Liquid Glass, Spotlight, and the rest of WWDC 2025 | The Vergecast

From The Verge.

Apple spent 90 minutes talking about the future of its software, and we’re pretty sure only said the word "Siri" once. Nilay and David are joined by The Verge’s Victoria Song and Allison Johnson, both of whom were with Nilay at the keynote, to talk about all the news of the day. They talk about the Liquid Glass design language, and why Apple decided to redesign all its software. They talk about Spotlight on the Mac, the new multitasking features on the iPad, the typing indicators on the iPhone, Workout Buddy on the Watch, personas on the Vision Pro, and everything else that Apple announced — or, in a few cases, pointedly didn’t announce — on stage. We’re just starting to try out some of this software, and it’s all likely to change a lot before it hits your devices this fall. And we’ll have lots of thoughts along the way. #Vergecast #Podcast #WWDC
