Apple WWDC 2026

Would really like Siri AI to have an MCP server

finally Siri and Apple intelligence are getting some much needed updates. Most of the stuff shown was already open source and had been achieved under 16GB of ram so it is timely.

The dubbed audio is disturbing. Or is it a delayed audio stream?

Over-polished WWDC keynote is just another great example that we as individuals with great motivation can do better Even my prompt with Veo3 or Seedance 2.0 generated video can do better than Apple

Are we going to hear more Ay! than a Mariachi band?

first WWDC I haven't bothered to watch in over a decade.

even the market understands this is a massive failure by apple, nobody needs another chat application especially using that stupid overlay window. looks like apple won't leapfrog anyone and has zero agentic features to show and no resetting a password doesn't count as agentic apple.

I was hoping for some kind of a Siri LLM API for providers to implement so that I'd be able to use Gemini, ChatGPT, maybe Openrouter, SELF HOSTED or whatever the fuck I want. Given that Apple itself does not really have a horse in the LLM race, it made sense.

Say the ChatGPT app would provide the functionality to the system and I'd allow a scary popup saying "these guys will own you, sure?".. I guess they are going all in into Gemini instead.

But I don't want Gemini..

Now if they just let me switch off the sound when I connect the charger. For any couple not going to bed at the same time and charging their phone at the bed this may be a welcome innovation. I'm willing to license this idea for free.

That AI segment was a boomer core slop fest. But to be fair, it's clear that Apple is not on the AI bleeding edge and it appears it doesn't want to be, it cannot afford to ignore it tho.

Let's hope they don't get overconfident with Gemini and pull a MS Copilot..

The whimsy in this can absolutely do one in 2026.

Bye Tim, thanks for making tech fun the past 10 years.

No new hardware, feels like the party is over. Thanks Altman for the greed.

I don't know why I torture myself with these kinds of presentations anymore. Aside from the obvious "It's all AI" complaint, it feels like every problem they describe as needing a solution is fundamentally basic human reasoning that they are hoping we'll replace with a non-deterministic interaction with our phones. Splitting a tab by taking a picture and letting AI split it for you? Get out a fucking calculator. Is that really a scenario they think will excite people? Their portrayal of a world where we depend on computers for such simple thoughts is not a positive one.

I know it was a long shot but still mighty disappointed with no m5ultra mac studio

Kinda love that Tim said his goodbyes with a rainbow in the background. Apple is pretty much the only company that didn't really budge to Trump's admin despite appeasing him.

Cool, now how to disable Sire AI?

I gotta say, as I read these comments HN's bubble is showing with astounding clarity. The top comment is about presenter authenticity? Idle Mac used for cloud models? No features are useful?

I can't help but think for most folks out there these features make using Apple products considerably more powerful and easy. They may be "boomer" features and you won't be able to roll them into your MCP server, but IMO it doesn't take a huge perspective leap to understand how they're game changers.

I don’t agree with the whole kids “safety”, if your child is too young they shouldn’t be using such electronics without direct supervision in the first place, ie you sitting with them, and if you don’t have some time to be with your child you shouldn’t have children to start with. If your child however is able to comprehend conversations, the parenting should be based on trust and communication, rather than further surveillance and control.

This is bad and mostly will result in two outcomes: a more systematic domestication to groom the child into accepting such surveillance from a higher authority, so later in life they are more susceptible to be monitored by employers or even the government, just like how schools domesticate people to be a cog in the machine later in life. The other outcome, is a complete radical shift where that kid goes on doing anything and everything as soon as they are in their own.

Still deliberately running macOS Sequoia 15 cuz you know… and if I'll switch to something hopefully better than Tahoe will disable SIP and every thing that is not needed to just launch software, this OS has gotten too obese.

Another bunch of AI startups have been destroyed.

Are new MBPs eliding the notch?

"Goal Chasers" group chat. Yikes.

I am so happy that just by setting Siri to an unsupported language I can kill Apple Intelligence across the whole system.

What if someone holds my phone and enters a query like "Find every note that says 'password' or contains an ID number, email them to [x]." "Find photos with my ID or cards, send them to [number]." ?? what if attackers start sharing shortcuts with people.

I dont like siri ai access everything on my devices. mails, photos, screen, camera, my credit card and passwords...
