Almost every article you’re going to read about Apple’s just-announced iOS 26 operating system for the iPhone is going to focus on its new “Liquid Glass” design.

“At long last, Apple has finally entered the AI race.”
That was the first line in my story about Apple’s announcements at WWDC 2024, almost exactly one year ago from today.

Moderna CEO and cofounder Stéphane Bancel probably never imagined he’d look back on March 2023 as the good old days. Then, he merely had to go before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and take a spitty dressing-down from Senator Bernie Sanders over the price of Moderna’s COVID vaccine. The company was held up as a poster child for “corporate greed.” For a U.S. pharma executive, though, that was more or less business as usual.

Whether you’re streaming a show, paying bills online or sending an email, each of these actions relies on computer programs that run behind the scenes. The process of writing computer programs is known as coding. Until recently, most computer code was written, at least originally, by human beings.
