Partway through WWDC 2025, I started tracking every time I heard the word “delightful.” I might have missed a few, but there were at least eight times when some exec was insisting to me that an element of the upcoming iOS 26, macOS Tahoe and Apple’s other platforms merited the adjective. And maybe some people truly do feel unfettered joy about UI design, but that’s the sort of attitude in these events that makes me roll my eyes.

Apple always tries very hard to inject levity and personality into its keynotes. Most of the time, that winds up leaning on cringe from Craig Federighi, who seems quite affable about being the punchline. Sometimes I smirk a little, but again, more often than not, it’s another eye-roll. That was the case this year, as Apple bludgeoned us with a tie-in for its upcoming F1 movie, which already leans pretty hard on product placement.

Then there’s the developer devotion. Yes, Apple needs devs to use its tools and programs. Yes, the company can and should give them some kudos. But sometimes, the adulation that I’ve heard heaped on the WWDC audience in the past is so cheesy, so over-eager that it flies way past sincerity and into schlock.

Just as I was ready to turn off the stream, the curtain rose on a grand piano. And to my surprise, the final three minutes of a full band performing real reviews of apps became the actual highlight of WWDC for me.

This isn’t an original idea. Reviews, good and bad, are well-mined fodder for comedians and social media content. Jimmy Fallon, James Corden and others have made musical gags a staple of recent late night talk shows. But the way Apple decided to do it this year was, in a word, delightful.

Each review was heartfelt or dopey or both; see “saved my marriage” for Citymapper and “If this doesn’t win best app of the year, I’ll eat my shoe” for Lost in Play. It took the essential internet wisdom of “don’t read the comments” and turned it into gold. This silly little song managed to do everything Apple wants to do at WWDC in a really amusing package. It’s the dev props, it’s the splashy production, it’s legit entertainment.

For anyone who, like me, was actually humming the tune even after the stream ended, the video is up as a standalone on YouTube and was performed by soul/R&B singer Allen Stone. And to whatever producer came up with this idea: you have my utmost appreciation. Six out of five stars indeed.

According to Bloomberg, several major Chinese AI companies, including Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent, have temporarily disabled certain chatbot features during the gaokao college entrance exams to prevent cheating. “Popular AI apps, including Alibaba’s Qwen and ByteDance’s Doubao, have stopped picture recognition features from responding to questions about test papers, while Tencent’s Yuanbao, Moonshot’s Kimi have suspended photo-recognition services entirely during exam hours,” adds The Verge. From the report: The rigorous multi-day “gaokao” exams are sat by more than 13.3 million Chinese students between June 7-10th, each fighting to secure one of the limited spots at universities across the country. Students are already banned from using devices like phones and laptops during the hours-long tests, so the disabling of AI chatbots serves as an additional safety net to prevent cheating during exam season.

When asked to explain the suspension, Bloomberg reports the Yuanbao and Kimi chatbots responded that functions had been disabled “to ensure the fairness of the college entrance examinations.” Similarly, the DeepSeek AI tool that went viral earlier this year is also blocking its service during specific hours “to ensure fairness in the college entrance examination,”according to The Guardian. The Guardian notes that the news is being driven by students on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. “The gaokao entrance exam incites fierce competition as it’s the only means to secure a college placement in China, driving concerns that students may try to improve their chances with AI tools,” notes The Verge.

In damn that’s huge but still much smaller than the real thing news, this is a video of Youtuber Ramy RC flying an absolutely massive model airplane version of a Boeing 777X. The incredibly realistic replica measures 10 meters (33-feet) long and has tons of features of the actual plane. From the footage and sound of it flying you’d swear it was the real thing. But what’s its payload capacity? Asking for a guy who wants to catch the next flight to the corner store for a Slim Jim and some lotto scratchers.

Finally, at WWDC 2025, Apple has done what I’ve been asking for for years. In addition to Liquid Glass, iPadOS 26 finally gives the iPad a proper, Mac-style window management system. You can now have multiple windows on the same screen, complete with a menu bar! And there are more features, like the Preview app, background tasks, a better Files app, and more.

