Liquid Glass and the Great Apple Redesign

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,586
Okay, so, WWDC25 just wrapped,
and wow-where do we even begin?

2
00:00:04,586 --> 00:00:07,732
I mean, Apple just dropped one of the
most hyped announcements we've

3
00:00:07,732 --> 00:00:08,754
seen in forever.

4
00:00:08,754 --> 00:00:10,403
Like, "Liquid Glass"?

5
00:00:10,403 --> 00:00:11,401
Are you kidding me?

6
00:00:11,401 --> 00:00:15,432
The name alone sounds like it's straight
out of a sci-fi novel.

7
00:00:11,401 --> 00:00:15,432
Yeah,

8
00:00:15,432 --> 00:00:18,196
sounds like marketing found their
buzzword of the year.

9
00:00:18,196 --> 00:00:22,085
My question is-what does it actually do
that isn't just...

10
00:00:22,085 --> 00:00:24,199
shiny for the sake of shiny?

11
00:00:22,085 --> 00:00:24,199
Oh,

12
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:24,779
come on!

13
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:26,706
You've got to admit it's kind of genius,

14
00:00:26,706 --> 00:00:27,113
right?

15
00:00:27,113 --> 00:00:29,388
It's not just shiny; it's dynamic,

16
00:00:29,388 --> 00:00:33,161
adaptive-translucent materials that
actually reflect your surroundings.

17
00:00:33,161 --> 00:00:35,413
This isn't just another aesthetic tweak.

18
00:00:35,413 --> 00:00:38,862
We're talking about a whole new
interaction layer across iOS,

19
00:00:38,862 --> 00:00:41,009
macOS, watchOS-the works.

20
00:00:41,009 --> 00:00:42,679
It's everywhere!

21
00:00:41,009 --> 00:00:42,679
Huh.

22
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:46,160
So now your app buttons can refract
light?

23
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:46,160
Not just light!

24
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,089
Content too.

25
00:00:47,089 --> 00:00:49,898
The controls literally shift based on
context.

26
00:00:49,898 --> 00:00:53,416
It reacts to what's happening on
screen-like your notifications or lock

27
00:00:53,416 --> 00:00:54,276
screen widgets.

28
00:00:54,276 --> 00:00:58,211
Apple's calling it "Liquid Glass" because
it's both glass-like and alive

29
00:00:58,211 --> 00:01:00,324
with this insane level of fluidity.

30
00:01:00,324 --> 00:01:03,474
It's like technology just leveled up!

31
00:01:00,324 --> 00:01:03,474
Okay,

32
00:01:03,474 --> 00:01:04,042
okay.

33
00:01:04,042 --> 00:01:05,307
Cynicism noted.

34
00:01:05,307 --> 00:01:07,270
But isn't that Apple's whole thing?

35
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:10,114
Seamless hardware and software married
together?

36
00:01:10,114 --> 00:01:14,212
And by the way, this isn't just design
fluff-Liquid Glass is tied to

37
00:01:14,212 --> 00:01:16,000
what they're doing with visionOS.

38
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,181
It feels like they're laying the
groundwork for something way bigger.

39
00:01:19,181 --> 00:01:24,213
See the connection?

40
00:01:19,181 --> 00:01:24,213
I see companies connecting shiny new
ideas to justify

41
00:01:24,213 --> 00:01:25,595
their product ecosystem.

42
00:01:25,595 --> 00:01:28,579
Don't get me wrong, though-I'm curious.

43
00:01:25,595 --> 00:01:28,579
Yeah,

44
00:01:28,579 --> 00:01:32,177
Finn curious-this is the plot twist of
2025.

45
00:01:32,177 --> 00:01:36,194
Stick with me, because next we're tearing
into the guts of Liquid Glass:

46
00:01:36,194 --> 00:01:38,586
how it actually works,
what it does for users,

47
00:01:38,586 --> 00:01:42,522
and how much visionOS DNA Apple's really
mixing into this stuff.

48
00:01:42,522 --> 00:01:47,119
Spoiler: It's a lot.

