This is Twit. This is Mac Break Weekly, episode 1025, recorded Tuesday, May 19th, 2026. Below the Plimsall Line. This is Mac Break Weekly. Uh time to talk all the Apple news. Jason Snell is here from sixcolors dot com. We're starting a little late. Thank you for your patience, Jason.
It's uh you know, it's always on time when it's podcast time.
Podcast clock. We're using the podcast clock. Uh Andy Naco also here, like uh us. We I'm sure you were watching the Google I.O. keynote, which is I think a preview of what we're gonna see in a couple of weeks from Apple, but we'll find out. Also with us Christina Warren, developer relations at GitHub. Hello, Film Girl.
Hello.
Did you watch I imagine you did. Your old boss was uh was on stage there.
He was. He was. A lot of my old m old team. Um was it was exciting to uh to see all the stuff that they announced and uh good good for them, right? It was it was a good event.
I feel like yeah. So I guess we could kick off with that a little bit. I mean, we're gonna be talking about how this will affect Siri on the iPhone, because as we know, the Apple's gonna use uh Gemini uh for Siri. So they announced a new Gemini model, which I presume Apple will get. This is all you know, it's gonna be really interesting to see what Apple says on June 8th at WWDC. Yeah.
Especially since a lot of the stuff that they showed off today, I wouldn't say steps on the toes of some of the rumors that we've been hearing about uh about uh iOS twenty seven, but uh lends credence to the stuff we've been talking about for a while now, which is like if you're if whatever AI that you subscribe to at twenty bucks a month is doing the stuff where you say, Hey, whoever it is, uh prepare me for this meeting and make sure you get the latest data and create a table that we can. send to all the everyone who's going in there and do that 20 minutes before the the meeting starts and it can make that happen. Nobody's gonna care whether that happens off off of an Apple logo or a Google logo, as long as they're not the ones who have to pay for the tokens to make it happen.
Well that was my uh that was kind of my reaction to this is you know, this would work just as well on an iPhone and it made it anywhere else. You don't really need to have a special Siri To do this.
Al although it's I mean the the the failure uh not failure, but the the difference is that as always, every demo that they showed off, and they showed off a lot of really impressive, actually live actual live fire working stuff. But all of that assumes that what is your inbox? Well, it's great if it's gonna be Gmail. Okay, where are all your files and documents? Be great if it's g if it's Google Drive and and and uh and Google workspace.
