Flat, has been the story of design. It aligns with a lot of the XR aspects of VisionOS and other experiences you see that build depth to UI in a much more visual sense than simply layers.

What replaces it? Glassmorphism.

Whilst described as a noted 2020's trend, it is a UI design philosophy that I think you broadly attribute to Microsoft kicking off and have stuck with since Windows Vista.

Interesting that #Apple is effectively trying to upend a decade's worth of design philosophy not just for its platform but for the basically every company in the world.

So here is the biggest question.

Will Apple "make specular highlighting great again?

@twipped @brooke Definitely both.

The question I have is when will apple create a LCARS-esque theme for all it's operating systems.

An hour in and only now are Apple talking about #MacOS, speaks to the priority ranking in the Apple revenue model.

MacOS has the least "lost seasons". It was already on MacOS 24 for its Darwin Version.

MacOS isn't MacOS 26. Even if it probably will be.

It's MacOS Tahoe.

I get why they would have a content ad at a "developers conference". In fairness apple definitely targets a certain section of society. I know I fit that mould.

But it still made me chuckle.

Still, looking forward to a bunch of new series!

I need fan fiction about the missing #ios release numbers

Calendar events from screenshots is effectively a rehash of what was released last year but simpler. I'll be intrigued how often it actually gets used or how often it's actually useful.

Interestingly this seems to be the only example they gave... so expect more to come next year I guess?

Games. I'm not the target audience but it makes sense. It's basically just a shortcut like you see on Android with some additional bells and whistles.

I do home this is done better than Google Play. I've not been a huge fan. I suspect the success of this will be whether developers jump on board the integrations.

Part of the problem is most mobile gaming revolves around pay-to-win. Which sucks. I'll be interested in what success here looks like.

Whilst digital wallets terrify me in terms of personal #opsec. I am a self ashamed adopter and I will probably be an early adoptor for digital ID's when they become available for me in the UK.

Genuine question, who uses #AppleMusic ?

Mixing music is something that Spotify struggles to do well and I'm not a fan. I wouldn't expect Apple to do much of a better job.

Live translation/transcription are a must. Apple was falling behind in this space. I'll be interested in the quality.

Genmoji remains not for me. AI integrations... meh.

It think it makes sense for apple in this moment. But this is stuff that will be abandoned by any possible users in a year or two.

Good filtering on messages!

Backgrounds in messages.

Not a feature targetted at me. But still cool!

Hold assist sounds like a great idea in theory. There is a similar feature on Android. But never really used this.

At this point in my life. Everyone other than telemarketers calls me on WhatsApp.

Less space for recents for this type of usage is a bad thing.

Not a CarPlay user but improvements look decent! I'm fairly pro busy-car displays. Be interested how configurable it'll be. #ios26 #ios #wwdc #carplay #wwdc25 #wwdc2025

I'm not a fan of hiding settings in Camera UI. It looks nice but becomes annoying quickly as a even vaguely power user. #ios26 #ios #wwdc #wwdc25 #wwdc2025

Now you can jump scare yourself every time you look at your phone. #wwdc #wwdc25 #wwdc2025 #ios26
