This is weak tea and disappointing. This is the kind of strategy that IBM was infamous for in its heyday: license, re-market, and then replace with a proprietary system later when it has its bureaucratic head out of its a$$ and figures out what to do. Apple must be really worried about looking like laggards in the face of products offered by Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and ChatGPT.

Can anyone verify that Systems Settings is actually going to be addressed, as in the layout. The much talked about Systems Settings design controversy (which I agree, it is a mess). Go back to the non list look, and with Categories that make sense.
Wall st demands it. It’s show me some AI or suffer. It’s all an AI rally led by nvidia.
I don't disagree in 2024 privacy is very important. They just overemphasized it to the point where it seemed like they were hiding something.
That isn't what Apple is doing. This sits on top of Siri, Siri handles local inferenes with local data. Chat GPT will replace "do you want to search web" part of current siri.
It can be just smaller on device LLM so i don't think they'll use any cloud compute for that
This might be the first event where I literally have to go out of my way to find the WWDC summary videos that the Verge and other channels post. MKBHD will hopefully break all this down for me cause I'm not watching this long event again lol.
If you're not into fashion then why are you commenting on what they wear ! All the presenters were smartly dressed. Tell us you're old and out of touch without telling us you're old and out of touch.
The other thing that bugged me, is there was no talk of performance improvements or optimizations on the OS level.
I’m typing this on an M1-based iPad Air and the function to get to the top of the webpage (tap the top bar) is broken. Only way to fix this is to force quit Safari. I’ve already filed a bug report with Apple.

Use Apple. custom models to make doing things easier on the phone. Summarize notifications, mails. Add contents with out worry about AI prompts in texts and images. And for the infamous Siri asking"Do you want to search the web" will be replaced by chatgpt.
I know right. Spend that time drawing to replace it. Seemed wasteful. The drawing was better.
But I have no idea when I would ever do this in notes. Or want to.
Siri, what time is it?

Over the last 5 or so years these videos have shown us a number of looks trendy within the silicon valley subculture. From the standing desks to striking these power poses when they're going to speak, to awkwardly spread out 90deg bend knee standing stances, to the aggressive praying at you gesture Tim's still doing, & shirts tucked into hiked up pants etc... I think the thought is it'll seem like the future is lifestyle coaches improving every aspect of our lives, but to anyone outside the bubble it adds up to look really weird, like these people have lost touch with reality or have been replaced by robots.
For me its the wild leaping and mad running around from one empty white space into another. I get what it's supposed to visually represent but taken to such extremes its as if they're saying "look how hard we have to try to keep you from falling asleep".
Agreed. I'm not a super tech user, but I am a tech savvy multitasker who uses a lot of various apps for work, business, family, groups, travel, and other personal interests. I look for ease of use, speed, organization, and information that will help me quickly. And the experience should be fun and enjoyable. I'm in the "rest of us" segment and agree it was a good WWDC and the right step for Apple Intelligence - it is focused on personal intelligence with at least the option for privacy decisions by the user.
iPadOS was missing some key updates that I was interested in and WatchOS was okay. The rest was fine.
When Tim was going over the big reasons for Apple Intelligence, my mind was looking at the words and wondering if they’d use an acronym to be clever. Instead, we got PIIPP
