00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.520
This year at WWDC, Apple had a ton to go

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:10.320
over. Some of it's new and cool, like the liquid glass redesign that visually

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:15.280
unifies all your devices, or Spotlight essentially becoming an AI assistant.

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.199
It's just that some of it is it's not so new, but at least it's finally coming to

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:25.840
Apple like polls and group chats or spam call rejection, or I you not,

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.680
Windows on iPad, and also so much more.

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:33.440
So hang on while we do our collective best to tell you about our sponsor.

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.840
Valkyrie make cooling your PC well cool.

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.160
Valkyy's Vite AIO coolers feature a patented high-speed pump and copper cold

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.640
plate while sporting a Mecca aesthetic with RGB galore. Check them out using

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.960
our link in the video description. Let's start off with what Apple is calling

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:53.920
liquid glass. It's basically a prettier version of Windows Arrow, an aesthetic

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:59.120
PC users got back in 2007 with the release of Vista. And oh boy, does it

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.680
ever look beautiful. Widgets, app icons, notifications, just about every piece of

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:07.840
the UI that could ever float over top of a background or an app has got a flashy

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.159
new transparent layer. Sometimes even multiple layers along with some pretty

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:17.200
animations as you use your device. Everything is getting this update. iPad,

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:22.000
iPhone, Apple TV, Mac, and even the Apple Watch. This new design language is

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.759
inspired by Vision OS, which is getting a few updates, but we'll talk about that

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.000
a little later. There are too many small adjustments and places this is being

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:33.680
used to tell you everything faster than Apple's hour and a half presentation.

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.200
But some of the highlights are things like the menu bar on your Mac going

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:40.960
transparent to make it feel like you have more screen space, or controls in

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.320
Apple TV no longer hiding what's directly behind them as you scroll

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:48.320
through Love Island. They didn't unify the operating systems to behave exactly

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.720
the same as each other like the rumors made it seem, but it does look similar

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.320
across all devices now, and that's better than nothing. Keeping with the

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:00.479
cohesion theme, Apple is changing the way they version their various operating

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:06.640
systems to follow the same formula as the auto industry. That means this year

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:10.399
2025 brings us iOS 26. And the same goes

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.879
for watch OS, iPad OS, TV OS, macOS,

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.800
and vision OS. It's 26es across the board and I for one approve. And don't

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.840
worry, macOS still gets its cute national park inspired code name.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:25.200
There's also a bunch of new features coming to iOS and I'm sure we'll get like a very specific deep dive at the

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.879
next event when they launch the iPhone. But for now, let's talk about the big

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:33.040
stuff. And by big stuff, I mean stuff that Android has had for years. Not only

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.640
will you finally be able to screen spam calls, but we're also getting hold

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:40.080
assist as well. So instead of being stuck listening to Opus number one on

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.519
repeat for hours, your iPhone can stay on the line and do the waiting for you.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.800
So you can spend your time doing important things like, I don't know,

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.400
doom scrolling marketplace for terrible old BMWs. Then whenever the call finally

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.599
connects, you get a quick notification to pay attention and your wallet and

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:56.879
significant other get to breathe a collective sigh of relief. But the

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.040
relief doesn't stop there, because you'll also waste less time with spam

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:04.640
messages. With Apple's new spam filter, messages for the stuff you actually care

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.400
about, like your table being ready or your package arriving, those stick

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.480
around. But now you can filter out the crud you don't want to see, like a spam

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.239
message warning you about a fraudulent transaction for a bank you're not a

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.080
member of. Something about an old car. I don't know, not important. What is

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.920
important, however, is that CarPlay is getting updates, and they're fixing the

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.200
cludgy camera controls in iOS, at least in theory. They're also adding

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:30.480
backgrounds for iMessage group chats that anyone in the group can see and

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:34.560
adjust. They're adding spatial wallpapers, dynamic lock screens, the

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.799
ability to request, receive, and send each other money through Apple Cash

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:42.959
within group chats, and even typing indicators for group chats. Hallelujah.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.560
Android people, they didn't even have that. Here's another Google Pixel oldie

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.920
but goldie. Calls, messages, and FaceTime are all getting live translations. So, no matter the language

00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:55.840
pair, you can speak with anyone, even if they don't have an iPhone. I just hope

