@jarrod Thrilled to finally get a UI for change suggestions!

@jarrod Psyched for these!

@jarrod Creating custom barcode and QR code passes for Wallet is about 10 years overdue, but welcome nonetheless.

@jarrod Cool, but what about outdoor accuracy? Tracked miles on long hikes are multiple miles off. Like 20-30% off from accurate. Was hoping for some improvement there.

@jarrod Do we consider this confirmation that Private Cloud Compute will be running on Apple’s servers and not Google’s after all?

@jarrod You won’t have to bring your iPhone on your workout to get insights from Workout Buddy:

@jarrod Thrilled to finally get a UI for change suggestions!

@jarrod Psyched for these!

@mactanaka Whoa! Huge congrats!!

@jarrod Drafts (@agiletortoise@mastodon.social) and Callsheet (@caseyliss@mastodon.social) callouts! 😁

@jarrod Device Hub looks very handy for a multi-touch Mac and testing for a foldable iPhone…

@jarrod That raccoon is my new favorite WWDC mascot. 😍

@jarrod Notify Me, Custom Extensions, and agentic passwords upgrades are three features that I never imagined getting introduced today, but I can definitely see myself using.

@jarrod Siri + Spotlight in macOS. Finally! But not for iOS/iPadOS? Would be nice there too.

@jarrod I appreciate that they’re showing the actual wait time for Siri to work on these things. It’s not instant, but also not egregiously slow.

@jarrod Whoa! That fine-grained Siri voice customization is excellent. So much better than just choosing between several options.

@jarrod I expect the the “AI” in “Siri AI” to be dropped within two years.

@jarrod That new Siri design/animation is so good. Seemed like everyone liked the colorful frame design more than I did.

@jarrod If I had been playing the Rickies, I would have predicted that Mike Rockwell presents the new Siri. I’d have gotten the point. (Boo for calling it “Siri AI”. We don’t need “AI” in everything.)

@jarrod A second on-device model for supported devices? Newer devices get a better model?

@jarrod Realistic image generation. Boo. 👎

@jarrod Google’s Gemini get’s a shoutout for the foundation architecture.

@jarrod Okay, let’s see if they can land this Apple Intelligence plane. It’s been circling for two years.

@jarrod Maybe it’s the people going about their business in the background around Apple Park, but this is the most human and personable Apple Event in a while. Strikingly different than Google’s IO.

@jarrod I must say, I’m so glad I’m not a parent and have to manage all these Screen Time settings.
