The hosts return to break down WWDC's biggest surprises, from iOS 12 performance boosts to unexpected developer concerns.

The episode begins with the hosts announcing their return to discuss Apple's WWDC conference, focusing on the keynote from the previous Monday. They start with iOS 12, noting performance enhancements that reportedly make beta versions faster than iOS 11.4, and highlight Apple's effort to extend support to older devices like the iPhone 5s, potentially giving it a six-year lifecycle. The hosts explore new iOS features, including Group FaceTime for 32 people, which they praise for its convenience, and Screen Time, which they debate as a tool for managing smartphone addiction. They express skepticism about ARKit's practical applications, citing examples from games like Guns of Boom and professional uses like IKEA instructions. The discussion shifts to Siri shortcuts, emphasizing their potential despite Siri's lack of Polish language support, and CreateML, a machine learning library that simplifies model training for developers. They critique Memoji as a proof-of-concept for AI technology rather than a useful feature. Moving to macOS Mojave, they appreciate the dark mode and new Finder features but note these are incremental updates. The hosts discuss the ability to port iOS apps to Mac, which could expand the Mac app ecosystem but might impact native Mac developers. For WatchOS 5, they mention features like walkie-talkie and activity competitions but question their relevance in Poland. TV OS updates include Dolby Atmos and cable network support, though availability in Poland is uncertain. The episode concludes with a brief mention of Apple Pay's impending launch in Poland and a wrap-up of the weekly format.