49
00:01:42,522 --> 00:01:47,119
So, Finn,
remember how we talked about visionOS and

50
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:49,070
Liquid Glass setting up something bigger?

51
00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:52,750
Let's dive in-Liquid Glass isn't just a
flashy name.

52
00:01:52,750 --> 00:01:56,582
It's like this living, breathing layer
that molds itself around what

53
00:01:56,582 --> 00:01:57,209
you're doing.

54
00:01:57,209 --> 00:02:01,435
For instance, have you seen the new Lock
Screen on iOS 26?

55
00:02:01,435 --> 00:02:04,476
The time now tucks itself into the
background image,

56
00:02:04,476 --> 00:02:06,566
seamlessly flowing with the subject.

57
00:02:06,566 --> 00:02:10,005
It's honestly brilliant.

58
00:02:06,566 --> 00:02:10,005
Wait, let me get this straight.

59
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:13,396
The clock is hiding behind your dog's
ears in a photo,

60
00:02:13,396 --> 00:02:15,405
and that's supposed to blow my mind?

61
00:02:15,405 --> 00:02:20,014
I've been around long enough to know that
"seamless" usually means "harder

62
00:02:20,014 --> 00:02:21,730
to use."No!

63
00:02:21,730 --> 00:02:23,681
Well, okay, maybe, but listen.

64
00:02:23,681 --> 00:02:25,481
It's more about how it adapts.

65
00:02:25,481 --> 00:02:29,718
Liquid Glass isn't static-Apple
engineered it to shift between light

66
00:02:29,718 --> 00:02:33,433
and dark environments, refracting colors
based on what's on screen.

67
00:02:33,433 --> 00:02:36,870
It's like this invisible designer working
behind the scenes.

68
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:41,132
You can't tell me that doesn't scream
innovation.

69
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:41,132
It might scream,

70
00:02:41,132 --> 00:02:43,303
but does it whisper practicality?

71
00:02:43,303 --> 00:02:47,041
I mean, are these changes solving real
usability issues,

72
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:50,687
or am I squinting at my translucent
buttons because they blend into the

73
00:02:50,687 --> 00:02:53,622
background?

74
00:02:50,687 --> 00:02:53,622
Okay, but here's where it gets functional.

75
00:02:53,622 --> 00:02:57,430
Liquid Glass doesn't just look cool; it
plays into spatial computing.

76
00:02:57,430 --> 00:03:01,714
This design is bridging into
visionOS-context-driven controls,

77
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:03,386
real-time visual rendering.

78
00:03:03,386 --> 00:03:06,567
Remember when they introduced spatial
widgets for Vision Pro?

79
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:11,617
Liquid Glass has the same DNA-adapting
seamlessly across devices.

80
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:11,617
You're

81
00:03:11,617 --> 00:03:16,122
telling me my iPad's sidebar now
"breathes" like the Vision Pro widgets.

82
00:03:16,122 --> 00:03:21,819
So what, now all our devices get to act
like they think they're holograms?

83
00:03:16,122 --> 00:03:21,819
Exactly!

84
00:03:21,819 --> 00:03:23,003
Well, kind of.

85
00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:26,080
It's integrating everywhere-macOS Tahoe,

86
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,391
watchOS, even tvOS.

87
00:03:28,391 --> 00:03:32,710
Those contextual shifts you can see in
the sidebars or when Apple Music's

88
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:34,950
tabs float while shrinking mid-scroll?

89
00:03:34,950 --> 00:03:38,515
It's all rooted in this Liquid Glass
design philosophy.

90
00:03:38,515 --> 00:03:40,604
Sure, maybe it's a little extra now,

91
00:03:40,604 --> 00:03:42,984
but it feels like step one toward smarter,

92
00:03:42,984 --> 00:03:47,674
more adaptive tech landscapes.

93
00:03:42,984 --> 00:03:47,674
Or it's step one toward distractions while

94
00:03:47,674 --> 00:03:49,438
you're trying to navigate your apps.

95
00:03:49,438 --> 00:03:53,734
Honestly though, I'll give them credit
for one thing-at least it's consistent

96
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:54,872
across platforms.

