.880 out your formulas and doesn't the calculations for you. 00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:09.240 Need or still, if you have any variables, it'll figure out their context and update 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.520 the results if you make any changes to the numbers. 00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:16.960 It's the magic of Excel brought to the old style math on the page. 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. 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. 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.800 Perfect for making your apps hard to find and your app icons uglier. 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 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 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.240 when your phone's out of reach. 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.080 Does this mean the iPhone has mouse support now? 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:56.840 Cause that'd be crazy. It was a pretty light event when it comes to features. 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 00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:07.680 boring screenshots and document photos out of your life photos more assertively. 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 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.840 has been getting really stressful lately in there. Oh yeah! 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 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. 00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:30.800 For instance, they'll now try and turn your 2D photos into 3D spatial photos. 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 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.800 spatial videos. As a video creator, it's something I'm interested in trying. 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.120 However, as of now, they'll only be distributed in the Vimeo app. 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. 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. 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.880 Okay, so what was missed? 00:06:57.880 --> 00:07:02.880 Not much actually, but I still want a journal app for at least the iPad. 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 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.200 to look like buttons. Thanks for waiting so long for this Mac Address. 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. 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:25.800 I'm curious in the comments below what WWC announcements really stuck out to you. 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:26.680 Health stuff on the watch?
