WWWe’ll see
It's WWDC week. Sory/not sorry for all the Apple news. Oh, and Nokia…
It was WWDC time, so this newsletter is unashamedly packed with Apple-related news, but stay with me… It’s in-depth!
Personally, I am looking forward to these “26” releases, but let’s hope that, unlike last year, Apple delivers. Maybe it was Apple trying to distract us, but I had a general feeling of people not caring too much about the lack of AI features, or that Apple resolved themselves to being the host and not always having to be the creator of said features.

An Oral History of ‘Snake’ on Nokia

Apple quietly makes running Linux containers easier on Macs | ZDNET
Often, amongst the glitzy large announcements from WWDC are the small ones that only matter to a small group of people, but have a significant impact on them. One is this improvement to running Linux containers, which makes macOS even better for developers. Those who care know!
You Go to Squircle Jail
I make no apology for a lot of WWDC content in this issue, but much of it is quite light and basically regurgitates press releases. Not so much the ATP lads, who go into a lot of helpful detail on upcoming features.
macOS 26 Tahoe is coming
And another, from one of my favourite Apple bloggers…
Nobody wants a robot to read them a story!
One of my main worries in the sea of creative minds bemoaning that AI will kill their meagre livelihoods is that the average person on the street just doesn’t care. This is a classic example of this, the headline says “Nobody wants…”, unfortunately, I am not sure how true that is.
