June 12, 2026 • LIMac General Meeting • Review of Apple's WWDC by Bradley Dichter
Traditionally June is the month Apple holds its World Wide Developers Conference, and this month is no exception. Our Technical Advisor Bradley Dichter, says, “Most notably for LIMac, the Keynote will be Monday, June 8th … .” And, of course, “Bradley will be taking [copious] notes.” He anticipates the “focus will be on Apple Intelligence and a new contextual Siri with chatbot capabilities seen throughout macOS 27, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27 and visionOS and tvOS 27. He also says you can, “… expect a smarter Siri” [as a new app] “ with personal context, where Siri can see what’s on the screen of your iPhone. Siri will get the chatbot experience like you see in ChatGPT or Claude.” Bradley also thinks there will be some improvements to Liquid Glass. In addition he feels there will be some hints about the iPhone Fold and MacBook Ultra. Finally, he thinks there is, “… an interesting reveal about Apple’s future moves.” [Apple] “will be getting a new CEO soon, so this should hint at that new engineering led Apple.”

When Bradley finishes his WWDC summary, he’ll take a deep breath and direct our always-popular Q&A session, where you can bring your questions and get clear, helpful answers.
Next we’ll take care of some club business, and, as always, the meeting will close with Donald’s Member Appreciation Raffle, with a chance to win an Apple Gift Card as a thank-you for being part of the LIMac community.
This promises to be an exciting, information-rich meeting, so settle in and take a look into Apple’s future!

 You’re Invited to the MacBasics SIGIn order to meet the needs of a wider range of members and not put off those with more than beginning skills, we’ve changed not only the name from Beginner SIG, but also the focus of our SIG. We will still cover applications like AppleWorks and simple procedures like setting up your first Mac, file systems and using utilities, but we’ve also matured, as much of Apple’s software and hardware has. So come on down. We'll be where we’ve always been, doing what we’ve always done, but with a new slant and a new name. The MacBasics SIG is led by Geoff Broadhurst and Rick Matteson. The SIG meeting is broken into two sessions. The first is from 7:00 to 7:30PM, during which we will have our own basic level question and answer session. We’ll break for the featured presentation and raffle and come back for the main portion of our SIG meeting from 8:30 to 10 o’clock. Of course before our MacBasics main demonstration we'll have our own novice Q&A session across the hall, while Bradley's dealing with the more complicated problems in the main room. As always come with questions. The MacBasics SIG is not just for beginners, but we do discuss aspects of the Mac that may sometimes be overlooked. There will be a MacBasics SIG meeting this month. The topic has not been announced. |
