All right, we have a few big news items this week.

Certainly the biggest one right now is Apple's keynote at WWDC 26.

Just went on this Monday, and boy, do I have some thoughts.

I'm going to save some of those thoughts.

for a Cycles Hype No More newsletter issue later this week.

I don't want to go too far into the weeds on it here, but I'll share my impression, which I already shared on social media as a reaction, which is that I thought this was...

The worst keynote ever.

I mean, probably not.

If you look back throughout the entire history of Apple, long before Steve Jobs 2.0, the dark, dark days of the 90s, I'm sure there were some real stinkers.

I'm sure there were some Apple keynotes in there that were quite bad.

But this one was bad, folks.

It was really bad.

And I just couldn't help but feel when Tim stepped out on camera in Apple Park and said, good morning.

I couldn't help but feel like I'm so glad.

I'm so glad that this is Tim Cook's last keynote.

Oh, my gosh.

He is so, like, he's done, man.

He's done.

I just, I know that he accomplished a lot of good things at Apple.

I know Apple's come out with some really incredible products over the years since Steve Jobs' unfortunate passing.

You know, you can point to plenty of accomplishments and say, you know, well, that was because of Tim Cook's Apple.

But overall, Tim Cook's Apple has been a string of disappointments more and more lately.

And it just really feels like the company is off track in some key ways.

And I don't want to relitigate all of that because I've talked about this before in various writings and...

I have some thoughts on what John Ternus might be able to do to turn things around.
