SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
With WWDC26 just around the corner, The Trio burns off some Google I/O feelings before getting to the speculation they actually care about. Steve breaks down why AI-slopified search might be quietly destroying the Web's economic model, Aaron wonders what any of these agentic tools actually do right now, and Kotaro lays out a case for why this might finally be the year Siri stops being a punchline. Also: Xcode Pro is coming. Probably. Apple, please don't.

## Show Notes
- Google I/O 2026 went all-in on AI, with Kotaro noting the near-total absence of Kotlin, Jetpack, and Flutter talks at this year's developer sessions.
- Gemini 3.5 Flash launched as the new "affordable" model and turned out to be significantly more expensive than its predecessor.
- Steve takes apart Google's AI search redesign, arguing it quietly destroys the economic model that funds the Web, including Google's own ad revenue.
- Aaron's deadpan verdict on Google's AI search demos: "the only thing it showed was it generating these giant slop docs. Who wants to read those?"
- Kotaro and Aaron speculate that WWDC26 could bring more dynamic, context-aware widgets, ones that are smarter about timing and context than the current static rectangles.
- The Trio agrees the headline WWDC feature is a Siri that actually understands intent, with Shortcuts workflow building as a hopeful bonus.
- Kotaro floats an "AppleClaw" style personal assistant via iMessage, letting developers submit agentic tasks to an Xcode Cloud backend.
- The folding iPhone question comes up: does it run iPadOS, iOS, or something in between, and how will apps scale across the form factor?
- Steve expects Apple to plant HomeOS seeds at WWDC, APIs and features that will only make full sense once a HomePod-with-a-screen arrives later in the year.
- The Trio caps the WWDC wishlist by accidentally inventing Xcode Pro, Apple's inevitable premium developer subscription tier.