A real windowing system for the iPad

Credit: Apple

A real window management system is coming to the iPad, and it has nothing to do with the more limited Stage Manager feature. By default, apps on iPad will still be full screen. But now, they’ll have a grab-handle on the side that lets you resize the window down to a smaller size, then move that window around the screen. Revealing your screen will bring up the dock, and you can have multiple windows on screen at once. You can even open any app you had previously opened, and it will resume its latest state, with the exact same size and position on the screen. Just like on Mac!

And yes, real window management means also means the iPad is getting Mac-style traffic-light buttons for closing, minimizing, and making apps full screen. When you hover on these buttons with the new, smaller cursor pointer, they will automatically expand.

Just like the Mac, there’s also a tiling feature, where you can simply grab and flick a window to the left or the right to dock it to either side. Additionally, you can swipe up to open the Home Screen and then open any app you want. Yes, again, very much like on Mac.

The Mac features don’t stop here. Apple is also bringing in Mac-style Expose. If you swipe up and hold, all your windows will spread out in one single view, making it easier to switch between them.

The menu bar is here

Apple is also adding a Menu bar to the iPad, finally putting an end to all the hidden gestures and menus. It’ll pop up when you take your cursor to the top of the screen. It’s arranged to be similar to the Mac’s Menu bar, and will show all your app’s features and options in one place, with keyboard shortcuts, too. This will be a great option for complex apps.

Upgraded files management

The iPad Files app is finally getting the upgrade it deserves. There’s a new List view with a lot more detail for each file and folder. Even the folder icon customization feature from Mac is coming to the iPad.

Plus, the Files app now lets you choose a Default app for each file type. Folders can be added to the Dock for easier access. And just like on the Mac, tapping on your Folders will make them fan out to show all the files inside them.

Preview comes to the iPad

Credit: Apple

Preview is a dedicated app for viewing, annotating, highlighting, and filling in PDFs. Plus it works for images, too, just like on the Mac.

Not just limited to the iPad Pro

All iPads that support iPadOS 26 will get access to the windowing system, including the new standard iPad and the iPad mini.

According to Apple, the new features in iPadOS 26 will be available for iPad Pro (M4), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later), iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), iPad (A16), iPad (8th generation and later), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad mini (5th generation and later).

How to try iPadOS 26 now with the developer beta

If you want to try out iPadOS 26 before the official release, the only way to go about at the moment is using the Developer beta. Know, though, that the Public beta, which will roll out sometime in July, is a more stable option, and is probably best for most people. The Developer beta might be buggy and could be prone to crashing.

If you want to try it out regardless, first sign up for an Apple Developer account (it’s free, though you’ll need to use two-factor authentication). Next, go to Settings > General > Software Update and then tap the new Beta Updates option. Here, switch to iPadOS 26 Developer Beta. Now, go Back, wait for the Beta update to show up, and tap Update Now.

A few weeks ago, the chief executive of Blue Origin, Dave Limp, convened an all-hands meeting for the more than 12,000 employees at the company. Among the most critical items he discussed was the launch rate for the New Glenn rocket and how the company would fall significantly short of its goal for this year.

Before 2025 began, Limp had set expectations alongside Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos: New Glenn would launch eight times this year.

However, since the rocket’s mostly successful debut in January, five months have passed. At one point the company targeted “late spring” for the second launch of the rocket. However, on Monday, Limp acknowledged on social media that the rocket’s next flight will now no longer take place until at least August 15. Although he did not say so, this may well be the only other New Glenn launch this year.

Every year, Apple releases new versions of iOS and iPadOS, and most years those updates also end support for a handful of devices that are too old or too slow or otherwise incapable of running the new software.

Though this year’s macOS 26 Tahoe release was unkind to Intel Macs, the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 releases are more generous, dropping support for just two iPhone models and a single iPad. The iOS 26 update won’t run on 2018’s iPhone XR or XS, and iPadOS 26 won’t run on 2019’s 7th-generation iPad. Any other device that can currently run iOS or iPadOS 18 will be able to upgrade to the new versions and pick up the new Liquid Glass look, among other features.