97
00:03:54,872 --> 00:03:59,272
I've seen worse attempts at
cross-platform design unity... don't even

98
00:03:54,872 --> 00:03:59,272
get

99
00:03:59,272 --> 00:04:01,342
me started on Windows 8.

100
00:03:59,272 --> 00:04:01,342
See?

101
00:04:01,342 --> 00:04:02,445
You're coming around!

102
00:04:02,445 --> 00:04:04,906
And think about the possibilities for
developers.

103
00:04:04,906 --> 00:04:08,204
With this real-time rendering and updated
API sets,

104
00:04:08,204 --> 00:04:11,757
they've got tools that can transform app
UIs like never before.

105
00:04:11,757 --> 00:04:16,238
It's expertly crafted, sleek, and clearly
tailored for the Apple ecosystem's

106
00:04:16,238 --> 00:04:18,886
future.

107
00:04:16,238 --> 00:04:18,886
Tailored is one way to put it.

108
00:04:18,886 --> 00:04:21,568
Immersing users into their wallet-I mean,

109
00:04:21,568 --> 00:04:23,100
ecosystem-is more like it.

110
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:24,563
But sure, I'll bite.

111
00:04:24,563 --> 00:04:28,464
All these shiny tabs and floating
frameworks might be paving the way

112
00:04:28,464 --> 00:04:29,416
for something bigger.

113
00:04:29,416 --> 00:04:32,830
Just let me know when it stops being
visual flair.

114
00:04:29,416 --> 00:04:32,830
Alright,

115
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:33,248
alright.

116
00:04:33,248 --> 00:04:36,104
So we've got Finn mildly intrigued-mark
the record.

117
00:04:36,104 --> 00:04:37,486
But listen, the next part's big.

118
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:41,317
We're talking about Spotlight on macOS
getting the glow-up of a lifetime-like,

119
00:04:41,317 --> 00:04:44,870
not even kidding, it might be the
ultimate user search tool now.

120
00:04:41,317 --> 00:04:44,870
Speaking

121
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:48,632
of Apple's ecosystem evolving,
have you checked out macOS Spotlight?

122
00:04:48,632 --> 00:04:50,431
It's not just a search tool anymore.

123
00:04:50,431 --> 00:04:53,287
It's practically your command center
now-you can email someone,

124
00:04:53,287 --> 00:04:55,807
create a note,
or even pull up a podcast directly,

125
00:04:55,807 --> 00:04:57,734
all from a single Spotlight search.

126
00:04:57,734 --> 00:05:02,818
One search bar to rule them all!

127
00:04:57,734 --> 00:05:02,818
That depends-is this "rule them all"

128
00:05:02,818 --> 00:05:06,034
moment another excuse to load Spotlight
with needless clutter?

129
00:05:06,034 --> 00:05:08,658
Because the last time I opened Spotlight,

130
00:05:08,658 --> 00:05:12,350
it suggested buying earrings because I
once searched for jewelry diagrams

131
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:15,459
in 2008.

132
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:15,459
No clutter this time, trust me!

133
00:05:15,459 --> 00:05:17,119
Spotlight is smarter now.

134
00:05:17,119 --> 00:05:20,382
It intelligently ranks results and lets
you filter by type,

135
00:05:20,382 --> 00:05:23,180
like PDFs or messages,
without opening apps.

136
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:27,278
So, let's say you're tracking a recipe;
it'll even browse clipboard history!

137
00:05:27,278 --> 00:05:30,940
It's slick and feels so... ahead.

138
00:05:27,278 --> 00:05:30,940
Ahead,

139
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:31,265
huh?

140
00:05:31,265 --> 00:05:34,250
Only if those "intelligent rankings"
actually work.

141
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:37,895
Otherwise, I'm just wading through
filtered results rather than straight

142
00:05:37,895 --> 00:05:38,453
answers.

143
00:05:38,453 --> 00:05:40,752
Still, clipboard history?

144
00:05:40,752 --> 00:05:44,114
That's interesting... fine, I'll admit it.

145
00:05:40,752 --> 00:05:44,114
See,

146
00:05:44,114 --> 00:05:45,264
it's winning you over!

