But like, if you look at the content on X or on Grok, it's like, does some of this violate the app store's rules?

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

Obviously.

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

Is Apple going to get more heat for removing it or for leaving it there?

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

Yeah, I think we this is again, it's this is sort of the it's a question that comes up a lot in the what will John Ternus do as CEO kind of universe right now, because the Tim Cook has been a person who has tried to walk a lot of lines and make a lot of people happy and has not taken a lot of what I would call very strong stances about much of anything.

This has been coming up a lot in the comments on the live stream too, which is Apple is...

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

kind of deliberately or otherwise treating the the 27 operating systems as like a real hardware dividing line uh it is dropping support for a huge number of um of apple watches it's dropping support for a lot of older macs when it comes to especially like the the series stuff that is just

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

sort of a much larger set of devices being left behind for this rev of the software than I think we're used to.

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

Oh, yeah, right.

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

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

A lot of old iPads are being dropped, too.

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

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

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

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

Jake, were you surprised here at the sort of sheer number of devices being left behind?

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