wheres the other half of mark

 

[Candlelight]

Everything announced in 2 seconds:

AI.

 

[RadMac]

Well, that's a short list 😉

 

[dominiongamma]

Can we make Gemini are default for Siri ? It was heavily rumored.

[NufSaid]

Like there is an announcement video tomorrow right.

Like this was not good at all. It was just a "siri is going to work now" announcment.
I have so many apple products but this lack of "intelligence" is wearing my patience very thin.

 

[dwhankner]

Everything sounds great! Can’t wait for the public batas. Just missing new hardware announcements. Guess I’ll have to wait til October to upgrade my M4 Mac Studio max to the M5 version. Then I am good for 5 years on new hardware. Won’t get the M6.

You weren’t paying attention then.

My phone and iPad are dramatically faster, smoother and overall way more responsive.

Very good update.

 

[topmounter]

Siri gets her Quinceañera? Thanks Google 🙄 Hopefully you can still disable Siri.

 

[Padre_Pio]

I have the beta iOS 27 and the only changes I notice are more detailed Settings and Maps apps, the removal of the whole sides of the phone glowing with Siri and a new wallpaper. Is the new Siri app part of the wait list? 'Cause it ain't on my beta, which is running on an old iPhone 14 Pro Max

 

[Warped9]

Only two or three things that registered with me: making phones work faster, more editing functions in Photos and being able to turn Liquid Glass transparency down and tweaking the look of Mac OS Golden Lake. The rest meant nothing to me.

 

[gleepskip]

This is the main feature we wanted them to show

 

[fel10]

A whole lot of nothing

 

[rosschang]

no hardware. meh.

 

[imac_g4_1702]

no hardware. meh.

You dont know what WWDC stands for?

 

[icwhatudidthere]

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but there's a developer video talking about usage limits. So private cloud compute will have daily usage limits and there will be subscription tiers as part of iCloud+. Also mentioned here:

Apple Intelligence brings powerful AI capabilities into everyday experiences

Apple unveils the next generation of Apple Intelligence, integrating powerful AI capabilities into iPhone, iPad, and Mac for more personal and helpful everyday experiences.

One question: can I opt out of all of these AI “features”.

I’m okay to be left behind, just spare me AI slop in my private space.

 

[artifex]

Homekit 4K.

 

[Chawkida21]

What a waste of resources and time.

 

[jchap]

As a longtime freelance translator, editor, and musician, and someone who’s used Macs for the better part of two decades, I’m not sure how anything addressed at WWDC 2026 is really going to make much of an impact on my workflow.

The Siri AI features sound mostly gimmicky, to be honest. I don’t think that Apple has really presented any interesting workflows that would measurably enhance the quality of anybody’s life. I am curious to see how the Apple Intelligence-based Shortcuts app will live up to its hype, since I could really appreciate a tool that would help me to manipulate text in more flexible and intuitive ways.

Overall, I think that it’s also nice to hear about the performance improvements, even though my iPad mini 5 is excluded from this. It feels like with this update, Apple devices are getting “smarter“ but not much more useful. Apple Intelligence was never supported on my iPhone 14+, anyway, so the only area where Apple’s highly-touted new AI features might even register are on my Macs.

…I’m okay to be left behind, just spare me AI slop in my private space.

And the battery burn that this AI will cause. I mean, you really have to be into your iPhone to get all of those advantages which will be a huge tax on your battery. Also, I wonder when all the bugaboos will be worked out. Maybe next summer?

 

[Agent007]

looks like Apple is doubling down on monthly revenue and ignoring hardware.

I also think the "one number shared across two phones" was some bean-counter's idea to get wealthy people to buy two phones. "Bring your fashionable iPhone Air to the Formula 1 race and use your iPhone 17 Pro for high-intensity crypto trading from your GulfStream"

It looks like they produce a children's TV show. In that picture...and in MacOS lately🥁
