I agree. The big government fans around here really need to consider what the courts are forcing Apple to do. And it's a muddle of a mess of illogical thinking. X-Box can continue to have a store that is run by Microsoft. Streamers can decide what movies it allows on their services, but Apple has no power to oversee it's platform...weird...

Seriously? With only like 2 national grocery chains, and the airlines are a near monopolistic mess - they want to get app stores under government oversight? Thanks conservatives. I mean, really getting more app stores will make the world so much better. BTW the oil industry and most of the auto industry acts in protected and monopolistic ways with auto manufactures denied the ability to sell their own vehicles to make sure middlemen can scoop up profits.

WAIT!! Isn’t Apple being forced to give up their device control to whomever wants it? Why do car makers get a walled garden? 

I think that's a great POV. I want AI to help me, not a new app to fire up. I want common sense things, help me find photos without having to tag them all. ETC. That's the win. 

Apple didn't need to be in an AI rush except for their worry about 'the stock price.' No consumers are clamoring for it. Build something good that solves real issues for day to day life and that's the win. Using AI to find photos without having to tag your photos is a pretty, pretty, pretty good use for AI smarts. As for WWDC 25, sort of boring. I'm not sure if something fell through or they knew for the past 2 years that 2025 was sort of a big bug fix year. iPad OS updates are good news. Love my iPad and look forward to utilizing apps in expanded ways.
