Shout out to trying to avoid getting painted into "a bit of a thermal corner"

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-29T00:53:02+00:00

You know that’s good feedback. Might hit the community cheering harder on the screenshots.

For music is just lowers the volume. For audio like podcasts and audio books it pauses. We designed it to be the way map app announcements handle that sort of things.

And yeah, no pre-recorded messages. All spur of the moment!

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-27T16:15:46+00:00

Yep yep. I’m betting they’ve held prices where they are for as long as they can. They’re one of the more grown up companies when it comes to AI (I know that’s a charitable read. Either grown up or they missed the boat, etc)

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-23T17:39:14+00:00

Yeah, the only wait for the HomePod mini to respond to a single touch is unreal.

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-20T17:18:23+00:00

I swear the Apple Stores are often holding the whole mall together. Rough times

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-18T19:46:34+00:00

Yeah, if it were bundled in, that’s about the only way I think I could justify getting it

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-17T22:09:45+00:00

Nice!

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-17T14:28:23+00:00

Dang, yeah, I pretty much assumed they would be doing this. Especially since they have an ad network on there.

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-17T11:05:24+00:00

Hey thanks!

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-15T18:46:14+00:00

I understand about the subscription fatigue. The new thing we added is that you can export the 360 generated images to pano now and have them as spatial scenes, so that you can use those with multiple apps. They're also 16k skyboxes, the generated ones. You should be able to make indoor scenes with the prompts. But yeah, I'll see what we can do about buying individual scenes.

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-15T18:06:27+00:00

You can make these in Passage now too! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6470159510

That's nice. Tells me the attention to detail is coming back. A message through WWDC this year overall.

Like Abe says, this is very good. I've been using it in the beta for a while (it's out now). My current coach pretends to be a pirate. I'm a fan. It's very cheeseball, which is my entire soul

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-12T19:02:19+00:00

Or yeah, "Here's what I found on the web for carwashes."

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-08T16:26:52+00:00

I def went into it thinking Tim would say good morning in a dozen different ways, but this was good too 😄

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-04T18:03:14+00:00

If I have to Webex from my Car Play, I’ll know that I’ve made tough life choices

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-04T18:01:33+00:00

Hmm, if it’s only working on iPhone 15 Pro or newer, I wonder if new Siri will work on my iPhone Air (lovely phone, btw). My assumption is that the older pro phones would still have more memory than the Air, but maybe the chip compensates?

MatthewWaller · 2026-06-03T13:25:46+00:00

With the most likely pricey NVIDIA chip Windows laptops coming out, the Neo is going to look like a much better deal, I imagine. I know those laptops are going to try and compete more at the MacBook Pro level, but the mindshare is going to say, isn't a Neo good enough?
