The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

It's a 3D orb that like glows or wiggles or something.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And they're like, you can put it wherever you want.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

You can just, you just look at it and start talking to it.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And that was my favorite part.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That's true.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Yeah, it was.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Yeah.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

But the thing is, if you're Apple, there's nothing else you can do.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

You can't do...

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

physical character because that's been tried a bunch of times and it always gets weird and creepy and people, you know, do sex things with it.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

You can't do Clippy.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Clippy's ruined.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

You can't just do lights because that's what they've been trying to do and that didn't really work.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

So it's like you at some point, all that's left is gelatinous orb.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And I think we are in the like gelatinous orb era of AI products.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

It's how you get out of the terrible, uncanny valley of all of this stuff.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I do think, I think it's sort of silly and overly physical on Vision OS.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I love the visuals on the iPhone.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

They showed a bunch, but like the new thing where instead of being sort of the light all the way around and then it's, the UX is not super obvious.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Now it's like it all just sort of exists.
