Steven Scott, Shaun Preece, Shelly Brisbin, and Carrie Morales break down Apple’s WWDC 2025. From Apple Intelligence to the controversial “liquid glass” design, they dive deep into what works, what doesn’t, and what it means for accessibility.

In this WWDC 2025 roundtable, Steven, Shaun, Shelly, and Carrie share their unfiltered reactions to Apple’s latest announcements. Shelly and Carrie provide low vision perspectives on the new "liquid glass" design, raising accessibility concerns. The team critiques Apple Intelligence, comparing it to Gemini and other AI models, and questions its real-world impact.

They also explore major OS updates including iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and iPadOS enhancements like native window support. Features such as hold assist, live translation, visual intelligence, and workout AI on Apple Watch spark lively debate about functionality and user experience. Shelly also highlights accessibility challenges likely to emerge with dynamic UI elements.