147
00:05:45,264 --> 00:05:48,457
Now, shifting gears, CarPlay in iOS 26.

148
00:05:48,457 --> 00:05:52,021
It's like the dashboard just went
pro-redesigned with widgets,

149
00:05:52,021 --> 00:05:54,854
smarter navigation,
and compact call views.

150
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:58,441
You're on-screen,
visually controlled but distraction-free.

151
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:03,274
Even pinned conversations pop up subtly
in Messages while you're driving.

152
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:03,274
So,

153
00:06:03,274 --> 00:06:06,768
while you're trying to drive,
your widgets and pinned chats politely

154
00:06:06,768 --> 00:06:07,883
demand your attention?

155
00:06:07,883 --> 00:06:11,607
Let me guess,
they claim this is for "safety."Oh,

156
00:06:11,607 --> 00:06:12,304
come on!

157
00:06:12,304 --> 00:06:15,265
It's genuinely clean-you set what you
need upfront,

158
00:06:15,265 --> 00:06:17,087
and the interface helps you focus.

159
00:06:17,087 --> 00:06:21,499
Moving on, though-new Call Screening and
Hold Assist in iOS 26!

160
00:06:21,499 --> 00:06:25,470
Imagine avoiding unknown callers entirely
or getting notified right when

161
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:29,441
an agent picks up while you're on hold.

162
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:29,441
Call Screening sounds nice,

163
00:06:29,441 --> 00:06:30,474
but Hold Assist?

164
00:06:30,474 --> 00:06:34,259
That's just them admitting that long hold
times are now part of life.

165
00:06:34,259 --> 00:06:38,532
"Hey, we can make waiting slightly more
tolerable!" Still,

166
00:06:38,532 --> 00:06:41,733
it's a useful band-aid.

167
00:06:38,532 --> 00:06:41,733
Okay, valid criticism,

168
00:06:41,733 --> 00:06:44,171
but let's talk innovation over tolerance.

169
00:06:44,171 --> 00:06:48,606
iPadOS 26 roars in with an intuitive
windowing system.

170
00:06:48,606 --> 00:06:52,391
Resizable windows,
Exposé for organizing them all,

171
00:06:52,391 --> 00:06:54,330
and if you close or minimize something,

172
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:56,222
the system remembers where you left it!

173
00:06:56,222 --> 00:07:00,175
And Preview is here for marking up PDFs
directly.

174
00:06:56,222 --> 00:07:00,175
Ah,

175
00:07:00,175 --> 00:07:02,810
windows on an iPad finally behaving like
real,

176
00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:03,890
functioning windows.

177
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:05,271
Say it ain't so!

178
00:07:05,271 --> 00:07:08,731
About time,
but given Apple's gated ecosystem here,

179
00:07:08,731 --> 00:07:12,205
I hope the promised polish is actually
there.

180
00:07:08,731 --> 00:07:12,205
Polish is the name of the

181
00:07:12,205 --> 00:07:12,983
game, Finn.

182
00:07:12,983 --> 00:07:17,441
Oh, before we wrap this bit,
Journal-the app-now spans both iPad and

183
00:07:17,441 --> 00:07:17,870
Mac.

184
00:07:17,870 --> 00:07:19,891
Sync your deepest thoughts, drafts,

185
00:07:19,891 --> 00:07:22,805
or reflections seamlessly across both
devices.

186
00:07:22,805 --> 00:07:27,377
It's practically begging for creatives to
tear into it.

187
00:07:22,805 --> 00:07:27,377
So now my scattered

188
00:07:27,377 --> 00:07:29,757
notes and musings can sync wherever I go?

189
00:07:29,757 --> 00:07:33,681
Better hope people don't accidentally air
their "deeper thoughts" into

190
00:07:33,681 --> 00:07:38,309
public folders... but alright,
the potential sounds solid.

191
00:07:33,681 --> 00:07:38,309
There we go.

192
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:40,608
A touch of positive thought from Finn
Circuit,

193
00:07:40,608 --> 00:07:41,118
folks.