Apple never provides explicit reasoning for why it drops the devices it drops, though they can usually be explained by some combination of age and technical capability. The 7th-gen iPad, for example, was still using a 2017-vintage Apple A10X chip despite being introduced a number of years later.

Apple announced a number of new features today during WWDC, and some of them might seem familiar—probably because you’ve seen them elsewhere before. It’s a particularly bad day for the team at Raycast, a widely popular Spotlight replacement that Mac power users know well. A number of that application’s best features—from an AI integration to searching menu bar items to triggering custom actions inside applications—are now offered in Spotlight as of this fall’s macOS 26.

But Apple didn’t just grab ideas from people building useful applications for their own ecosystem. They also tasked their world-class engineering and design teams to copy features from competing products built by other tech behemoths. There’s the call-screening feature and hold-assist features, both of which have been offered on Google’s Pixel phones for years. There’s the live translation feature, already available on Samsung Galaxy Phones. And there’s the circle to search feature, which is already available on Android. Apple’s unique vision and attention to detail made it possible to offer these features years after they were available elsewhere.

The Messages app will now mirror the backgrounds and polling features from Whatsapp and Telegram, allowing you to put pictures behind your conversations in yet another place. Only Apple could deliver this kind of seamless experience (with the possible exception of the other applications that offered them years ago, of course).

Steve Jobs himself once said, “Good artists copy; great artists steal”—a saying that he may have borrowed from Pablo Picaso (at the very least, the sentiment dates back to the 1800s). I supposed it’s true that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and these features are good ones—plus, some amount of copying, tweaking, and reinventing of ideas is inevitable in this space.

Although AirPods were just a side attraction at the WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple announced a couple of features that make the headphones a lot more useful. The company announced that you can now use your AirPods as a camera remote, and that AirPods will soon be getting “studio-quality” audio recording. These features are coming to the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 4, and the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation.

Using your AirPods as a camera remote

The camera remote feature is exactly what the name suggests—a way to control your phone camera from a distance. Apple is planning to let you use your AirPods as a shutter button for your iPhone or iPad. Once this feature releases alongside iOS 26 this Fall, you’ll be able to use the button in the AirPods’ stem to take photos, or start and stop video recordings. Apple says that you can press and hold the AirPods stem to take photos or toggle video recordings (depending on what mode your camera app is in). This could be great for taking group photos, creating TikTok videos, or for captures that require you to place your iPhone or iPad at an awkward angle. Apple said this feature will also be coming to third-party camera apps, too.

Studio quality recording for AirPods

During the keynote, Apple also revealed that studio-quality recording is coming to the same three AirPods models. The company said an upcoming firmware update will allow creators to record “studio-quality vocals” using their AirPods, and Voice Isolation is also being improved to further enhance voice quality. Apple is pitching the AirPods as a quality mic for podcasters, singers, and content creators, although I’ll remain skeptical of its abilities until I see this feature in action. 

The improved AirPods mic quality will work with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and it’ll support both Apple’s own and third-party apps. Apple promises more natural voice texture and quality across iPhone calls, FaceTime, and CallKit-enabled apps. The company attributed this to the H2 chip on the AirPods, beamforming microphones, and computational audio. 

The US Air Force is moving closer to authorizing SpaceX to move into one of the largest launch pads at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with plans to use the facility for up to 76 launches of the company’s Starship rocket each year.

A draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) released this week by the Department of the Air Force, which includes the Space Force, found SpaceX’s planned use of Space Launch Complex 37 (SLC-37) at Cape Canaveral would have no significant negative impacts to local environmental, historical, social, and cultural interests. The Air Force also found SpaceX’s plans at SLC-37 will have no significant impact on the company’s competitors in the launch industry.

The Defense Department is leading the environmental review and approval process for SpaceX to take over the launch site, which the Space Force previously leased to United Launch Alliance, one of SpaceX’s chief rivals in the US launch industry. ULA launched its final Delta IV Heavy rocket from SLC-37 in April 2024, a couple of months after the military announced SpaceX was interested in using the launch pad.

Apple unveiled iPadOS 26 at its Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday, introducing what appears to be the most significant productivity overhaul in the tablet operating system’s history. The update brings dynamically resizable windows that users can drag by their corners, a menu bar accessible through swipe gestures or cursor movement, and Expose for viewing all open windows in a tiled array.

