"Vibe coding" (prompting LLMs without looking at the code) feels like a Vegas slot machine—instant gratification. But production systems eventually expose every shortcut. Scalability, security, and architecture still require real engineering. martiancraft.com/blog/2026/07...

We're excited for Apple's future, but this WWDC was also bittersweet seeing Tim's last keynote as CEO. Apple has advanced so much under Tim and we thank him for his service to the Apple and Apple Developer communities. #WWDC2026

That's a wrap for #WWDC26. We're excited to see what Apple has in store for Developer Tools (including Figma and GitHub AI support) that we will learn about in the Platforms State of the Union. Developer betas are available today!

Being able to describe a shortcut and have it built by the Shortcuts app will be beneficial for so many users. Apple continues their thoughtfulness with automation on their platforms with this feature. We still miss Automator though. #WWDC2026

The personal context awareness of Siri AI will be very useful for many users, allowing content to be surfaced from across all of the built-in Apple Apps. It remains to be seen if third party apps will be able to surface data into Siri. #WWDC2026

We at MartianCraft have been working for more than 2 years at integrating Apple Intelligence and AI models into customer apps to accomplish some amazing end products. Get in touch today to learn how we can help integrate AI for you: martiancraft.com/contact #WWDC2026

Apple moving to Google Gemini models for Foundation Models means that iOS 27 is boosting the performance of on-device and private cloud compute models. This means that apps already integrating with Apple Intelligence will get a boost when iOS 27 is available. #WWDC2026

Apple is taking complex parental control software that previously was either expensive or unavailable on iOS devices, and putting it into the hands of parents everywhere. #WWDC2026

Apple has consistently been at the forefront of technology and health. This takes a new turn in iOS 27 as Apple works to make their devices safer for children and teens, improving digital health. Things like what kids can see, do, and interact with on their devices is controlled. #WWDC2026

Apple continues to show off their silicon prowess with the ability for iOS to run on iPhone 11 and up. The hardware and software integration is unprecedented, and this industry standard makes other platforms look like they abandon users prematurely. #WWDC2026

Seeing Apple take user criticism and feedback to heart with this release is much appreciated. Liquid Glass now looks better, fixing a lot of inconsistent issues, and should ensure that apps look and perform better across iOS and macOS. #WWDC2026

The years in which Apple has focused on bug fixes and enhancements instead of big new features have always ushered in the most popular OS releases. While it's not flashy and sexy it's absolutely welcomed. #WWDC2026

As expected, this years releases will be a ‘Snow Leopard’ year with refinements to make the platform more stable, and introduce security improvements. Plus we will see Apple’s late promised Intelligence features. #WWDC2026

Tim's last keynote reminds us of Steve's last keynote. We remain confident that Apple will remain the driving force of consumer friendly tech for many years to come. #WWDC2026

It’s almost time for #WWDC26. Above all else, we’re hoping Little Finder Guy finds his way into Apple’s UI strategy.

“It’s almost time for #WWDC26. Above all else, we’re hoping Little Finder Guy finds his way into Apple’s UI strategy.”

#WWDC26 is almost here! Beyond the standard iOS 27 / macOS 27 drops, the biggest story for developers is the rumored Siri overhaul. If Siri turns into an AI orchestration layer across apps, AppIntents will become a critical new surface area overnight. martiancraft.com/blog/2026/06...
