It would be really helpful it if #Xcode could help you write and evaluate JavaScript in a multiline string in Swift (for use with a #WKWebView), maybe even with syntax highlighting.

I'm surprised this wasn't a thing a long time ago.

Whoa. This is interesting. I'm not on the Tahoe Beta so I wouldn't have seen it, but I wonder what else will be reverted/fixed in #macOS26 #iOS26 #iPad26 #visionOS26 during this beta period.

WWDC INTERVIEW: Craig & Joz on Why Siri's Not Ready, AI Vision and iPadOS Shocker!
Apple's Craig Federighi and Greg "Joz" Joswiak sit down with Mark from Tom's Guide and Lance from @techradar to unpack some of WWDC 2025's biggest reveals, and they don’t hold back. From the truth of the Siri reboot delay to Apple Intelligence’s bold vision and the surprise of iPadOS stealing the show, this interview covers it all. We ask the tough questions: πŸ€– Why is Siri still not ready? 🧠 How is Apple Intelligence evolving the iPhone experience? πŸ“± Did Apple just turn the iPad into a Mac (without saying it)? Whether you're curious about what it'll take to get Siri ready, the philosophy driving Apple’s approach to AI, or the design secrets behind liquid glass β€” this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. 0:00 - WWDC 2025 0:13 - Apple Intelligence and Siri 5:24 - New Siri? 6:16 - Apple Intelligence isn't a ChatBot 12:53 - Apple Intelligence Features 15:14 - Visual Intelligence 19:25 - Developer access to local models 20:51 - Liquid Glass 26:22 - Streamlining apps 29:56 - iPadOS 38:45 - What should you buy? iPad or Mac 41:40 - Vision Pro and VisionOS #wwdc2025 #ipados #tomsguide Videos β€’ Reviews β€’ Tech Insight SUBSCRIBEβ†’ http://bit.ly/toms_YTSub TikTokβ†’ https://bit.ly/3anpZzo Xβ†’ http://bit.ly/Toms_Twitter Facebookβ†’ http://bit.ly/Toms_Facebook Instagramβ†’ http://bit.ly/Toms_Instagram WWDC INTERVIEW: Craig & Joz on Why Siri's Not Ready, AI Vision and iPadOS Shocker!