The new windowing system allows users to seamlessly close, minimize, resize, and tile app windows while maintaining the iPad’s touch-first interface. When users reopen apps, windows return to their last position and size. The menu bar, a longtime Mac staple, provides access to familiar commands like File, Edit, and View through either touch or trackpad controls.

Apple is also enhancing the Files app with resizable columns and collapsible folders, while bringing the Preview app to iPad for the first time with PDF editing capabilities and Apple Pencil support. The update introduces Background Tasks for computationally intensive processes and new audio features including Voice Isolation and Local capture for video calls.

Apple‘s WWDC 2025 keynote is already in the rearview mirror, and, as usual, the event was dominated by the changes coming to the iPhone’s operating system later this year. The reports of a numbering scheme change were true — iOS 18 is skipping to iOS 26 — but there were a laundry list of actual usability changes shown off, as well as the new Liquid Glass design, which looks to be Apple’s largest visual update in years. But the biggest question we’re all wondering: Will my iPhone be able to run iOS 26?

Last year, Apple didn’t nix any iPhones from its eligibility list, but that’s not the case for 2025 — a few models are getting cut this time. All iPhone 8 models and the iPhone X were the last to get the boot in 2023, and this year the 2018 models are getting left behind. If you have an ineligible device, you won’t be able to download iOS 26 when it becomes available this fall.

We’ll get to the bottom of which iPhones will support iOS 26 this year. To see what’s coming with the latest OS and more, here’s everything announced at Apple’s WWDC event today.

These three iPhones won’t be compatible with iOS 26

Unlike last year, several iPhone models won’t be eligible to download the newest iOS when it makes its debut this fall. This trio of models first released in 2018 won’t be coming to the iOS 26 party:

• iPhone XR

• iPhone XS

• iPhone XS Max

iPhones compatible with iOS 26

While we don’t yet know the new iPhones Apple will be dropping this fall — though there are iPhone 17 rumors — we do know, per Apple’s site, that the phones listed below will be compatible with iOS 26. Basically, if you have an iPhone that was announced in 2019 or later, you’re in the clear:

• iPhone SE (second generation or later)

• iPhone 11

• iPhone 11 Pro

• iPhone 11 Pro Max

• iPhone 12

• iPhone 12 mini

• iPhone 12 Pro

• iPhone 12 Pro Max

• iPhone 13

• iPhone 13 mini

• iPhone 13 Pro

• iPhone 13 Pro Max

• iPhone 14

• iPhone 14 Plus

• iPhone 14 Pro

• iPhone 14 Pro Max

• iPhone 15

• iPhone 15 Plus

• iPhone 15 Pro

• iPhone 15 Pro Max

• iPhone 16e

• iPhone 16

• iPhone 16 Plus

• iPhone 16 Pro

• iPhone 16 Pro Max

What if I don’t want to buy a new iPhone?

If you want to continue using your older iPhone that isn’t supported by iOS 26, that’s fine. However, you’ll miss out on security updates which could potentially put your phone at risk for malware and other threats. Additionally, some apps may stop working if they require a certain version of iOS or later. And of course, you won’t be able to access the latest features iOS 26 offers.

When will iOS 26 become available?

Apple usually rolls out its latest iOS in mid-September, just a few days before the new iPhones hit store shelves. Last year, it released iOS 18 on Monday, Sept. 16. Expect a confirmation of the release date at that iPhone 17 event, expected in early September. 

iOS 26 features we’re excited about

Liquid Glass design: Your home screen is getting revamped with new app icons, including dark mode and all-clear options. You’ll also notice buttons with a new floating design. Liquid Glass was designed to make all of Apple’s OSes more cohesive.

Phone app redesign: You’ll finally be able to scroll through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages all on one screen. It also comes with a new feature called Hold Assist that’ll notify you when an agent comes to the phone so you can avoid the elevator music.

Live Translate: iOS 26 is bringing the ability to have a conversation via phone call or text message with someone who speaks another language. Live Translate will translate your conversation in real time. 

