00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120
This year at WWDC, Apple had a ton to go over.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,380
Some of it's new and cool, like the liquid glass redesign that visually unifies all your devices

3
00:00:09,380 --> 00:00:13,000
or spotlight essentially becoming an AI assistant.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,400
It's just that some of it is, it's not so new, but at least it's finally coming to Apple,

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:24,640
like polls and group chats or spam call rejection. Or, I shit you not, Windows on iPad,

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,040
and also so much more. So hang on, while we do our collective best

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,360
to tell you about our sponsor. Let's start off with what Apple is calling liquid glass.

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,160
It's basically a prettier version of Windows Arrow, an aesthetic PC users got back in 2007

9
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:43,360
with the release of Vista. And oh boy, does it ever look beautiful.

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,840
Widgets, app icons, notifications, just about every piece of the UI

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,920
that could ever float over top of a background or an app has got a flashy new transparent layer,

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,840
sometimes even multiple layers. Along with some pretty animations as you use your device.

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,840
Everything is getting this update. iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Mac, and even the Apple Watch.

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,920
This new design language is inspired by VisionOS, which is getting a few updates,

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,080
but we'll talk about that a little later. There are too many small adjustments

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,520
and places this is being used to tell you everything faster

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,320
than Apple's hour and a half presentation. But some of the highlights are things like the menu bar

18
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,160
on your Mac going transparent to make it feel like you have more screen space

19
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,520
or controls and Apple TV no longer hiding what's directly behind them

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,040
as you scroll through Love Island. They didn't unify the operating systems

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,120
to behave exactly the same as each other like the rumors made it seem,

22
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,600
but it does look similar across all devices now and that's better than nothing.

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Keeping with the cohesion theme, Apple is changing the way they version

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,600
their various operating systems to follow the same formula as the auto industry.

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,680
That means this year 2025 brings us iOS 26.

26
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,600
And the same goes for WatchOS, iPadOS, TVOS,

27
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,560
MacOS, and VisionOS. It's 26 is across the board and I for one approve.

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,320
And don't worry, MacOS still gets its cute national park inspired code name.

29
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,920
There's also a bunch of new features coming to iOS and I'm sure we'll get like a very specific deep dive

30
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:13,080
at the next event when they launch the iPhone. But for now, let's talk about the big stuff.

31
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,160
And by big stuff, I mean stuff that Android has had for years.

32
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,400
Not only will you finally be able to screen spam calls,

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,920
but we're also getting hold assist as well. So instead of being stuck listening to Opus number one

34
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,840
on repeat for hours, your iPhone can stay on the line and do the waiting for you.

35
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,040
So you can spend your time doing important things like, I don't know, doom scrolling marketplace

36
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
for terrible old BMWs. Then whenever the call finally connects,

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,640
you get a quick notification to pay attention and your wallet and significant other

38
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,360
get to breathe a collective sigh of relief. But the relief doesn't stop there

39
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,440
because you'll also waste less time with spam messages.

40
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,800
With Apple's new spam filter, messages for the stuff you actually care about

41
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,960
like your table being ready or your package arriving.

42
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Those stick around. But now you can filter out the crud you don't wanna see

43
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,760
like a spam message warning you about a fraudulent transaction

44
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,800
for a bank you're not a member of. Something about an old car.

45
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,480
I don't know, not important. What is important however, is that CarPlay is getting updates

46
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,520
and they're fixing the cludgy camera controls in iOS at least in theory.

47
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,440
They're also adding backgrounds for iMessage group chats that anyone in the group can see and adjust.

48
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,120
They're adding spatial wallpapers, dynamic lock screens, the ability to request, receive and send each other money

49
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,920
through Apple cash within group chats and even typing indicators for group chats.

50
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:29,160
Hallelujah, Android people, they didn't even have that.

51
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Here's another Google Pixel oldie but goldie. Calls, messages and FaceTime

52
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,000
are all getting live translations. So no matter the language pair, you can speak with anyone

53
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,680
even if they don't have an iPhone. I just hope the real world use case performs as well

54
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,600
as Apple's demo because this has potential to be a really great feature.