194
00:07:41,118 --> 00:07:43,359
Hold that moment tight,
because coming up next,

195
00:07:43,359 --> 00:07:47,306
we're unpacking how customization just
hit a new level-spatial widgets,

196
00:07:47,306 --> 00:07:50,406
3D wallpapers, and, yes,
transparent menus.

197
00:07:50,406 --> 00:07:53,367
This is where creativity heads next.

198
00:07:50,406 --> 00:07:53,367
Alright,

199
00:07:53,367 --> 00:07:55,921
so we teased spatial widgets-let's dive
in!

200
00:07:55,921 --> 00:07:58,290
These aren't just icons sitting on your
screen,

201
00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:01,529
but elements that anchor dynamically in
your physical space.

202
00:08:01,529 --> 00:08:05,616
VisionOS truly leans into blending
digital and real worlds.

203
00:08:05,616 --> 00:08:08,806
How futuristic is that?

204
00:08:05,616 --> 00:08:08,806
Anchor in your space?

205
00:08:08,806 --> 00:08:10,606
You mean they're just floating there,

206
00:08:10,606 --> 00:08:12,150
taking up virtual room?

207
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:16,423
Someone at Apple really leaned into the
sci-fi metaphor this year,

208
00:08:16,423 --> 00:08:18,655
didn't they?

209
00:08:16,423 --> 00:08:18,655
No, Finn, it's brilliant!

210
00:08:18,655 --> 00:08:21,430
You can literally decorate your
environment with widgets.

211
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:23,937
Whether it's clocks, photos, albums,

212
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:27,734
or curated playlists, they're dynamic and
completely rearrangeable.

213
00:08:27,734 --> 00:08:30,533
It's like your personal command center.

214
00:08:27,734 --> 00:08:30,533
Ah,

215
00:08:30,533 --> 00:08:34,074
nothing says productivity like turning
your Vision Pro into an interior

216
00:08:34,074 --> 00:08:35,142
design project.

217
00:08:35,142 --> 00:08:39,008
Makes me wonder though-does anyone
actually "decorate" their screens

218
00:08:39,008 --> 00:08:43,109
like this, or is it just a tech demo that
dies in a drawer?

219
00:08:39,008 --> 00:08:43,109
Hey,

220
00:08:43,109 --> 00:08:45,814
don't underestimate the appeal of
personalization.

221
00:08:45,814 --> 00:08:47,114
It's not just widgets.

222
00:08:47,114 --> 00:08:51,595
They're bringing 3D wallpapers that adapt
with light or depth on macOS

223
00:08:51,595 --> 00:08:53,732
and transparent menus across the board.

224
00:08:53,732 --> 00:08:58,315
It's like every inch of these devices can
now resonate with you.

225
00:08:53,732 --> 00:08:58,315
Resonate

226
00:08:58,315 --> 00:08:58,791
with me?

227
00:08:58,791 --> 00:09:00,544
More like distract me.

228
00:09:00,544 --> 00:09:04,887
I'm picturing menus blending so well with
everything they're unreadable.

229
00:09:04,887 --> 00:09:09,730
But hey, I'm sure it'll look great in a
YouTube unboxing video.

230
00:09:04,887 --> 00:09:09,730
C'mon,

231
00:09:09,730 --> 00:09:10,996
give Apple some credit here.

232
00:09:10,996 --> 00:09:13,585
They've added genuinely helpful tools
under the hood,

233
00:09:13,585 --> 00:09:14,015
too.

234
00:09:14,015 --> 00:09:18,206
Enhanced file management on
iPadOS-customizable folders,

235
00:09:18,206 --> 00:09:21,736
pinning frequently used items to the
Dock-it feels intentional,

236
00:09:21,736 --> 00:09:23,902
polished.

237
00:09:21,736 --> 00:09:23,902
Sure, when they're good,

238
00:09:23,902 --> 00:09:24,610
they're good.

239
00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:26,979
Streamlining file navigation?

240
00:09:26,979 --> 00:09:29,091
That's something I can get behind.

241
00:09:29,091 --> 00:09:34,848
But remind me why they needed years to
make features Windows had in 2007.

242
00:09:29,091 --> 00:09:34,848
Because

243
00:09:34,848 --> 00:09:36,636
this isn't Windows-it's Apple!

