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

I mean, this feels like way more than usual and stuff that's pretty recent, right?

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

Like the first Apple Watch Ultra isn't supported.

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

Um, like that, that's not something, right?

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

Like that's really, uh, something's up here.

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

And I, I think AI is probably the reason I assume there's probably some sort of Ram limitations here.

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

Um, there's also this interesting thing where there's like two tiers of Apple intelligence and you have to have enough Ram to get the better tier.

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

Um,

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

But this is rough.

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

I mean, listen, I personally, I bought an M1 iPad Air this time last year so that I could test the betas out.

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

And I have to get rid of it now because it's not supported.

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

And those, yeah, it was a few years old at the time when I bought it, which was a good deal.

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

You know, I expected it to last for a few more years because Apple is like famously good at supporting operating system updates for years and years and years.

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

And it was this funny thing where, you know, Google and Android for the longest time were a disaster.

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

and then even when they started saying, you know, when they started saying, oh, we're going to do five years, we're going to do seven years, it was interesting because the defense, you know, Apple didn't have these promises of, oh, five years, seven years, whatever.

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

But it was like, oh, but they do it anyway.

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

They don't need to promise it.

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

They just do it.

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

And here it's like, oh, like, when did the Apple Watch Ultra come out?

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

I don't... Like, it wasn't that long ago.
