1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320 Apple has renamed, as predicted, all of their operating systems after the year 2026, 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,000 meaning iOS is gonna jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,520 So please, a moment of silence for iOS 19 through 25. 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,000 It just sucks because I knew 23 was gonna be good. But the rebranding announced during 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,160 Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote this morning represents some of the most substantial changes 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:31,240 to Apple's software in years. iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, WatchOS, TVOS, and VisionOS 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,080 will share a new unified design language called liquid glass, 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,840 which brings back some skeuomorphism. UI elements warp and refract light. 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,440 Apple says they behave just like glass in the real world. 10 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,400 For instance, menu bars can be shattered and used as improvised weapons in an emergency. 11 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,560 Apple also highlighted more dynamic controls, 12 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,760 which will appear when the system thinks you need them and disappear when it thinks you don't. 13 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,840 An approach that has caused frustration in the past, 14 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,040 but we have AI now, so. But we'll talk AI later, 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,120 because what Apple called the biggest iPadOS release ever 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,280 involves finally giving iPads a new window management system 17 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,920 that works pretty much like MacOS or Windows, 18 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,880 unlike Stage Manager, which is still a thing and separate from this, apparently. 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,560 Multiple Windows can be resized with what Apple calls a grab handle 20 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,960 and repositioned anywhere or flicked to snap to the side. 21 00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,280 But there's more tiling options under each Windows controls 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,200 for minimize, maximize, and close, like MacOS, 23 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,400 which you can click with the new mouse pointer that looks like a freaking mouse pointer. 24 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,840 What is, there's even a menu bar with drop downs 25 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,040 for file, edit, et cetera at the top and folder stacks in the dock, just like MacOS. 26 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,680 I keep saying it. 2019 Riley reviewing iPads on Linus Tech Tips 27 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320 is losing his sh... The MacOS inning doesn't stop there. 28 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,800 The iPadOS files app gets more detail and an open with default app option. 29 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,000 Background tasks allows, say, a video render 30 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,600 to complete without the app auto closing and preview is finally on iPad 31 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,920 with the annotation, auto-filling, and other stuff you can do to PDFs. 32 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,720 Don't tell me about it. I don't wanna know. There's also improvements to audio, video, 33 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,360 and screen recording that seem cool, but I gotta be honest, I'd rather move on to MacOS 26 34 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,440 and the upgraded spotlight search, which continues to seem like a glorious angel from heaven 35 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,800 compared to the wart covered troll under the bridge that is Windows search. 36 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,600 I don't know what that is, but I could ask Bing, perhaps. 37 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,200 Uh, uh, uh, uh. MacOS 26 lets you describe actions 38 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,360 and take them directly from spotlight, like sending an email that says a certain thing 39 00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,160 to a certain person with a certain subject line and lets you assign quick keys for certain actions, 40 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,640 like just typing AR for ad reminder. 41 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:10,240 Spotlight can search for in-app menu items and activate them, and it can access your clipboard history, 42 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,760 which previously required third party apps, which means some developers just got Sherlock'd. 43 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880 I'm sorry it had to be today. But one of the coolest things 44 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,720 is the integration with shortcuts, which now supports adding Apple's own AI models 45 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,080 or chat GBT into an automation workflow, which can be summoned in any app with spotlight. 46 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,760 MacOS will soon have more customization for icons, folder colors, and control center options. 47 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,480 The phone app is on MacOS now, very cool, and there's even an in-game overlay. 48 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,640 All this will be available to any Apple Silicon Mac 49 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,760 and the four remaining Intel powered Macs 50 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,000 that are still supported. They are just holding on for dear life, 51 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,600 long after they should have let go. Early in the iOS 26 section of the keynote, 52 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,120 Craig Federighi said, many of you missed using tabs in the Photos app. 53 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,240 Photos now features separate tabs for library and collections, 54 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,080 which I think is the first time Apple has directly acknowledged complaints 55 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,480 about one of their changes. Is losing all of those app store court battles 56 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,960 finally getting to them? If so, we should keep breaking their spirit. 57 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560 This is good stuff. Visual intelligence can now search and take action 58 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,040 across multiple apps based on your iPhone screen, extract the date, time, and location 59 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,200 from event posters and add it to calendar, and ask chat GBT questions about images. 