Polls feature: Coming to group messages in the Messages app, chat members will be able to create polls. This can help prevent the unwanted 30+ messages when it comes to deciding which restaurant you’re meeting at this weekend.

I admit, I do most of my work on Windows or Android, but if there’s one app I always miss from macOS, it’s Preview. This simple app, ostensibly an image-viewer, is also hands-down the best way to read and even (sometimes) edit PDFs. And at WWDC 2025, Apple announced that Preview is finally coming to iPads.

It’s hard to overstate how much joy this relatively minor announcement brings me. Sure, Apple is breaking down the language barrier, and bringing resizable windows to the iPad. But is all of that a fair trade if you still have to open the Books app just to read a three-page PDF? No, not if you ask me. May as well still be in the stone age.

Used on a Mac, Preview is extremely lightweight and doesn’t come with a lot of editing tools, but the ones it does come with are fantastic: You can extract a single page from a PDF, or reorder pages in a long document. It’s the kind of thankless utility that doesn’t get much fanfare but comes in truly handy when you need it.

I don’t think I’m exaggerating (too much) when I say this is the single biggest revolution in mobile computing since the invention of the touchscreen.

I’m on my second summer of running in a long-sleeved sun shirt—yes, even in the hottest weather. Especially in the hottest weather. I now enjoy my summer runs a lot more, and I spend a lot less money on sunscreen. I even managed to snag a Rabbit UPF Deflector hoodie before they sold out this year, and it’s even better than the Amazon sun shirts I started with.

If you’re not entirely sold on wearing long sleeves in the heat, know that at first I wasn’t either. I knew that other people ran in sun shirts, but I never thought running in a sun shirt was for me. Instead, I coated my arms, neckline, and back in sunscreen, and cringed during my run as it mixed with sweat and turned into a gross, drippy slime. I sometimes missed a spot, and enjoyed patches of sunburn on my shoulder blades. Just comes with the summer running territory, right? Not if you wear a sun shirt!

I don’t recall exactly why I bought my first one, but it was probably a “what the hell, this can’t get any worse” kind of thing. It wasn’t a fancy one. Everybody on Reddit says to get a that Rabbit hoodie, but it wasn’t in stock when I went looking. Instead, I ended up getting this UPF 50+ rashguard from Amazon for under $30, and a second shirt I didn’t end up liking as much. I started wearing them on my runs. Two years later, here’s what I’ve learned.

What are sun shirts for, and do they really work for runners?

Sun shirts have one main job: They protect you from UV rays (doing the same job as sunscreen). The good ones also wick sweat, which can end up keeping you cooler than if you were running without the shirt. 

When it comes to UV protection, they definitely work. Dermatologists, including those at the American Academy of Dermatology Association, actively recommend wearing sun-protective clothing, in addition to seeking shade and using sunscreen. When you’re out on a run, shade may not be an option, and you’ll still need some sunscreen to cover your face and hands. But when it comes to your torso and arms, a sun shirt offers some pretty significant advantages over slathering on sunscreen: 

• You can’t miss a spot, as you might when you’re trying to get sunscreen on the back of your arms and shoulders.

• You don’t need to reapply (as much) sunscreen on long runs, which can feel nearly impossible when you’re sweaty.

• You won’t have to deal with sunscreen sweating off or working its way across your skin (which is the main reason we need to reapply, anyway).

• If you use a spray sunscreen like I sometimes do, you won’t have to deal with its sticky feel, and the fact that you’re supposed to rub it in anyway.

• You’ll go through far less sunscreen each year—a pretty significant savings if you have sunburn-prone skin like me. 

Aside from these objective points, the thing that really sold me was just that I hate the feeling of that suncreen-and-sweat slime dripping down my arms. It’s gross, it gets on everything, and I do not want it. 

What it feels like to run in a sun shirt (a lot less sweaty)

I wore a sun shirt for the first time during a sweltering heat wave. I try to run in the evening or morning when it’s cooler, but no matter the time of day, the humidity was ridiculous and the wet bulb temperature was oppressively high. 

