While we await proper details about the "on device" #AI models that #Apple mentioned during the macOS segment of the #WWDC keynote, here is what I am most excited about from Apple's 2026 operating systems.

Cross-OS features:
- #LiveTranslation (finally)
- #Polls in the #Messages!
- #HoldAssist? TBD

#macOS
- #Spotlight actions (with #QuickKeys)
- #Clipboard history
- New #Shortcuts (and "Intelligent actions")
- Custom folder colors!
- Now with the #Phone app!
- More control center customization

#iPadOS
- See post above
- Mac's red-yellow-green window control buttons
- Also getting the Phone app!

#watchOS
- The #WristFlick gesture? We'll see.
- Configurable #widgets? Maybe.

My current workflows probably won't benefit from
- the "liquid" or "glass" aesthetic
- a #WorkoutBuddy (no more voices talking to me during workouts, please)
- the #Games app
- anything #tvOS, #visionOS, #emoji
