WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.839 Apple has renamed, as predicted, all of their operating systems after the year 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 00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:17.520 of silence for iOS 19 through 25. It 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:21.279 just sucks cuz I knew 23 was going to be good. But the rebranding announced 00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:24.720 during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote this morning 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:30.400 represents some of the most substantial changes to Apple's software in years. 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.440 iOS, iPad OS, macOS, Watch OS, TV OS, 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.000 and Vision OS will share a new unified 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:42.160 design language called liquid glass, which brings back some skuomorphism. UI 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.960 elements warp and refract light. Apple says they behave just like glass in the 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.200 real world. For instance, menu bars can be shattered and used as improvised 00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.360 weapons in an emergency. Apple also highlighted more dynamic controls which 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.440 will appear when the system thinks you need them and disappear when it thinks 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:05.280 you don't. An approach that has caused frustration in the past, but we have AI 00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:10.560 now. So, but we'll talk AI later because what Apple called the biggest iPad OS 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:15.880 release ever involves finally giving iPads a new window management system 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:21.040 that works pretty much like macOS or Windows, unlike Stage Manager, which is 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.680 still a thing. And separate from this, apparently, multiple Windows can be 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.840 resized with what Apple calls a grab 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.400 handle and repositioned anywhere or 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.960 flicked to snap to the side. But there's more tiling options under each Windows 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:42.479 controls for minimize, maximize, and close like macOS, which you can click 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:48.799 with the new mouse pointer that looks like a freaking mouse pointer. What is 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 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.960 folder stacks in the dock just like macOS. I keep saying it. 2019 Riley 00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:04.560 reviewing iPads online as tech tips is losing his the Mac OSing doesn't stop 00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:10.319 there. The iPad OS files app gets more detail and an open with default app 00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:12.800 option. Background tasks allows say a 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:18.720 video render to complete without the app autoc closing and preview is finally on 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.560 iPad with the annotation autofilling and other stuff you can do to PDFs. Don't 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.160 tell me about it. I don't want to know. There's also improvements to audio, 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.520 video, and screen recording that seem cool. But I got to be honest, I'd rather 00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:33.920 move on to macOS 26 and the upgraded 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:38.800 Spotlight Search, which continues to seem like a glorious angel from heaven 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:43.120 compared to the wart covered troll under the bridge that is Windows Search. I 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:49.519 don't know what that is, but I could ask Bing perhaps. 00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.160 macOS 26 lets you describe actions and 00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.080 take them directly from Spotlight, like sending an email that says a certain 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.879 thing to a certain person with a certain subject line, and lets you assign quick 00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:06.640 keys for certain actions, like just typing AR for add reminder. Spotlight 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:11.040 can search for inapp menu items and activate them. And it can access your 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.080 clipboard history, which previously required third-party apps, which means 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 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:25.040 coolest things is the integration with shortcuts, which now supports adding 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:29.280 Apple's own AI models or chatebt into an automation workflow, which can be 00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:34.080 summoned in any app with Spotlight. macOS will soon have more customization for 00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:39.400 icons, folder colors, and control center options. The phone app is on macOS now. 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:44.799 Very cool. And there's even an in-game overlay. All this will be available to 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.879 any Apple Silicon Mac and the four remaining Intel powered Macs that are 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:54.799 still supported. They are just holding on for dear life long after they should 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:59.200 have let go. Early in the iOS 26 section of the keynote, Craig Federigi said, 00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:04.480 "Many of you missed using tabs in the photos app. Photos now features separate 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:08.159 tabs for library and collections, which I think is the first time Apple has 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:12.000 directly acknowledged complaints about one of their changes. Is losing all of 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:16.479 those app store court battles finally getting to them? If so, we should keep 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.320 breaking their spirit. This is good stuff. Visual intelligence can now 00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:24.000 search and take action across multiple apps based on your iPhone screen. 