60 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,920 And Apple's new foundation models feature lets third-party apps use Apple's on-device AI models 61 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,680 because somebody might as well use them while the new AI powered series 62 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,120 still in her trailer, memorizing her lines. Other cool AI stuff includes live translation 63 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,480 integrated into messages, FaceTime, phone calls, and kind of into Apple music, 64 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,120 which now has lyrics translation and pronunciation guides 65 00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,280 so you can stop mumbling the Korean part. I genuinely think auto mix is cool, 66 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:03,680 which will use AI to mix songs into each other 67 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,640 like a human DJ does, but with less head bobbing. I know you're waiting to hear 68 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,680 about that rumored games app though. Well, yeah, it aggregates your games and Apple Arcade, 69 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,280 but it also has a Play Together tab to see what your friends are playing 70 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:23,280 and compete with them in challenges, which can turn single-player games into social experiences. 71 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:27,000 Yeah, cool, very cool. And there's actually quite a few more iOS changes, 72 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,040 including call screening and hold assist in the phone app, 73 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,480 custom backgrounds and group polls in messages. What's up, what's app? 74 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,480 And realistic chat GBT image generation in image playground 75 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,760 so your mom can make deep fakes now too, but we don't have time to consider the ramifications of that. 76 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,960 WatchOS is getting workout buddy, the perfect AI non-person to hack your brain 77 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,200 with the audio equivalent of an encouraging cat poster. VisionOS supports accessories now, 78 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,120 like the Logitech Muse Pen and PlayStation VR2 controllers, 79 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,080 and TVOS has a new API that should make signing in suck less, 80 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,640 and there was a new trailer for a bunch of Apple TV plus originals, 81 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,040 which are statistically pretty good. And I guess Apple is happy to continue losing money on those, 82 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,840 and I'm totally fine with that. I also wouldn't be bothered if you checked out our sponsor. 83 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,840 You know, iOS got to skip 19 to 25, 84 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:23,120 and frankly, I'm jealous. I would have loved to skip those years too. 85 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,680 Microsoft and ASUS have revealed their rumored handheld collaboration, 86 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,680 the ROGX Box Ally X. 87 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,720 Okay, this is an Xbox, they say, 88 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,840 and this is an Xbox if you're poor. 89 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:41,440 That's the ROGX Box Ally non-X also being announced 90 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,520 with weaker specs, but both of them apparently benefit 91 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,320 from Microsoft allowing the Xbox team to modify Windows itself on these handhelds. 92 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,200 They'll skip loading Windows elements like the desktop, freeing up performance, 93 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,320 and rapidly booting straight into the Xbox app, 94 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:04,720 which will feature an aggregated library with games from Xbox, Steam, and other stores, okay? 95 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,800 The devs behind Xbox and Windows have wanted to make this special Xbox Windows handheld 96 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,800 experience happen for a while, but as one exec told the Verge, 97 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,400 "'This is really the device that galvanized those teams "'and got everybody marching and working towards a moment 98 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,640 "'that we're just really excited to put "'into the hands of players.'" 99 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:27,280 And Xbox execs have a gift for hyping up gamers with language you'd use in financial reports, very cool. 100 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,600 But one thing they said that is hype, this full-screen Xbox experience 101 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600 will roll out to other Windows handhelds next year 102 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,640 after the two Xbox allies launch at the end of 2025. 103 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,640 It's just too bad that everybody will be gaming on some form of Linux by that time already. 104 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,680 Oh well, this week was chock full of game announcements 105 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,960 between Sony's PS5 State of Play, the kickoff of Summer Games Fest, 106 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:58,560 and yesterday's Xbox Games Showcase, where we learned there's gonna be a Black Ops 7? 107 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,720 But don't worry, it stars original Black Ops character 108 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,640 Alex Mason, who will finally tell us what the numbers mean. 109 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,000 And an Amazon customer has reported receiving an Oris RTX 5090 package, 110 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,440 only to find it filled with macaroni, rice, 111 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:21,280 and some kind of dusty old GPU. The incident comes after at least 32 Zotac 5090 boxes 112 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,160 were discovered at a micro-center stuffed full of cross-body backpacks. 113 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,160 I sincerely hope these 5090 switch roos don't become a trend, 114 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,880 although at least these scammers were nice enough to include some carbs. 115 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,480 You know, let's throw some chicken bones in there, and baby, you got a stew going. 116 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,600 I'm currently stewing over the fact that there was far too much tech news today. 117 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,440 So let's all take a one day recess and meet back here on Wednesday, okay? 118 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,480 It'll give me some time to work through whether I like Apple now. 119 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,640 It's very confusing. I guess Apple is ha- 120 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120 Ooh, okay. That's just lights. 121 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,600 Hello. Thank you. Rude.