55
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,000
They also demoed some updates to Apple intelligence with visual intelligence letting you take a screenshot

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,760
of something and get an answer to a question or maybe a link to a site where you can purchase

57
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
the object you highlighted. I don't expect to use it all the time

58
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,080
but assuming it works and actually launches, it's a welcome feature.

59
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,840
As are the new wallet improvements. Refreshed boarding passes can show live activities

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,080
like real-time flight updates and soon if you live in Puerto Rico or one of nine select states,

61
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,640
you could remove even more plastic from your life by having your driver's license on your phone

62
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,280
as part of your digital wallet. Oh man, we're running out of time. I better pick up the pace

63
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:24,440
and thanks to Apple Watch's new workout buddy. So can you. Soon you'll be able to take all of that workout data

64
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,560
you've been collecting and Apple intelligence will generate words of encouragement

65
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,120
or progress tracking as you work out. Honestly, an AI voice pumping your tires

66
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,720
after you run your 100th mile for the year or after you set a new lap record

67
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,640
might actually be kind of cool and could help encourage you the next time

68
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,480
you're about to call it quits. The new layout and liquid glass redesign looks very pretty.

69
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,040
There's a bunch of functionality integrated into wrist flicking like muting alarms

70
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,520
and your watch will soon automatically adjust the volume of notifications or calls

71
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,320
based on your surrounding environment.

72
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,000
Much better. I'm not too sure how that's gonna work out but we'll just have to try it

73
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,160
when we unbox our next Apple Watch. Or a new Apple TV

74
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,200
because I'm really excited about the updates there. They didn't show a ton

75
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,400
but coming from a long time NVIDIA Shield TV user

76
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,920
the ability to set profiles in TVOS is gonna be huge.

77
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,040
There's also a new automatic sign-in API which means no more signing in across all of your devices.

78
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,520
Might not matter a ton to all of you but for those with roommates or family

79
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,880
like a roommate who don't pay rent this update might make a huge difference for you.

80
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,000
They also showed some new cinematic poster art for your browsing pleasure

81
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,800
to coincide with the new liquid glass changes. There was a bit about Apple music

82
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,160
and connecting with your iPhone for karaoke and contact posters are coming to TVOS

83
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,360
when you FaceTime on the big screen. But what about the other big screens? iPadOS 26 is gonna be huge with its new Windows system

84
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,560
or rather as Apple calls it windowing system. You know, the kind that you can just move around

85
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,920
and resize and snap to the side. Yeah, it's Windows on an iPad

86
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,000
but we're also getting background tasks. So say you wanna render something in Final Cut Pro

87
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,960
in the background while you browse on sites where you buy things from strangers.

88
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,160
You can do that now and it'll just keep going. We're also getting other macOS feature integrations.

89
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:13,000
I'm talking the Journal app, Preview PDF support, audio input selection on a per app basis, that's sweet

90
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,040
and the rest. It makes sense that with more power comes more capabilities

91
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,320
and thanks to Apple Silicon M series of processors, soon you might be buying an iPad and a dock

92
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,440
instead of a fully fledged MacBook. If you want a portable device,

93
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,200
that's powerful enough and can do enough.

94
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,440
That's it. And for everyone else, there's macOS 26.

95
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Tahoe, some of this stuff also works on iPad.

96
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,720
Like, finally, the ability to customize

97
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,800
how folders look through color and custom icons.

98
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,760
And wow, is it a welcome addition. Using liquid glass on Mac looks stellar

99
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,800
and adding all of this customization can really help personalize your device.

100
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,080
Something everyone else has been able to do on a more robust scale for years.

101
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Apple showed off a few more welcome features like a phone app and live activities

102
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,280
so you can work seamlessly between devices, enabling everything new for iOS,

103
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:09,200
like live translation to be accessible from your Mac. The new gaming app looks shockingly usable

104
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,620
with a new overlay that actually looks pretty familiar to all the handheld gamers out there.

