1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,839
Apple has renamed, as predicted, all of their operating systems after the year

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:15,679
2026, meaning iOS is going to jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26. So, please, uh, moment

3
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:17,520
of silence for iOS 19 through 25. It

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:21,279
just sucks cuz I knew 23 was going to be good. But the rebranding announced

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,720
during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote this morning

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,400
represents some of the most substantial changes to Apple's software in years.

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,440
iOS, iPad OS, macOS, Watch OS, TV OS,

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,000
and Vision OS will share a new unified

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:42,160
design language called liquid glass, which brings back some skuomorphism. UI

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,960
elements warp and refract light. Apple says they behave just like glass in the

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,200
real world. For instance, menu bars can be shattered and used as improvised

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,360
weapons in an emergency. Apple also highlighted more dynamic controls which

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,440
will appear when the system thinks you need them and disappear when it thinks

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:05,280
you don't. An approach that has caused frustration in the past, but we have AI

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:10,560
now. So, but we'll talk AI later because what Apple called the biggest iPad OS

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,880
release ever involves finally giving iPads a new window management system

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:21,040
that works pretty much like macOS or Windows, unlike Stage Manager, which is

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,680
still a thing. And separate from this, apparently, multiple Windows can be

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,840
resized with what Apple calls a grab

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,400
handle and repositioned anywhere or

21
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,960
flicked to snap to the side. But there's more tiling options under each Windows

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:42,479
controls for minimize, maximize, and close like macOS, which you can click

23
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:48,799
with the new mouse pointer that looks like a freaking mouse pointer. What is

24
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:54,560
there's even a menu bar with drop-downs for file, edit, etc. at the top and

25
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:58,960
folder stacks in the dock just like macOS. I keep saying it. 2019 Riley

26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:04,560
reviewing iPads online as tech tips is losing his the Mac OSing doesn't stop

27
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:10,319
there. The iPad OS files app gets more detail and an open with default app

28
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:12,800
option. Background tasks allows say a

29
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:18,720
video render to complete without the app autoc closing and preview is finally on

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,560
iPad with the annotation autofilling and other stuff you can do to PDFs. Don't

31
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,160
tell me about it. I don't want to know. There's also improvements to audio,

32
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:31,520
video, and screen recording that seem cool. But I got to be honest, I'd rather

33
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,920
move on to macOS 26 and the upgraded

34
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,800
Spotlight Search, which continues to seem like a glorious angel from heaven

35
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,120
compared to the wart covered troll under the bridge that is Windows Search. I

36
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:49,519
don't know what that is, but I could ask Bing perhaps.

37
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,160
macOS 26 lets you describe actions and

38
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:56,080
take them directly from Spotlight, like sending an email that says a certain

39
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,879
thing to a certain person with a certain subject line, and lets you assign quick

40
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:06,640
keys for certain actions, like just typing AR for add reminder. Spotlight

41
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:11,040
can search for inapp menu items and activate them. And it can access your

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,080
clipboard history, which previously required third-party apps, which means

43
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,159
some developers just got sherlocked. I'm sorry it had to be today. But one of the

44
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:25,040
coolest things is the integration with shortcuts, which now supports adding

45
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:29,280
Apple's own AI models or chatebt into an automation workflow, which can be

46
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:34,080
summoned in any app with Spotlight. macOS will soon have more customization for

47
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:39,400
icons, folder colors, and control center options. The phone app is on macOS now.

48
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:44,799
Very cool. And there's even an in-game overlay. All this will be available to

49
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,879
any Apple Silicon Mac and the four remaining Intel powered Macs that are

50
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:54,799
still supported. They are just holding on for dear life long after they should

51
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:59,200
have let go. Early in the iOS 26 section of the keynote, Craig Federigi said,

52
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:04,480
"Many of you missed using tabs in the photos app. Photos now features separate

53
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,159
tabs for library and collections, which I think is the first time Apple has

54
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,000
directly acknowledged complaints about one of their changes. Is losing all of

55
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:16,479
those app store court battles finally getting to them? If so, we should keep

56
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,320
breaking their spirit. This is good stuff. Visual intelligence can now

57
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:24,000
search and take action across multiple apps based on your iPhone screen.

58
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Extract the date, time, and location from event posters and add it to

59
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:34,080
calendar. and ask chatbt questions about images. And Apple's new foundation

60
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,400
models feature lets third-party apps use

61
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:41,280
Apple's ondevice AI models because somebody might as well use them while

62
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:46,080
the new AI powered series still in her trailer memorizing her lines. Other cool

63
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,720
AI stuff includes live translation integrated into messages, FaceTime,

64
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:55,520
phone calls, and kind of into Apple Music, which now has lyrics translation

65
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,240
and pronunciation guides, so you can stop mumbling the Korean part. I

66
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,520
genuinely think automix is is cool, which will use AI to mix songs into each

67
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,280
other like a human DJ does, but with less head bobbing. I know you're waiting

68
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:14,160
to hear about that rumored games app, though. Well, uh, yeah, it aggregates

69
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,240
your games and Apple Arcade, but it also has a play together tab to see what your

70
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,280
friends are playing and compete with them in challenges, which can turn

71
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,560
single player games into social experiences. Yuck, very cool. And

72
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:30,479
there's actually quite a few more iOS changes, including call screening and

73
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,840
hold assist in the phone app, custom backgrounds and group polls in messages,

74
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,840
what's up, WhatsApp, and realistic chat

75
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:41,600
GBT image generation in image playground. So your mom can make deep

76
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,320
fakes now, too. But we don't have time to consider the ramifications of that.