00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.239
the real world use case performs as well as Apple's demo cuz this has potential

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.120
to be a really great feature. They also demoed some updates to Apple

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:07.439
Intelligence with visual intelligence letting you take a screenshot of something and get an answer to a

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.959
question or maybe a link to a site where you can purchase the object you highlighted. I don't expect to use it

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.479
all the time, but assuming it works and actually launches, it's a welcome

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:21.040
feature. As are the new wallet improvements. Refreshed boarding passes

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.720
can show live activities like realtime flight updates. And soon, if you live in

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:28.320
Puerto Rico or one of nine select states, you could remove even more

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:32.080
plastic from your life by having your driver's license on your phone as part

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.800
of your digital wallet. Oh man, we're running out of time. I better pick up the pace. And thanks to Apple Watch's

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:39.600
new workout, buddy, so can you. Soon, you'll be able to take all of that

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:45.440
workout data you've been collecting, and Apple intelligence will generate words of encouragement or progress tracking as

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:48.960
you work out. Honestly, an AI voice pumping your tires after you run your

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.520
100th mile for the year or after you set a new lap record might actually be kind

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.880
of cool and could help encourage you the next time you're about to call it quits.

00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.759
The new layout and liquid glass redesign looks very pretty. There's a bunch of

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:03.840
functionality integrated into wrist flicking like muting alarms and your

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:07.800
watch will soon automatically adjust the volume of notifications or calls based

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:11.360
on your surrounding environment. Much better. I'm not too

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:17.520
sure how that's going to work out, but we'll just have to try it when we unbox our next Apple Watch or a new Apple TV

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:21.759
because I'm really excited about the updates there. They didn't show a ton,

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:27.840
but coming from a longtime NVIDIA Shield TV user, the ability to set profiles in

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.080
tvOS is going to be huge. There's also a

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:34.000
new automatic sign-in API, which means no more signing in across all of your

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:38.160
devices. This might not matter a ton to all of you, but for those with roommates

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.759
or family, aka roommates who don't pay rent, this update might make a huge

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:45.280
difference for you. They also showed some new cinematic poster art for your

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:48.560
browsing pleasure to coincide with the new liquid glass changes. There was a

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.639
bit about Apple Music and connecting with your iPhone for karaoke and contact

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.400
posters are coming to tvOS when you FaceTime on the big screen. But what

00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:01.280
about the other big screens? iPad OS 26 is going to be huge with its new Windows

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:04.720
system or rather as Apple calls it windowing system. You know the you know

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:08.800
the kind that you can just move around and resize and snap to the side. Yeah,

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.080
it's Windows on an iPad. But we're also getting background tasks. So say you

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:16.319
want to render something in Final Cut Pro in the background while you browse

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.840
on sites where you buy things from strangers. You can do that now and it'll

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.759
just keep going. We're also getting other macOS feature integrations. But I'm talking the journal app, preview PDF

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.160
support, audio input selection on a per app basis, that's sweet, and the rest.

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.240
It makes sense that with more power comes more capabilities. And thanks to

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:38.240
Apple's silicon M series of processors, soon you might be buying an iPad and a

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:43.440
dock instead of a fullyfledged MacBook if you want a portable device that's

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.120
powerful enough and can do enough.

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:51.840
That's it. And for everyone else, there's macOS 26. Tahoe. Some of this

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.319
stuff also works on iPad, like

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:58.840
finally the ability to customize how folders look through color and custom

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:03.120
icons. And wow, is it a welcome addition. Using liquid glass on Mac

00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:06.400
looks stellar. And adding all of this customization can really help

00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:12.160
personalize your device. Something everyone else has been able to do on a more robust scale for years. Apple

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.240
showed off a few more welcome features like a phone app and live activities so

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.880
you can work seamlessly between devices, enabling everything new for iOS, like

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.400
live translation to be accessible from your Mac. The new gaming app looks

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.080
shockingly usable with a new overlay that actually looks pretty familiar to

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.560
all the handheld gamers out there. They mentioned that Metal 4 is on the way and

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:36.800
features some next-gen rendering tech like frame interpolation and dnoising.