244
00:09:36,636 --> 00:09:39,143
Everything ties together seamlessly.

245
00:09:39,143 --> 00:09:41,570
And speaking of tying platforms together,

246
00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:43,811
how about the new Apple Games app?

247
00:09:43,811 --> 00:09:48,559
Metal 4 expanding graphical capabilities
with tools like frame interpolation,

248
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,462
plus support for PlayStation VR2
controllers?

249
00:09:51,462 --> 00:09:54,329
That's massive for gaming!

250
00:09:51,462 --> 00:09:54,329
Massive for gamers,

251
00:09:54,329 --> 00:09:54,770
maybe.

252
00:09:54,770 --> 00:09:57,789
But let's be real-how many people buy a
Mac thinking,

253
00:09:57,789 --> 00:10:00,831
"Oh yes,
can't wait to run Cyberpunk on this"?

254
00:10:00,831 --> 00:10:04,755
At least they're throwing gamers a bone
instead of pretending Macs are

255
00:10:04,755 --> 00:10:09,216
all about Excel sheets and Final Cut Pro.

256
00:10:04,755 --> 00:10:09,216
Mac gaming is leveling up-just

257
00:10:09,216 --> 00:10:09,715
admit it!

258
00:10:09,715 --> 00:10:12,048
Titles like Cyberpunk, Crimson Desert,

259
00:10:12,048 --> 00:10:14,312
even VR gaming-they're building bridges.

260
00:10:14,312 --> 00:10:17,656
And the PlayStation VR2 controller
support for Vision Pro?

261
00:10:17,656 --> 00:10:21,694
That's pulling console-grade gaming into
the future.

262
00:10:17,656 --> 00:10:21,694
Ah yes,

263
00:10:21,694 --> 00:10:26,536
the future where your $3, 500 headset
lets you play games instead of just

264
00:10:26,536 --> 00:10:27,511
watching movies.

265
00:10:27,511 --> 00:10:30,634
At least console support is a step
forward,

266
00:10:30,634 --> 00:10:34,141
instead of Apple doing everything
in-house and making their own clunky

267
00:10:34,141 --> 00:10:37,111
controllers.

268
00:10:34,141 --> 00:10:37,111
You're finally stepping into my world,

269
00:10:37,111 --> 00:10:37,587
Finn!

270
00:10:37,587 --> 00:10:41,673
Between these enhanced gaming features
and the customizable aesthetics,

271
00:10:41,673 --> 00:10:45,260
Apple's kind of teaching us how to take
our tech spaces personally.

272
00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:47,362
Whether you're a gamer, professional,

273
00:10:47,362 --> 00:10:49,800
or just love micro-optimizing your system,

274
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,473
it's all there.

275
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,473
Or they're teaching us how to spend way
too much time

276
00:10:53,473 --> 00:10:55,099
tweaking wallpapers instead of,

277
00:10:55,099 --> 00:10:57,235
I don't know, actually being productive.

278
00:10:57,235 --> 00:11:02,007
Still, I'll give them this-the gaming and
visionOS tie-ins show they're

279
00:11:02,007 --> 00:11:04,782
thinking ahead,
even if it's all sitting on a shiny,

280
00:11:04,782 --> 00:11:07,617
glass pedestal.

281
00:11:04,782 --> 00:11:07,617
See, you're starting to believe!

282
00:11:07,617 --> 00:11:11,947
And honestly, this all makes sense-these
customization tools and integrations

283
00:11:11,947 --> 00:11:15,117
are, like, a building block for the next
era of AI-driven,

284
00:11:15,117 --> 00:11:17,694
personalized tech.

285
00:11:15,117 --> 00:11:17,694
Back to AI, huh?

286
00:11:17,694 --> 00:11:21,723
I guess next you're going to tell me how
Apple's genius algorithms are

287
00:11:21,723 --> 00:11:26,365
powering all these magical
transformations behind the scenes.

288
00:11:21,723 --> 00:11:26,365
Exactly!

