Craig and Joz - The Interviews (Now including a roasting from Joanna Stern)

[tomtad]

Worth watching, seems they really were pissed at Gruber

 

[i-Liam]

Federighi should have got the boot from apple years ago. iOS has been awful on his watch, and the iOS 26 abomination for me is the final straw.

Steve Jobs would have cleared house.

 

[Rogifan]

Love Craig. Joz does nothing. Why is he even at these interviews?

 

[tomtad]

This is hilarious, has them both looking like naughty school kids. Bet they wish they'd stuck to some softball questions from Gruber

 

[HouseLannister]

It wasn't vaporware. I just can't show it to you and you will never get to see it because we scraped it and started over with something new. Don't look behind that curtain!

Federighi is a marketing delight for Apple but a lousy leader. Everything has gone south quality and reliability wise under his leadership. As complex as the structure is in practice, after all these years he needs to be held accountable. Liquid Glass is a precursor to future products so I am somewhat excited by a more opinionated design ethos. It needs a ton of refinement, but at least some are thinking forward in there and trying to evoke a new direction. The call backs to the Forstall/Serlet/Tevanian era of Apple in iOS 26 make me smile (The tortoise/hare graphic in speed controls in Apple Podcasts, the Camera app icon, the Aqua vibe in certain areas). Someone remembers “the crazy ones.”

[HouseLannister]

Liquid Glass is a precursor to future products

Nilay of The Verge: "The hard rule of reviews at The Verge is that we always review what’s in the box...We never review products based on potential or the promise of software updates to come."

Good philosophy.

 

[Macbookey]

Liquid glass doesn’t promise anything unlike Apple Intelligence. It is just my observation. Those 2 clowns need to be taken to task more often if you ask me.
