All right, so two quick thoughts at the conclusion of #WWDC25.
I had two wishes going into the keynote:
1. Prove you can still craft computer OS UIs.
2. Prove you don't need to shoehorn in ridiculous "#Apple Intelligence" crap in a desperate bid to supposedly remain relevant.
Alas, I didn't win number 2. There's still a bunch of that goo. I hope I can opt out of all of it.
But I do think we got number 1 — especially with iPadOS and even with macOS in some key ways. Overall, I dig it.
Oooooo, this is a real big cherry on top!
New Safari 26 feature:
“Every site can be a web app on iOS and iPadOS”
Just like in macOS, anything can become an installable web app if you wish. This is huuuuuuuuge! Most of the apps I use every day are web apps!