289
00:11:26,365 --> 00:11:30,080
But hold that thought-because we're
diving into Apple Intelligence next:

290
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,830
transforming everything from translations
to design with privacy-first

291
00:11:33,830 --> 00:11:34,259
AI.

292
00:11:34,259 --> 00:11:36,302
You do not want to miss this.

293
00:11:34,259 --> 00:11:36,302
Alright,

294
00:11:36,302 --> 00:11:39,507
Finn, as we teased-Apple's algorithms are
making moves,

295
00:11:39,507 --> 00:11:41,434
and this is where the magic comes to life.

296
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:46,171
Apple Intelligence is reshaping user
experiences with AI-driven

297
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:46,171
transformations.

298
00:11:46,171 --> 00:11:49,910
From translating languages
mid-conversation to designing on the fly

299
00:11:46,171 --> 00:11:49,910
with

300
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:55,016
Image Playground, it's like having a
genius assistant on your device 24/7!

301
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:55,016
Genius

302
00:11:55,016 --> 00:11:55,911
assistant, huh?

303
00:11:55,911 --> 00:11:59,475
Back in the '90s, we'd have settled for a
search function that didn't

304
00:11:59,475 --> 00:12:02,145
crash when you typed more than five words
into it.

305
00:12:02,145 --> 00:12:06,873
But, sure, tell me about this Live
Translation wizardry.

306
00:12:02,145 --> 00:12:06,873
Oh,

307
00:12:06,873 --> 00:12:07,778
it's amazing!

308
00:12:07,778 --> 00:12:11,958
Say you're on an international FaceTime
call-Live Translation kicks in

309
00:12:11,958 --> 00:12:13,735
and converts everything on the fly.

310
00:12:13,735 --> 00:12:18,228
Text, audio, captions-it's seamless and
all on-device for privacy.

311
00:12:18,228 --> 00:12:20,793
This isn't 1990s bloated software,

312
00:12:20,793 --> 00:12:22,587
Finn!

313
00:12:20,793 --> 00:12:22,587
Seamless, huh?

314
00:12:22,587 --> 00:12:26,638
You think this would've helped me when I
was working an IT job in Germany,

315
00:12:26,638 --> 00:12:30,690
stuck trying to explain network issues to
a non-English-speaking client?

316
00:12:30,690 --> 00:12:34,986
Back then, my "solution" was a breaking
out a phrasebook that didn't

317
00:12:34,986 --> 00:12:38,514
include "firmware update" in the
glossary.

318
00:12:34,986 --> 00:12:38,514
Exactly!

319
00:12:38,514 --> 00:12:40,418
That's what I mean-it's solving real,

320
00:12:40,418 --> 00:12:42,287
everyday problems, whether it's work,

321
00:12:42,287 --> 00:12:44,377
travel, or just connecting globally.

322
00:12:44,377 --> 00:12:46,606
Apple Intelligence lives in the
background,

323
00:12:46,606 --> 00:12:48,452
making those interactions effortless.

324
00:12:48,452 --> 00:12:51,343
Don't even get me started on Genmoji and
Image Playground.

325
00:12:51,343 --> 00:12:55,279
You can literally invent emojis or
generate custom visuals in seconds.

326
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,382
It's creativity unleashed.

327
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,382
Unleashed creativity,

328
00:12:58,382 --> 00:12:58,730
huh?

329
00:12:58,730 --> 00:13:03,293
Sounds more like a way to flood my
messages with even more emoji trains.

330
00:13:03,293 --> 00:13:08,633
But I'll say this, Between-it does sound
more useful than drawing stick

331
00:13:08,633 --> 00:13:13,357
figures in MS Paint.

332
00:13:08,633 --> 00:13:13,357
It's way beyond that-Image Playground
uses AI for

333
00:13:13,357 --> 00:13:14,448
style and rendering.

334
00:13:14,448 --> 00:13:17,932
Like, say you have a photo and want it
reimagined as an oil painting

335
00:13:17,932 --> 00:13:20,010
or anime scene... boom!

336
00:13:20,010 --> 00:13:20,846
Done.

337
00:13:20,846 --> 00:13:25,142
Developers even have access to foundation
models so they can layer this

338
00:13:25,142 --> 00:13:26,651
magic into their own apps.

