Hello and welcome to another episode of App Stories. I'm John Forhees and with me is Federico Vitechi. Hey, Federico.

Hello, John. Hi. How are you? I'm doing great. I'm doing

great. I think you and I both had our first truly relaxing weekend in a while, in a while.

In a while, in a while. I went out for lunch on Saturday. A Saturday lunch hasn't happened in

months. So that was nice.

Yeah, we went out for a nice dinner the other night,

which I'll mention on MaxRoy's On Wine,

because there's an Italian angle to it.

Okay.

So today, though, on App Stories,

we have a few things to talk about.

We thought you suggested that we talk about things we'd like to

see Apple do yet in 2025. Now, these are not predictions necessarily about what we think Apple's going to do.

And it's more what we actually want from Apple in 2025. So we'll, we should just dive into it, I think, Federica. Yeah. Yeah,

I go first. I want to see obviously in 2025, and I think it's going to happen. I want to see

iOS 26.1 for a couple of reasons. The first item in my list is that I want to see Apple refine liquid glass now that

iOS 26 has been out for people. And I don't know about you, John, but I've kind of got a mixed

reaction from people, like sort of all over the place. Some people say, oh, the new design is very

cool. Some people say, ah, the new design, I don't like it. And most people in

real life telling me, is there a new design? Because I didn't really notice it. So I don't know.

I kind of want to see where Apple lands with liquid glass now that it's out for people, now that

they're hopefully getting more feedback from users. Like, what's the vision for liquid glass beyond this initial debut?
