We’re two days post-WWDC, and my brain’s still buzzing. This isn’t a keynote recap — it’s a deep dive into why Apple’s “liquid glass” aesthetic signals something bigger. Think beyond the frosted UI — think spatial interfaces, contextual computing, and the death of the traditional app.

What if the era of “learning the tool” is over, and we’re entering a time when tools learn us?

I unpack Apple’s slow-burn philosophy, my long-held vision for a post-app world, and why these new design cues are shaping more than just your phone screen — they’re nudging the whole paradigm of computing forward.

👉 If you’re interested in how AI agents, spatial design, and user-centric computing collide — this one’s for you.

TL;DR (Takeaways)

• Apple’s UI shift hints at a post-app world, not just visual polish.
• Liquid Glass = prepping for spatial computing, not skeuomorphic nostalgia.
• Traditional “tools” are giving way to agents that understand and work for us.
• This isn’t just design — it’s the architecture of a new computing mindset.
