We are the ones you can trust.

The Vergecast

They've been doing this for a very long time, but I think especially at this moment, Apple is sensing the backlash to AI, this increasing sense among young people that they would like to be off of their devices.

The Vergecast

Never mind, I think it was V who said in the live blog that like, gosh, it's weird that Apple feels that way given that they're literally called iPad kids.

Like, it's Tim Robinson in the hamburger suit being like, we're all trying to figure out who did this.

The Vergecast

And even given all of that, I think Apple is...

The Vergecast

If Apple is serious about this idea of we need to give people more tools to responsibly use their devices, particularly kids, I think that's great.

The Vergecast

I don't think Apple shipped that much here.

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

Like they talked a lot about principles, Jake, but they didn't give us that much new stuff.

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

As they were going through it, it was really, really difficult to figure out what already existed and what they were projecting that they might do in the future and what was actually shipping this year.

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

Because I don't think it was that much.

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

There were a couple new things that did seem like they were going to be really useful.

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

They allow scheduling in screen time now.

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

And I thought the most interesting thing that they...

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

sort of talked a lot about but didn't do a ton with is they're going to give expert recommendations about how much screen time you should allow for different types of apps.

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

I think that's like actually pretty interesting as a direction for them to go.

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

Now, do you trust Apple on how much you know your kitchen use their phone?

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

I you know, that's what to see what recommendations they come up with.

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

They probably want me to your phone a lot.

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

But

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

Yeah, that's it.
