Hi, I'm live at the San Jose WWC event.

We're in the media room, so it's kind of a little bit noisy but taking a minute

out between sessions and briefings to do a recap of what's going on.

So it's going to be a little bit noisy but I hope you'll bear with us and this is going to be an interesting conversation.

Let's talk about some of the things that we saw today.

Well, starting this show with iOS, what's happening, one of the biggest problems that we've had in the past release,

they did a lot of work and redid a lot of things with the UI for iPads last year.

So this year there's a huge focus on performance and making things really work well.

But one of the most strategic things

with series shortcuts, the ability to create workflows and assign a voice prompt to it so it kind of

launches a either a specific task or a series of tasks. It's also something a

developer can do. They can set up a common task so that you can assign a voice thing to it.

So I think that's kind of important because it gives Siri something that reliably works.

One of the problems with Siri we've seen in the past is people don't really know what can do.

It just kind of advertises that can do everything.

And so you try a variety of things and some of them don't work.

Some of that don't work as expected.

And it's frustrating and people kind of stop using it.
