WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.120 This year at WWDC, Apple had a ton to go over. 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 00:00:09.380 --> 00:00:13.000 or spotlight essentially becoming an AI assistant. 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, 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, 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.040 and also so much more. So hang on, while we do our collective best 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. 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 00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:43.360 with the release of Vista. And oh boy, does it ever look beautiful. 00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:47.840 Widgets, app icons, notifications, just about every piece of the UI 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, 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.840 sometimes even multiple layers. Along with some pretty animations as you use your device. 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.840 Everything is getting this update. iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Mac, and even the Apple Watch. 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.920 This new design language is inspired by VisionOS, which is getting a few updates, 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.080 but we'll talk about that a little later. There are too many small adjustments 00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:15.520 and places this is being used to tell you everything faster 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 00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:24.160 on your Mac going transparent to make it feel like you have more screen space 00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:27.520 or controls and Apple TV no longer hiding what's directly behind them 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:31.040 as you scroll through Love Island. They didn't unify the operating systems 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.120 to behave exactly the same as each other like the rumors made it seem, 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.600 but it does look similar across all devices now and that's better than nothing. 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:42.880 Keeping with the cohesion theme, Apple is changing the way they version 00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:47.600 their various operating systems to follow the same formula as the auto industry. 00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:51.680 That means this year 2025 brings us iOS 26. 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.600 And the same goes for WatchOS, iPadOS, TVOS, 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.560 MacOS, and VisionOS. It's 26 is across the board and I for one approve. 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.320 And don't worry, MacOS still gets its cute national park inspired code name. 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 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. 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.160 And by big stuff, I mean stuff that Android has had for years. 00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:19.400 Not only will you finally be able to screen spam calls, 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 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. 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 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:35.160 for terrible old BMWs. Then whenever the call finally connects, 00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:38.640 you get a quick notification to pay attention and your wallet and significant other 00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:42.360 get to breathe a collective sigh of relief. But the relief doesn't stop there 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.440 because you'll also waste less time with spam messages. 00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:48.800 With Apple's new spam filter, messages for the stuff you actually care about 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.960 like your table being ready or your package arriving. 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.360 Those stick around. But now you can filter out the crud you don't wanna see 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.760 like a spam message warning you about a fraudulent transaction 00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:01.800 for a bank you're not a member of. Something about an old car. 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.480 I don't know, not important. What is important however, is that CarPlay is getting updates 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:10.520 and they're fixing the cludgy camera controls in iOS at least in theory. 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. 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 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.920 through Apple cash within group chats and even typing indicators for group chats. 00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:29.160 Hallelujah, Android people, they didn't even have that. 00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:32.760 Here's another Google Pixel oldie but goldie. Calls, messages and FaceTime 00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:37.000 are all getting live translations. So no matter the language pair, you can speak with anyone 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 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.600 as Apple's demo because this has potential to be a really great feature. 00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:50.000 They also demoed some updates to Apple intelligence with visual intelligence letting you take a screenshot 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 00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:57.040 the object you highlighted. I don't expect to use it all the time 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:01.080 but assuming it works and actually launches, it's a welcome feature. 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.840 As are the new wallet improvements. Refreshed boarding passes can show live activities 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, 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 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 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 00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:27.560 you've been collecting and Apple intelligence will generate words of encouragement 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.120 or progress tracking as you work out. Honestly, an AI voice pumping your tires 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 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.640 might actually be kind of cool and could help encourage you the next time 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. 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.040 There's a bunch of functionality integrated into wrist flicking like muting alarms 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.520 and your watch will soon automatically adjust the volume of notifications or calls 00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:53.320 based on your surrounding environment. 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 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.160 when we unbox our next Apple Watch. Or a new Apple TV 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.200 because I'm really excited about the updates there. They didn't show a ton 00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:08.400 but coming from a long time NVIDIA Shield TV user 00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:12.920 the ability to set profiles in TVOS is gonna be huge. 