105
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:18,220
They mentioned that Metal 4 is on the way and features some next-gen rendering tech,

106
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:22,380
like frame interpolation and de-noising. But I'm actually pretty excited

107
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:26,420
about the ability to challenge friends with a sort of unofficial leaderboard,

108
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:30,300
even if it isn't single-player games. Their game library is continuing to grow

109
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:34,820
and considering The Sims is one of the few games that has always worked on Macs,

110
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:37,940
I'm happy to see Inzoy has taken up the torch.

111
00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:44,900
But the coolest part, aside from this breadasaurus hoodie, LTTstore.com, is the spotlight upgrades.

112
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:49,540
The demo they showed where Buddy grabbed his document through spotlight, used spotlight to then erase the background

113
00:07:49,540 --> 00:07:55,220
and keep it transparent and then sent that same file to another commonly used app all without going anywhere

114
00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:59,580
except for this handy little search bar that could. And to make it even snappier,

115
00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:05,900
they've added quick keys, which are basically shorthand commands to do specific actions like send emails or create a note.

116
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,420
Not quite last and not quite least, VisionOS.

117
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:13,860
Yep, the Vision Pro lives. And it honestly seems like they're marketing it

118
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:17,140
to businesses now as a way to level up your work experience.

119
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:20,500
They showed off multiple people wearing headsets within the same physical space,

120
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:26,380
now interacting with virtual assets together. And while it is a very high-end solution to a problem,

121
00:08:26,380 --> 00:08:30,220
it looks pretty sick and genuinely futuristic.

122
00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:35,740
I don't know how much I agree with their claim that consumers love the Vision Pro,

123
00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:40,380
but I love the cool spatial widgets. Seriously, this is what I imagine

124
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:45,140
when I think of a true augmented reality. Just think, instead of spending hundreds,

125
00:08:45,140 --> 00:08:50,540
or maybe thousands of dollars on physical goods, like a TV, a calendar, and a clock,

126
00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:53,660
you could just spend $3,500 on a Vision Pro

127
00:08:53,660 --> 00:08:59,580
and not bother decorating your space. Okay, yes, the dystopian image of someone wearing a Vision Pro

128
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,980
in an otherwise empty apartment is terrifying.

129
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:06,700
But think of the possibilities. Who knows? In just 10 short years,

130
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:11,260
the Vision Pro might become more affordable. It also really helps that they fix the personas too.

131
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:15,260
That's right, they are much less horrifying and actually look somewhat realistic.

132
00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:18,980
You can also create profiles so you don't have to constantly make adjustments

133
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:23,020
when you're sharing headsets. They're adding PSVR2 Sense Controller support

134
00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:27,580
and spatial photos are becoming more realistic with spatial scenes.

135
00:09:27,580 --> 00:09:31,660
And if a website supports it, you can get spatial experience on the web too,

136
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:34,820
like the ability to pluck 3D objects from your browser

137
00:09:34,940 --> 00:09:40,100
and pop them virtually into your living room. The potential for the spatial web is actually pretty sick.

138
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:45,540
But again, none of that really matters until these devices become significantly more affordable

139
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:50,980
than they are today. Speaking of things that definitely matter, how about image, playground, and GenMoji upgrades?

140
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:54,480
Kinda cool, I guess. Yeah, you can combine emojis to make new ones

141
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,660
and you can even apply these changes to your own avatar. But was mankind really meant to have such power?

142
00:09:59,660 --> 00:10:03,480
Personally, I miss the days when emoticons were made with punctuation marks

143
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,360
rather than with machine learning. But I guess she can't stand in the way of progress

144
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,760
or our sponsor. So thanks for watching, let me know down in the comments

145
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,960
what feature you're excited about that we didn't really talk about today

146
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,520
or what one we did talk about but you're just uber excited about.

147
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,800
And maybe check out last year's WWDC event coverage

148
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,000
to spot the differences between then and now. I can tell you one thing,

149
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,480
we've got a hell of a lot more iOS versions all of the sudden.

150
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,400
Yeah, just kidding, they skipped something.

151
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Bye.