339
00:13:26,651 --> 00:13:30,413
Every corner of Apple's lineup is tapping
into this intelligence!

340
00:13:30,413 --> 00:13:33,564
It's... transformative.

341
00:13:30,413 --> 00:13:33,564
Transformative,

342
00:13:33,564 --> 00:13:37,500
sure-if your idea of transformation is
turning tech into a Swiss army

343
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:37,860
knife.

344
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:41,401
But I'll give them the credit; when Apple
bakes features across their

345
00:13:41,401 --> 00:13:43,119
ecosystem, they stick.

346
00:13:43,119 --> 00:13:45,662
As long as they keep AI out of your
toaster,

347
00:13:45,662 --> 00:13:48,664
I might even approve.

348
00:13:45,662 --> 00:13:48,664
Do I hear actual approval?

349
00:13:48,664 --> 00:13:49,489
I'll take it!

350
00:13:49,489 --> 00:13:53,320
And listen, all of this circles back to
one thing: privacy.

351
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,619
Apple's running these features on-device,

352
00:13:55,619 --> 00:13:58,661
no cloud prying into your translations or
creations.

353
00:13:58,661 --> 00:14:01,018
AI that actually respects your data?

354
00:14:01,018 --> 00:14:05,953
That's groundbreaking.

355
00:14:01,018 --> 00:14:05,953
Yeah,
privacy in today's world feels like trying

356
00:14:05,953 --> 00:14:07,497
to keep water in a colander.

357
00:14:07,497 --> 00:14:08,949
But it's a good pitch.

358
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:12,269
At least it doesn't come with the fine
print of "all your data belongs

359
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:15,081
to us." Small victories, I guess.

360
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:15,081
See,

361
00:14:15,081 --> 00:14:19,203
that's why Apple's approach
works-intelligent design that respects

362
00:14:15,081 --> 00:14:19,203
users.

363
00:14:19,203 --> 00:14:23,824
From macOS supercharged Spotlight to
Workout Buddy giving real-time coaching,

364
00:14:23,824 --> 00:14:26,134
their ecosystem is practically alive now,

365
00:14:26,134 --> 00:14:28,349
working for you.

366
00:14:26,134 --> 00:14:28,349
Alive?

367
00:14:28,349 --> 00:14:30,334
Let's not give it too much of an ego.

368
00:14:30,334 --> 00:14:32,227
But yeah, I'll admit, there's...

369
00:14:32,227 --> 00:14:34,351
coherence in their vision.

370
00:14:34,351 --> 00:14:36,615
A little too shiny and a little too
perfect,

371
00:14:36,615 --> 00:14:40,003
but... coherent.

372
00:14:36,615 --> 00:14:40,003
And on that possibly positive note,

373
00:14:40,003 --> 00:14:41,919
I think we've covered all the big updates.

374
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:45,216
Apple is shooting for a world where
devices adapt to us,

375
00:14:45,216 --> 00:14:46,528
not the other way around.

376
00:14:46,528 --> 00:14:50,875
Honestly,
it feels like the future is here.

377
00:14:46,528 --> 00:14:50,875
Or we're just previewing the

378
00:14:50,875 --> 00:14:52,570
tech bubble of 2025.

379
00:14:52,570 --> 00:14:56,727
Either way, it's been an interesting ride
through this year's Apple changes.

380
00:14:56,727 --> 00:15:00,299
Let's see if they deliver as much as they
promise.

381
00:14:56,727 --> 00:15:00,299
Agreed.

382
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:02,899
And with that, folks,
we're wrapping up another episode.

383
00:15:02,899 --> 00:15:06,614
Apple's laying down some big moves-only
time will tell how far they can

384
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:09,052
push this vision of seamless,
intelligent tech.

385
00:15:09,052 --> 00:15:12,201
Thanks for tuning in,
and we'll catch you next time.

386
00:15:09,052 --> 00:15:12,201
Yep.

387
00:15:12,201 --> 00:15:15,939
Until then, try not to let your Liquid
Glass gadgets outshine you.

388
00:15:15,939 --> 00:15:16,787
Cheers.
