The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC26) kicks off June 8.
It's Tim Cook's last big event as CEO, and the company is expected to use the occasion to present a complete overhaul of Siri, the voice assistant that's been built into every iPhone since October 2011. Starting with iOS 27, Siri is expected to look a lot more like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude.
Tim Cook is approaching retirement, and it is obvious he cannot hold this position indefinitely.
Tim has led the company since 2011 and helped it grow from a $350B company to a $4T giant. However, they are currently having a problem and are stagnating even in AI.
Reviewers largely praise Apple for polished design, easy-to-use software, strong performance, battery life, and an ecosystem that makes devices work smoothly together. Privacy, stability, and quality come up often, and some users say Vision Pro and Apple Silicon noticeably improve real work. Founders of Nativeline, Typeahead, and Purifai also credit Apple’s Swift, Apple Silicon, and native frameworks for fast, private, on-device experiences. The main complaints are high prices, a closed ecosystem, limited upgrades or repairs, and outdated base RAM options.
It's already 2026, but 8GB of RAM is a significant drawback. But in return, we have a price that fits our budget. For an office worker with basic features and no need to perform heavy tasks on a laptop, this is a great deal. Not to mention, it has a color I like (blush) and truly impressive battery life
