From The Verge.

Developer conference season is almost over, but we’ve got one show left to see: Apple’s WWDC begins on Monday. Nilay, David, and Joanna Stern spend time going through both what they expect to see at the show, and why this year’s WWDC might feel a bit different than in years past. Apple is in a tricky place with regulators, developers, and users alike, and has some genuine explaining to do. After that, they talk about the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, and David’s surprisingly easy adventure to acquire one. We also have a bit of smart glasses and AI gadgets news to discuss, so we do that too. Then it’s time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, and an update on a couple of the interesting new fediverse projects launching this week.
