John Gruber:

Ever since I started doing these live shows from WWDC, I’ve kept the guest(s) secret, until showtime. I’m still doing that this year. But in recent years the guests have seemed a bit predictable: senior executives from Apple. This year I again extended my usual invitation to Apple, but, for the first time since 2015, they declined.

I’m so curious if Apple had declined before or after Gruber wrote ‘Something is Rotten in the State of Cupertino’. Either way, rotten indeed.
