The Talk Show Live From WWDC 2024 is now up at YouTube. Special guests Craig Federighi, Joz, and mostly aptly for this year, John Giannandrea (Apple’s head of machine learning and AI). Fantastic audience at the California Theatre in San Jose. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed hosting.

@gruber Whenever Apple begrudgingly does anything to purportedly comply with the DMA, I think back to Craig F.’s unscripted, emotive, pained, surprised, plaintive “really?” in response to modest applause for the DMA. It seemed inconceivable to him that Apple’s most devoted users would like some of the changes required by the EU, such as alternative app stores and link outs for payment information. It’s as if there’s no debate: DMA bad, Apple good.

@skDC I know what you mean. But I understand Federighi’s perspective too. The people cheering the DMA think that the DMA mostly goes after Apple on the App Store. And these people hate how Apple runs the App Store. So they cheer.

But Federighi is intimately familar with the actual scope of the DMA. Which affects Apple far beyond the App Store. (E.g. no Apple Intelligence in the EU yet.) So Federighi can’t believe that they anyone who appreciates what Apple does could support the DMA.
