Threads is the most fun, most interesting new product of the year, and no one in the E.U. can use it, or will be able to use it anytime soon, because their own elected officials passed a law that effectively bans it.

Nice job. Have fun over here in the library.

Student: Why?

Teacher: We're not allowed to tell you. But that act of defiance led to a movement for equal rights.

Student: Rights for whom?

Teacher: We're not allowed to tell you.

It’s hard to express how excited I was to get to tell all of you today about what’s in Safari 16.4 beta 1 and iOS & iPadOS 16.4 beta 1 for Home Screen web apps. This represents many, many months of work by some really amazing people, all across Apple. It’s built on foundations that took years to create, especially things like Focus — which let us get the experience of Web Push just right. I am so proud of our team. And feel lucky every day I get to work with them.