77
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:50,320
Watch OS is getting Workout Buddy, the perfect AI non-person to hack your brain

78
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,560
with the audio equivalent of an encouraging cat poster. Vision OS

79
00:05:52,639 --> 00:06:00,320
supports accessories now, like the Logitech Muse Pen and PlayStation VR2

80
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,840
controllers. And tvOS has a new API that should make signing in suck less. And

81
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,240
there was a new trailer for a bunch of Apple TV Plus Originals, which are

82
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,080
statistically pretty good. I mean, I guess Apple is happy to continue losing

83
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,400
money on those, and I'm totally fine with that. I also wouldn't be bothered

84
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,600
if you checked out our sponsor, Odo. They're in the business of helping

85
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:23,120
businesses do business. And you might think, well, Riley, that's pretty broad.

86
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,400
What do they help with specifically? But that's just it. They can help with

87
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,240
everything. Sales, inventory, accounting, invoicing, human resources,

88
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,080
project management, procurement, point of sale. These are all things that I'm

89
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,400
told businesses have to worry more about if they don't use ODU's full suite of

90
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,720
integrated, user-friendly, and customizable apps. They even have an app

91
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:47,039
to help you create your own app with a drag and drop interface and no

92
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,880
programming skills required, just Vibes. And you can share those vibes with your

93
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,280
customers by using ODU's forum building and email marketing tools. But hey, if

94
00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:00,160
you don't need those ones, that's fine. In fact, if you only need to use one ODU

95
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,759
app, it's free. Use our link for a free 15-day trial with no credit card

96
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:08,800
required. Or book a demo with their expert team to learn how ODU can help

97
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:13,360
your business. You know, iOS got to skip 19 to 25. And frankly, I'm jealous. I

98
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,880
would have loved to skip those years, too. Microsoft and Asus have revealed

99
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:27,120
their rumored handheld collaboration, the ROG Xbox Ally X. Okay, this is an

100
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:30,240
Xbox, they say. And this is an Xbox if

101
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,440
you're poor. That's the ROG Xbox Ally

102
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,360
nonX also being announced with weaker

103
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:40,720
specs. But both of them apparently benefit from Microsoft allowing the Xbox

104
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,960
team to modify Windows itself on these

105
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,960
handhelds. They'll skip loading Windows elements like the desktop, freeing up

106
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:52,720
performance and rapidly booting straight into the Xbox app, which will feature an

107
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:56,400
aggregated library with games from Xbox,

108
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,240
Steam, and other stores. Okay. The devs

109
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,240
behind Xbox and Windows have wanted to make this special Xbox Windows handheld

110
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,560
experience happen for a while. But as one exact told The Verge, "This is

111
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,240
really the device that galvanized those teams and got everybody marching and

112
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,720
working towards a moment that we're just really excited to put into the hands of

113
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:18,479
players." Xbox execs have a gift for hyping up gamers with language you'd use

114
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,039
in financial reports. It's very cool. But one thing they said that is hype,

115
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:29,440
this full screen Xbox experience will roll out to other Windows handhelds next

116
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,640
year after the two Xbox allies launch at

117
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,560
the end of 2025. It's just too bad that

118
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,240
everybody will be gaming on some form of Linux by that time already. Oh well.

119
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,880
This week was chalk full of game announcements between Sony's PS5 State

120
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:47,279
of Play, the kickoff of Summer Games Fest, and yesterday's Xbox Games

121
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,480
Showcase, where we learned there's going to be a Black Ops 7. But don't worry,

122
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,279
uh, it stars original Black Ops character, Alex Mason, who will finally

123
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:03,200
tell us what the numbers mean. And an Amazon customer has reported receiving

124
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:06,320
an Orus RTX5090 package only to find it

125
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,120
filled with macaroni, rice, and some

126
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:14,800
kind of dusty old GPU. The incident comes after at least 32 Zotac 5090 boxes

127
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:20,000
were discovered at a microenter stuffed full of crossbody backpacks. I sincerely

128
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,040
hope these 5090 switcheroos don't become a trend. Although, at least these

129
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,200
scammers were nice enough to include some carbs. You know, throw some chicken

130
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,040
bones in there and baby, you got a stew going. I'm currently stewing over the

131
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,600
fact that there was far too much tech news today. So, let's all take a one-day

132
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:40,560
recess and meet back here on Wednesday. Okay. Uh, it'll give me some time to

133
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:45,000
work through whether I like Apple now. Uh, it's very confusing. I guess Apple

134
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:50,000
is h Okay, that's just lights. Hello. Thank

135
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,720
you. Rude.
