Mayo, how has your WWDC week been? Oh, it's been great. I sat back from the comfort of my home, loaded up the keynote, followed along, typed away. Do you watch it on the couch? I do it at the desk because I'm doing like blog posts and stuff right at the same time. Yeah. I have, when I watch it, I've watched it twice, the second time I watch it on the sofa. Okay.

And I do notes in the notes app.

But when we're doing it on the Monday, because I'm doing like blog posts and stuff, I do it at the desk. Do you want to know where I watched it from? Well, I presume it was from the Apple Park chairs. From inside the beautiful Apple Park. But I will say the chairs, the chairs that they make you sit in while you watch the keynote, not particularly comfortable. In typical Apple fashion, they're like this gorgeous wood. It looks like it's all made from like one part. They looks just stunning. But in terms of comfort, I think they could do like a little bit better. But that's made up for by the fact that you're staring at like one of the most beautiful structures ever made, which is Apple Park, just gorgeous inside.

And I was watching it next to Stephen Robles, which is, that was a great time.

He's a great guy.

It's been a bunch of time with him.

And you know, one of the benefits of watching from Apple Park is that we get a little like intro before the actual video that you all at home don't get to see.

This year, so in past years it's usually been Tim and Craig coming out and just saying, oh, we love developers.

We love developers.

Welcome to Cupertino, all that.

This year, Craig came out by himself first and did like this really sweet, this really nice, like, intro, thanking Tim Cook for his time at Apple because this is Tim Cook's last WWDC. And then he said, the man, the myth, the living legend, Tim Cook. And then Tim walked out. Standing ovation from everybody in the crowd, even press, developers, Apple employees.

One really nice thing that I couldn't see from where I was sitting, but I saw it in some up-close

videos that people posted. Tim was wiping tears from his eyes. He was clearly very moved by

the appreciation, the ovation and all of that from everybody in attendance.

I thought that was a really cool experience because I wasn't sure how much they would lean into it being Tim's last, not just his last WWDC, but presumably his last keynote.

Yeah.

Period.

So I thought they did it in a really tasteful. Yeah, because in the video, they mention it like he has a little segment at the very end, right? But otherwise, it was kind of, if you didn't watch the last like minute, you wouldn't have known. They didn't do a, here's John Turner's taking over. You know, there was none of that. Yeah. Turner wasn't in the video at all. So, yeah, I was interested going into it.

I thought, I thought they were going to not ham it up, but like have something a bit more. Like, because if you watch the video, you could almost watch the whole video and not know that it's Cook's last appearance. Because he does like celebrate his time at Apple at the end, but he doesn't explicitly say, this is it, you know. or like, I thought they were going to end with like,

and we can't wait to be back in the full with, you know, handing the keys over to John Turner's like something a bit more direct, but they kept it very subdued and very quiet. Well, Apple would never acknowledge ahead of time that they're ever going to do another keynote or another new product to announce ever again. So they, of course they wouldn't do that. Yeah, but they do it in some way. It'd been like, yeah, no, I get it. I thought the joke at the end was going to be like, Cook closes the door and like, passes that literally hands over some metaphorical keys or something to turn, you know, like do it a bit more directly, but they, they avoid that altogether. And the emotion, which, you know, because we only watch the pre-recorded video,

we don't really get to see, but it's kind of amplified,

but there was a story over the weekend that German did,
