WWDC26 opens with macOS 27 'Golden Gate' preview and Apple Intelligence logo

techJun 8, 202645582

At WWDC26, Tim Cook opened the keynote by previewing macOS 27 "Golden Gate" and showing a new Apple Intelligence logo in the introduction. Apple said the event will center on Apple Intelligence and a redesigned Siri, and highlighted platform-wide updates across IOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple demonstrated design refinements including Liquid Glass adjustments, a more uniform toolbar and expanded sidebars, and introduced a new Search Architecture that indexes Mail and other content faster. The company emphasized performance improvements that bring IOS 27 to older phones such as iPhone 11, positioning AI and system upgrades to make assistants smarter and everyday tasks faster across devices.

Fascinating to see Apple talk about Apple Intelligence while simultaneously realizing that people don't trust a chatbot that constantly calls the cops on you. I think they realize they have an advantage by virtue of everyone else being radioactive. They just keep saying "PRIVACY".

lol at the part where they say "this will not be available in the EU or China yet"

Being so bad and internal software R&D that they stumble backwards into the right answer of “on device neural processing”

On-device models is reassuring there, but I still wanna know how much of this stuff I can just say "no, go away" to.

Not to mention not trusting “Apple Health” with even having your menstruation 🩸 cycle information from the early days of round two of the TrumptopianHellscape ffs

ive seen a lot of apple services that cater to people that are worried about their digital privacy, even if (or especially if) they dont understand what the privacy features really do. companies have been really big on obfuscating essential online information the past couple of years

Two years after first revealing its plans for Apple Intelligence and a smarter Siri that never fully materialized, Apple has used its latest Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to reveal a new set of AI features and a smarter, more personalized Siri. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/942416/...

I never wanted or got Siri without AI. I sure as hell don't want Siri WITH AI.

Siri. I really hate that useless scold.

Siri, come up with a snarky post about Apple re-hashing the 2024 WWDC keynote and acting like this is the first time they've talked about Apple Intelligence + Siri.

apple is killing a lot of AI startups with these apple intelligence announcements, really making it clear that AI is a feature and not a product (in most cases) #wwdc

if Apple delivers on the quality of AI features its showcasing today, i think it will dramatically change the cultural conversation around AI… a lot of the toxic discourse we’ve been seeing is heavily dependent upon peoples’ lack of experience with the practical benefits that AI is capable of

Developers are submitting 1,000 apps per hour to the App Store. At least five of those are good! #wwdc

I'm not sure if I would want Safari to "agentically" update my passwords on multiple websites for me using Apple Intelligence 😬🫣 #wwdc26

"your password has been updated to sorryyouhaverunoutoftokens"

same! was just thinking this

Hilary Baumann 💻 🥃2

Same but I would have to seriously consider it for younger kids that have passwords or aging adults (who wouldn't be changing their passwords any other way)

lol they can't roll out any of the Apple Intelligence features in the EU and China due to regulations the US is only so lucky to get it immediately /s

the Home app with Apple Intelligence can now help surveil your friends and neighbors with less friction than ever before!

ouch! Apple is letting you *automatically* change your leaked/insecure passwords on websites by giving an Apple Intelligence agent access to Safari to do it for you… I personally would never trust this #wwdc

An iPhone Security screen shows Automatically Fix Passwords with a panel saying “Passwords is attempting to sign in to these accounts and fix their passwords.” A Cancel button sits above a list including Cervantes Bank, “Saving strong password…”, and Tax Prep Pro marked “Compromised password”.

70% faster photo loading and 80% faster AirDrop is exactly the kind of improvements I get excited about these days. #WWDC26

Apple's latest AI upgrades are coming to every part of the ecosystem, including iPadOS 27, where Apple also focused on system optimizations and Liquid Glass changes.

None of this seems particularly groundbreaking from an AI-perspective of course, but if Apple can implement in easy-to-use ways at scale... that's basically what Apple does. And that matters! That was always the promise of Apple Intelligence. So again, IF IT WORKS. #wwdc26