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. 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:22.520 Might not matter a ton to all of you but for those with roommates or family 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. 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:30.000 They also showed some new cinematic poster art for your browsing pleasure 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.800 to coincide with the new liquid glass changes. There was a bit about Apple music 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.160 and connecting with your iPhone for karaoke and contact posters are coming to TVOS 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 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 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.920 and resize and snap to the side. Yeah, it's Windows on an iPad 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 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.960 in the background while you browse on sites where you buy things from strangers. 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. 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 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.040 and the rest. It makes sense that with more power comes more capabilities 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 00:06:22.320 --> 00:06:25.440 instead of a fully fledged MacBook. If you want a portable device, 00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:29.200 that's powerful enough and can do enough. 00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:32.440 That's it. And for everyone else, there's macOS 26. 00:06:32.440 --> 00:06:36.000 Tahoe, some of this stuff also works on iPad. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.720 Like, finally, the ability to customize 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.800 how folders look through color and custom icons. 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.760 And wow, is it a welcome addition. Using liquid glass on Mac looks stellar 00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:51.800 and adding all of this customization can really help personalize your device. 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.080 Something everyone else has been able to do on a more robust scale for years. 00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:59.800 Apple showed off a few more welcome features like a phone app and live activities 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.280 so you can work seamlessly between devices, enabling everything new for iOS, 00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:09.200 like live translation to be accessible from your Mac. The new gaming app looks shockingly usable 00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:13.620 with a new overlay that actually looks pretty familiar to all the handheld gamers out there. 00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:18.220 They mentioned that Metal 4 is on the way and features some next-gen rendering tech, 00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:22.380 like frame interpolation and de-noising. But I'm actually pretty excited 00:07:22.380 --> 00:07:26.420 about the ability to challenge friends with a sort of unofficial leaderboard, 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:30.300 even if it isn't single-player games. Their game library is continuing to grow 00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:34.820 and considering The Sims is one of the few games that has always worked on Macs, 00:07:34.820 --> 00:07:37.940 I'm happy to see Inzoy has taken up the torch. 00:07:37.940 --> 00:07:44.900 But the coolest part, aside from this breadasaurus hoodie, LTTstore.com, is the spotlight upgrades. 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 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 00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:59.580 except for this handy little search bar that could. And to make it even snappier, 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. 00:08:05.900 --> 00:08:09.420 Not quite last and not quite least, VisionOS. 00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:13.860 Yep, the Vision Pro lives. And it honestly seems like they're marketing it 00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:17.140 to businesses now as a way to level up your work experience. 00:08:17.140 --> 00:08:20.500 They showed off multiple people wearing headsets within the same physical space, 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, 00:08:26.380 --> 00:08:30.220 it looks pretty sick and genuinely futuristic. 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, 00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:40.380 but I love the cool spatial widgets. Seriously, this is what I imagine 00:08:40.380 --> 00:08:45.140 when I think of a true augmented reality. Just think, instead of spending hundreds, 00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:50.540 or maybe thousands of dollars on physical goods, like a TV, a calendar, and a clock, 00:08:50.540 --> 00:08:53.660 you could just spend $3,500 on a Vision Pro 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 00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:02.980 in an otherwise empty apartment is terrifying. 00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:06.700 But think of the possibilities. Who knows? In just 10 short years, 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. 00:09:11.260 --> 00:09:15.260 That's right, they are much less horrifying and actually look somewhat realistic. 00:09:15.260 --> 00:09:18.980 You can also create profiles so you don't have to constantly make adjustments 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:23.020 when you're sharing headsets. They're adding PSVR2 Sense Controller support 00:09:23.020 --> 00:09:27.580 and spatial photos are becoming more realistic with spatial scenes. 00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:31.660 And if a website supports it, you can get spatial experience on the web too, 00:09:31.660 --> 00:09:34.820 like the ability to pluck 3D objects from your browser 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. 00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:45.540 But again, none of that really matters until these devices become significantly more affordable 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? 00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:54.480 Kinda cool, I guess. Yeah, you can combine emojis to make new ones 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? 00:09:59.660 --> 00:10:03.480 Personally, I miss the days when emoticons were made with punctuation marks 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 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.760 or our sponsor. So thanks for watching, let me know down in the comments 00:10:10.760 --> 00:10:13.960 what feature you're excited about that we didn't really talk about today 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.520 or what one we did talk about but you're just uber excited about. 00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:20.800 And maybe check out last year's WWDC event coverage 00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:24.000 to spot the differences between then and now. I can tell you one thing, 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.480 we've got a hell of a lot more iOS versions all of the sudden. 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.400 Yeah, just kidding, they skipped something. 00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:32.240 Bye.
