0:00.0 | So kind of a hodgepodge week, Mayo, this episode, kind of, we got some follow-up on the iOS 26 stuff, some new details, some couple corrections to issue, I suppose, about things we got wrong. |
0:10.4 | It's all follow-up from the event. I mean, we did a, what, three-hour video, three-hour podcast last week, and we missed out on loads of stuff because it just wasn't covered in the keynote. Like, if they didn't have a |
0:21.3 | liquid glass redesign ready to go, a lot more of those bento box feature slides they would have |
0:26.5 | just talked about in more detail, right? Yeah. There's been, there's pretty good stuff hidden |
0:29.6 | away that they just didn't even get a second mention in the video, but obviously we'd be using |
0:33.7 | the baiters for a week now and stuff has come up all over the shop. So a couple of the things |
0:39.2 | that we said weren't in the first betas are actually there. So there's visited places in Apple Maps. |
0:46.8 | This is the feature that's meant to work in the background and keep a log basically of all the |
0:52.2 | places you go. With the example use case being you go somewhere, you have lunch. |
0:58.0 | A couple months later, you're back in that city, and you can't remember where you have lunch. |
1:02.3 | Okay, great, I'll open Apple Maps, go to visited places, and see it right there. |
1:06.8 | This is in iOS 26, Beta 1. |
1:09.8 | It's in library. |
1:11.8 | Then you tap on visits, and it discloses right off the bat that it's a beta because it very much is a beta. |
1:18.8 | In my testing, it is impressive the number of things that it gets right. |
1:25.6 | So I had a very busy weekend. Emily's parents were in |
1:28.8 | town. So we were popping all over Baltimore, going to restaurants, going to the park, going |
1:33.3 | shopping. It got some of the locations right, but it also put some random things, some random |
1:39.4 | places where we didn't go. So it says we went to a place called Duda's Tavern. We did not go to Dutus Tavern. |
1:45.4 | And I'd never heard of Dutus Tavern until I checked my library. |
1:51.2 | But then I look at the map and Dutus Tavern is right next to where we parked when we went to another spot in that area of the city. |
1:59.5 | So I don't know what like the algorithm is for how it's trying to keep track of where you go. |