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:41.039
But I'm actually pretty excited about the ability to challenge friends with a

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.880
sort of unofficial leaderboard, even if it is in single player games. Their game

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:49.039
library is continuing to grow, and considering The Sims is one of the few

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.840
games that has always worked on Macs, I'm happy to see Enzoy has taken up the

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:59.120
torch. But the coolest part, aside from this Bredosaurus hoodie,

00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.639
lttstore.com, is the Spotlight upgrades.

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.759
The demo they showed where Buddy grabbed his document through Spotlight, used

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.840
Spotlight to then erase the background and keep it transparent, and then sent

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:11.400
that same file to another commonly used app, all without going anywhere except

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.280
for this handy little search bar that could. And to make it even snappier,

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:18.879
they've added quick keys, which are basically shorthand commands to do

00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:24.800
specific actions like send emails or create a note. Not quite last and not

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:27.440
quite least, Vision OS. Yep, the Vision

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.639
Pro lives. And it honestly seems like they're marketing it to businesses now

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:33.919
as a way to level up your work experience. They showed off multiple

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:38.240
people wearing headsets within the same physical space now interacting with

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:43.039
virtual assets together. And while it is a very high-end solution to a problem,

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:46.720
it looks pretty sick and genuinely futuristic.

00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:51.760
I don't know how much I agree with their claim that consumers love the Vision

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:56.480
Pro, but I love the cool spatial widgets. Seriously, this is what I

00:08:54.160 --> 00:09:01.279
imagine when I think of a true augmented reality. Just think, instead of spending

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:06.959
hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars on physical goods like a TV, a calendar,

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:08.640
and a clock, you could just spend $3,500

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:13.120
on a Vision Pro and not bother decorating your space. Okay, yes, the

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:17.760
dystopian image of someone wearing a Vision Pro in an otherwise empty

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:22.240
apartment is terrifying, but think of the possibilities. Who knows, in just 10

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:25.760
short years, the Vision Pro might become more affordable. It also really helps

00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:29.680
that they fix the Personas, too. That's right. They are much less horrifying and

00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:33.360
actually look somewhat realistic. You can also create profiles so you don't

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.600
have to constantly make adjustments when you're sharing headsets. They're adding

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:42.560
PSVR2 sense controller support. And spatial photos are becoming more

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:44.480
realistic with spatial scenes. And if a

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:48.480
website supports it, you can get spatial experience on the web, too. Like the

00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.160
ability to pluck 3D objects from your browser and pop them virtually into your

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:56.640
living room. The potential for the spatial web is actually pretty sick. But

00:09:54.560 --> 00:10:00.959
again, none of that really matters until these devices become significantly more

00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:04.640
affordable than they are today. Speaking of things that definitely matter, how

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:08.720
about image playground and gen emoji upgrades? Kind of cool, I guess. Yeah,

00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:12.480
you can combine emojis to make new ones, and you can even apply these changes to

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:16.640
your own avatar. But was mankind really meant to have such power? Personally, I

00:10:14.959 --> 00:10:20.160
miss the days when emoticons were made with punctuation marks rather than with

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:25.440
machine learning. But I guess you can't stand in the way of progress or our

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:29.839
sponsor, Acuity Scheduling. At work, sometimes actually doing your job is the

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:34.399
least time-consuming part of your day. Preparation and organization can take up

00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:39.279
countless hours. Time which you could be spending closing deals, seeing clients,

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:43.680
or in meaningful meetings. Acuity Scheduling is a comprehensive scheduling

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:48.480
software that offers in-depth calendar management, easy booking tools, and

00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:52.640
multiple ways to send reminders and follow up on bookings. Quickly set up,

00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:56.240
then sync your calendar up with a variety of different platforms, so you

00:10:54.560 --> 00:11:00.160
avoid double booking between internal meetings and client sessions. We've all

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:04.560
been there, or at least have come close. It sucks. Speaking of client sessions,

00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:09.040
you can set up your online booking page with your brand font, colors, and logos,

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:13.440
and then send automated confirmation emails, text reminders, intake forms,

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:18.240
and much, much more. Acuity Scheduling even integrates with popular payment

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:22.160
providers like Square and PayPal, making the transaction process easier for your

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.560
clients. Get started with Acue Scheduling by clicking our link in the

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.279
thanks for watching. Let me know down in the comments what feature you're excited

00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:37.839
about that we didn't really talk about today, or what one we did talk about,

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:41.519
but you're just uber excited about. And um maybe check out last year's WWDC

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.880