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.560 Extract the date, time, and location from event posters and add it to 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:34.080 calendar. and ask chatbt questions about images. And Apple's new foundation 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:36.400 models feature lets third-party apps use 00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:41.280 Apple's ondevice AI models because somebody might as well use them while 00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:46.080 the new AI powered series still in her trailer memorizing her lines. Other cool 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.720 AI stuff includes live translation integrated into messages, FaceTime, 00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:55.520 phone calls, and kind of into Apple Music, which now has lyrics translation 00:04:53.440 --> 00:05:00.240 and pronunciation guides, so you can stop mumbling the Korean part. I 00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:05.520 genuinely think automix is is cool, which will use AI to mix songs into each 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.280 other like a human DJ does, but with less head bobbing. I know you're waiting 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:14.160 to hear about that rumored games app, though. Well, uh, yeah, it aggregates 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 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:22.280 friends are playing and compete with them in challenges, which can turn 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.560 single player games into social experiences. Yuck, very cool. And 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.479 there's actually quite a few more iOS changes, including call screening and 00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:35.840 hold assist in the phone app, custom backgrounds and group polls in messages, 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.840 what's up, WhatsApp, and realistic chat 00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:41.600 GBT image generation in image playground. So your mom can make deep 00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.320 fakes now, too. But we don't have time to consider the ramifications of that. 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:50.320 Watch OS is getting Workout Buddy, the perfect AI non-person to hack your brain 00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:54.560 with the audio equivalent of an encouraging cat poster. Vision OS 00:05:52.639 --> 00:06:00.320 supports accessories now, like the Logitech Muse Pen and PlayStation VR2 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.840 controllers. And tvOS has a new API that should make signing in suck less. And 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:08.240 there was a new trailer for a bunch of Apple TV Plus Originals, which are 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.080 statistically pretty good. I mean, I guess Apple is happy to continue losing 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:16.400 money on those, and I'm totally fine with that. I also wouldn't be bothered 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.600 if you checked out our sponsor, Odo. They're in the business of helping 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.120 businesses do business. And you might think, well, Riley, that's pretty broad. 00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:26.400 What do they help with specifically? But that's just it. They can help with 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.240 everything. Sales, inventory, accounting, invoicing, human resources, 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:34.080 project management, procurement, point of sale. These are all things that I'm 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 00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.720 integrated, user-friendly, and customizable apps. They even have an app 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:47.039 to help you create your own app with a drag and drop interface and no 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:50.880 programming skills required, just Vibes. And you can share those vibes with your 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.280 customers by using ODU's forum building and email marketing tools. But hey, if 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 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 00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:08.800 required. Or book a demo with their expert team to learn how ODU can help 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 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:18.880 would have loved to skip those years, too. Microsoft and Asus have revealed 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:27.120 their rumored handheld collaboration, the ROG Xbox Ally X. Okay, this is an 00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:30.240 Xbox, they say. And this is an Xbox if 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:33.440 you're poor. That's the ROG Xbox Ally 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.360 nonX also being announced with weaker 00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:40.720 specs. But both of them apparently benefit from Microsoft allowing the Xbox 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.960 team to modify Windows itself on these 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.960 handhelds. They'll skip loading Windows elements like the desktop, freeing up 00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:52.720 performance and rapidly booting straight into the Xbox app, which will feature an 00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:56.400 aggregated library with games from Xbox, 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:58.240 Steam, and other stores. Okay. The devs 00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:02.240 behind Xbox and Windows have wanted to make this special Xbox Windows handheld 00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:06.560 experience happen for a while. But as one exact told The Verge, "This is 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:10.240 really the device that galvanized those teams and got everybody marching and 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:14.720 working towards a moment that we're just really excited to put into the hands of 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:18.479 players." Xbox execs have a gift for hyping up gamers with language you'd use 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.039 in financial reports. It's very cool. But one thing they said that is hype, 00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:29.440 this full screen Xbox experience will roll out to other Windows handhelds next 00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:32.640 year after the two Xbox allies launch at 00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:34.560 the end of 2025. It's just too bad that 00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:38.240 everybody will be gaming on some form of Linux by that time already. Oh well. 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:42.880 This week was chalk full of game announcements between Sony's PS5 State 00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:47.279 of Play, the kickoff of Summer Games Fest, and yesterday's Xbox Games 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, 00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:57.279 uh, it stars original Black Ops character, Alex Mason, who will finally 00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:03.200 tell us what the numbers mean. And an Amazon customer has reported receiving 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:06.320 an Orus RTX5090 package only to find it 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.120 filled with macaroni, rice, and some 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:14.800 kind of dusty old GPU. The incident comes after at least 32 Zotac 5090 boxes 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:20.000 were discovered at a microenter stuffed full of crossbody backpacks. I sincerely 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.040 hope these 5090 switcheroos don't become a trend. Although, at least these 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:27.200 scammers were nice enough to include some carbs. You know, throw some chicken 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:31.040 bones in there and baby, you got a stew going. I'm currently stewing over the 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 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:40.560 recess and meet back here on Wednesday. Okay. Uh, it'll give me some time to 00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:45.000 work through whether I like Apple now. Uh, it's very confusing. I guess Apple 00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:50.000 is h Okay, that's just lights. Hello. Thank 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.720 you. Rude.