I put on the shirt for an evening run first, sunscreened only the parts of me that weren’t covered (face, hands, lower legs), and ventured out. On balance, I don’t think I was hotter or cooler than I would have been without the shirt, but the slime situation was much improved. The shirt also absorbed and (sort of) wicked away my sweat. On the one hand, that means I’m running in a damp shirt. On the other: no dripping. 

Intrigued, I wore a shirt again for a sunnier morning run, and had a similar experience. In a real show of how much I trusted these things, I even wore a sun shirt for the time I planned poorly and ended up having to do a midday run in 93-degree weather (don’t worry, I carried ice water and stayed safe); it worked well then too. On one of these runs, I noticed a light breeze, so I peeled off the shirt as I finished the run. The breeze on my skin felt nice and cooling, but it was more like a nice treat than regret that I’d been wearing the shirt in the first place. Safe to say I’m now a convert.

I did have one further “aha” moment. On one of my runs, I noticed that the shirt was long enough that it bunched up a bit around my hips. That extra fabric wasn’t doing me any favors, so I got out a pair of scissors and cropped the shirt just below my waistline. Now I get a bit of a breeze on my torso, while still keeping my skin out of the sun. 

What to look for when buying a sun shirt

Any clothing marketed to runners tends to be expensive, although to be fair, it’s often lighter weight or better quality than bargain-basement stuff. Still, you don’t have to just search for “running sun shirt.” Also consider looking for “long sleeved wicking shirt,” “UPF shirt,” or even “rash guard” (a rash guard being a long sleeved shirt worn for surfing). 

The ideal running sun shirt will have most or all of these features: 

• A UPF rating (like SPF, but for clothing) – the higher the number, the better.

• Wicking or “cooling” fabric.

• A high neck or even a hood, to protect your neck and/or head.

• Thumb holes, which means longer sleeves, the better to protect your hands.

• Lightweight fabric—beware the rashguards that are designed with thicker swimsuit-type fabric.

• A moderately loose fit (although this is up to preference). If you normally buy from the women’s section, consider the “men’s” styles too—you might prefer the way they fit.

Sun protection experts tend to recommend colors that are dark (black, blue) or bright (red, yellow) rather than white or pastel. That’s because darker colors absorb more ultraviolet rays. Personally, I haven’t been able to convince myself to get a dark color when the shirts are available in white and pastels. Maybe black is more sun protective, but I’m worried it will be hotter. (This may be a “me” problem, so if you’re looking for good advice, listen to the dermatologists.)

After running all last summer in sun shirts made for surfers, I finally picked up that Rabbit hoodie I mentioned. It cost a lot more—$70 for Rabbit versus $30 or less for the cheap ones I’d used in the past. The material on the Rabbit shirt is much lighter weight, and it has laser-cut holes at the armpits for venting. It also has a hood with a built-in visor (the better to cover your neck and the sides of your face) and, as a bonus, a zippered pocket at the side. Unfortunately, besides being expensive, it also sells out quickly. I bought mine in April; as I write this in June, most sizes seem to be already sold out for the season. As an alternative, I’ve heard good things about Outdoor Research’s Echo line.

With all that in mind, here are some sun shirt options, in a variety of styles and price ranges, that fit the bill. If you aren’t totally sold yet, start with a cheaper one and see how you like it. You might just join me in the less-slimy runners club.

Apple’s new macOS Tahoe release isn’t the end of the road for Intel Macs, but it sends Apple’s clearest signal yet that it’s nearly finished with the Intel Mac era. The macOS 26 update will support just four Intel Macs, all released in 2019 or 2020, and it entirely drops support for all Intel versions of the MacBook Air and Mac mini.

Other models that run the current macOS 15 Sequoia release that won’t support macOS Tahoe include all 15-inch MacBook Pros, all 13-inch MacBook Pros with two Thunderbolt ports, and the 4K and 5K versions of the 2019 iMac.

The compatibility list for macOS 26 Tahoe.

Apple has generally been pulling support for new macOS releases from Intel Macs more aggressively than it was in the mid-to-late 2010s, giving most systems six-ish years of new macOS releases followed by another two years of security updates. Some models fared better than others; for example, Intel MacBook Air models have been getting dropped more aggressively than MacBook Pros.
