Just hours away from WWDC's opening keynote, some developers have been sharing the contents of their conference swag bags on social media. The bags are given to attendees when they register for the event, and typically contain limited-edition Apple gifts.

This year, developers have been registering early at Apple's Infinite Loop campus, where they have been gifted a black tote bag emblazoned with the WWDC 2026 logo, along with a water bottle, a selection of stickers, and collectible enamel pins.

There are four pins in the bag, including the Apple skull and crossbones, an Apple 50 pin, Clarius the Dogcow, and Little Finder Guy – the tiny anthropomorphized version of the Mac Finder icon that went viral after appearing in Apple's recent online marketing campaign for the MacBook Neo.

With that title, you'd really think that they meant the Little Finder Guy was like... a figure... and not a pin.

Still praying for the day that they make a hipper version so that I can stick him onto my devices 🤞
 
Man it would be awesome if we had the option of being able to change Siri to the cute lil finder guy.

Of course there would still be the misery guys that pop up around these parts saying that ‘it’s not innovation’ and demanding Apple reinvent the wheel every 6 months.

How cool (and inexpensive) would it be to have a Lil Finder Guy pin tucked away in every MacBook box? Maybe a non penny-pinching non-greenwashing CEO could bring some fun back in the products?
 
I really wouldn't mind if Apple adapted this little finder guy to move and react to users' AI prompts.
 
They have destroyed the meaning of the icon.

The icon isn’t a blue guy with a phantom of the opera half mask. The left side of the Finder icon is the Mac screen and the right side of the face is the human user sitting in front of the computer, well, using it. They are both happy at eachother. It is the concept of human interface as an icon. It was done as a Picasso-esque “two faces in one” style. Iconic. To dumb it down to the latchkey terminally online zoomer Funco Pop generation and make it be entirely a “little blue guy” smiling on his face with a weird half mask (with no smile!) completely destroys the meaning and metaphor. For what? Some Mac tourists who think they are devs because they vibe coded for 45 minutes? Enough.
